Keep the Fire Burning. Let It Keep Us Warm

One thing undeniable about the 80's is that Kevin Cronin had some great hair some of those years. A fine example of it is being brought to you here today in The Excellent 80's with another REO Speedwagon hit. The video itself is nothing special, but Kevin's hair and all-white clothing choice more than make up for the lack of originality in today's video. From 1982, here is the bad that began many moons ago in Illinois with a top 10 hit - "Keep the Fire Burnin'"...

You and Your Baby Had Some Words Today

... And it was over how bad this video is... I'm not sure what REO Speedwagon was thinking with this whole medievil comedy thing they've got going here, but I do know that lead singer Kevin Cronin makes an awesome Merlin the Magician! Here is the Wagon appearing for the third time in The Excellent 80's today with "One Lonely Night"...

The Wagon Roars into The Excellent 80's

Babies and teddie bears in this video... what? I thought this song was created specifically for my 8th grade girlfriend. I always felt bad for the old man at the end of the video (sniff, sniff), and man did Kevin Cronin have some hair! Yikes. One of the sappiest songs of the 80's, but I know you sang along to it just like I did.
