REO Speedwagon achieved grand success few could have imagined following a chance meeting between
founding members Neal Doughty and Alan Gratzer, who were college students at the University of
Illinois in 1966.
They chose the band’s moniker from the REO Speed Wagon, a flatbed truck Doughty had learned of in
history class, with the initials of its founder, Ransom E. Olds. Constant gigging helped them gain a strong
foothold as a live act, but it wasn’t until 1970, upon Gary Richrath’s inclusion, that the band gained vast
regional popularity.
