REO Speedwagon took its name from the REO Speed Wagon, a flatbed truck and fire engine, manufactured by the REO Motor Car Company. (R.E.O. are initials of the company's founder, Ransom Eli Olds, who also founded Oldsmobile, once a division of General Motors.)The band released their most popular song, 'Keep on loving you' in 1981 as a single from their album 'Hi Infidelity'. It features the lead guitar work of band member Gary Richrath. The single reached number 1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 7 in the UK Singles chart and number 13 in the Dutch Top 40.
