Keep On Lovin' You (REO Speedwagon vocal and guitar cover)

Well, just D/L this today and sang it. Then put my old guitar parts over it. I sang lead and background vocals. Not bad for 0 rehearsal and 6 hrs of sleep, I guess.

[@TruthSurge]

Just a HUGE THANK YOU to all the nice people who have complimented me in this vid. I have too many comments now to reply personally anymore and that kind of saddens me because I was very anal about replying but now it is just not mathematically possible anymore. So I will pin this comment and say thanks to all those who commented favorably and to all those who will in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

TruthSurge - I think I’m in love...😍♥️

[@MrTs1986]

Love and respect for Iran , great job sir

[@ecannon649]

Your great man! Love all your singing, really do. You said in one of your other vids "its not carry a laser" I swear Ive been singing that song for days now like that. My wife says "It's not carry a laser dammit!"

[@jamesdeth94]

TruthSurge someone should buy you some bad ass headphone for you for real

[@jeannielawrence8614]

TruthSurge you sing very beautiful

[@meangreen323]

Why isn't this guy seriously famous. This guy is brilliant

[@heathusry3048]

This is the best cover of Keep On Lovin' You that I have ever heard. IMPRESSIVE!

[@deeharris7888]

I grew up in the 70's grate times. Thanks for not letting go of the past. You rock Santa. 👊🎅👍 👔 I believe in you.

[@TheNEEDSANAME]

super talanted dude! love it guitar solo sends chills down spine!!!!

[@MrRls11439]

Great job! I know there are TONS of those guys that cut their teeth on 70's and 80's music back in their younger days that never got a record deal or any fanfare even tho they had and still have tons of talent. I don't know Truthsurge's history, but big ups to him for taking advantage of the new media to not only make content that people enjoy, but that gets some recognition of his talent.

[@GabrielMartinez-ns5ul]

Dam it this song brought So many Memories from the hood.. I was 14 yrs old living in San Antonio TX. Mercedes st. Hope any one still alive and listening to this song I'm stillkicking it .....LolI

[@teenut7024]

I love this. But, honestly, I often come back to see the quilted backdrops! 🥰 Tiz all beautiful!

[@misspeo3619]

Hihi... Me Too 🤣🤣👍

[@Homosapien-ju6dz]

There's talent out there that deserves respect and fans. Its amazing how life works and somebody like this never gets noticed.

[@amandanelson291]

Yessssssss I agree

[@sdkelly1957]

You are so amazing. Such talent. Thank you.

REO story. They were a local mid 1960’s band at the University of Illinois playing mostly at the Red Lion. I was a bar tender at the rival bar, The Chances “R”, the “classy” bar as opposed to the hard rock society image at the Lion. Still, REO night packed the house and they were featured on many football weekends and special event nights. A diminutive power house was gestating in the middle of all this. It’s name is Irving Azoff who singlehandedly created the industry that is booking and managing bands at different venues. No question, REO was his favorite but there were other acts including Fog Hat and Michael Murphy getting their licks in too. Irv hung out with the owners and managers of both bars and was a fixture at both with his two sidekicks, Bob Nutt and John Barrick. They took great delight in forcing up the cost of the bands and playing the two bars off against each other. Still, my best rock and roll memories were tending the floor “speed bar” right below REO’s giant speakers and pouring 16 Oz. Beers as fast as I could all night. The M.O was to open the tap and never turn it off for as long as four hours. Six waitresses were on a circuit and never sat down. In that time I would personally “turn over the register” by selling a thousand dollars worth of beer at $0.50 a mug. That was quite a feat. There were two other bars with a total of four more bartenders all doing about the same. The place was a gold mine. Irv decided to pack up the entourage, his hand picked bands and everything he could steal and head to LA where he opened Front Line Management. Soon he endeared himself to the Eagles by paying off a Mexican sheriff and springing them from the hooscow. Back in SOCAL he scooped up Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt and a whole bunch of others. He is now the richest and most powerful person in the entertainment industry. If you participate in any way with the music industry Irv gets a cut. And it all started with a little guy playing favorite venues against each other using REO as the coveted prize. Look him up. You won’t believe it. Oh yeah while he was at it he thought up and produced the movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, getting into another entertainment area career.

[@jamesohara8461]

You are truly amazing.. thank you for sharing your gift ....with us... bless you

[@DecimatedSoul]

U have to be the best 80's Vocal covers youtuber ever! I absolutely love this song and grew up on it thanks to my kickass father!

[@juancarlospotosmetellez3658]

He venido dándole seguimiento a sus cover muy buenos con el corazon reviviendo lo mejor dela música en inglés saludes desde Nicaragua

[@felixramos3078]

This song bring back real good memories. When I was 19 yrs old, back in 1982, I took my first love to one of REO Speed Wagon's concerts, and this son was played. What days were those days. When we ran free, and wild!. Great cover...

[@jerichocaeser]

This man has the WOW factor like none other. He most definitely deserves a contract, but they will then make him sing their music, the one they think is "in" and that may or may not end badly.

[@paulalivingstone2574]

Knew words to this song by fourteen yrs old n now fifty n it just same as then except you but one heck of vocal once again thank you for the reminding me of the memories this song has for me

[@Abyss2203]
