ROCK N ROLL HISTORY

On this day in 1981 this group's album Hi Infidelity began a 14 week run at #1 on the U.S. charts and yielded the #1 song "Keep On Loving You."

Yesterday's answer: Florence Ballard. When the Supremes first started Ballard was lead singer on some of the songs as well as Diana Ross. As Ross became more popular and she became a backup singer the three friends fought which eventually led to Ballard leaving the group. She fell on hard times, but in 1975 staged a comeback concert at the Ford Auditorium in Detroit on June 25, 1975 which was well received. Unfortuantely in 1976 she died of a heart attack.

That would be REO Speedwagon.

You're right. I loved that album when it came out. It had quite a few hits off of it.
