Kevin Cronin - lead vocals, acoustic guitar, piano.It was framed by a scene of Kevin Cronin talking about his relationship troubles with a female psychiatrist and contained a shot where a woman picked up a telephone connected to Gary Richrath's guitar, referencing the live version of ' 157 Riverside Avenue.' Personnel In 1981, the music video of the song was the 17th played on the first day of broadcast of MTV, on August 1. Д®pic Records did not think the song was good enough to be released as a single but the band persuaded them to do so. But when I heard what he was doing I jumped up and said, вЂThatвЂ™s exactly what this song needs!вЂ™. Now, I am convinced the only reason he did this was to try and drown me our. Finally, though, Gary plugged in his Les Paul to a giant stack of Marshalls and started playing something. But I must have played this part about 100 times, and no-one was taking any notice. Now, usually with us when somebody comes up with a good musical idea and begins playing it, everyone else joins in and we take it from there. Studios, where we were rehearsing, sat down at piano and started to play these chords. The next thing we knew, it was a number one record and everyone was calling it a power ballad and acted like we had this strategy for success that made this song happen when really it was just an accident. Everyone kind of got it and sure enough, Gary went over, plugged in his guitar and started playing power chords to this little love song I wrote. ItвЂ™s the band's job to turn it into an REO Speedwagon song.' I was so passionate about this song. And IвЂ™m like, 'Dude, this song really means a lot to me.' 'So, dude, thatвЂ™s not an REO Speedwagon song.' And I kind of was like, 'You know what? IвЂ™m the main songwriter for REO Speedwagon, so if I write a song, itвЂ™s an REO Speedwagon song. They were like, 'What are you.?' because we were all bringing in songs for this record we were going to make and they looked at me like I was crazy. And the guys in the band looked at me like I was from another planet. I walked into rehearsal and sat down at the piano, which I rarely do because IвЂ™m a guitar player, and started playing 'Keep on Loving You.'. Kevin Cronin stated that he wrote 'Keep On Loving You' as a more traditional love ballad, and the band as a whole developed it into its final arrangement as a power ballad.
