REO Speedwagon presented LaTonya Floyd, George Floyd’s sister, with a platinum plaque Friday for the Floyds’ favorite song, “Keep On Loving You.”

LaTonya, 52, said the last time she spoke with George, the two sang REO Speedwagon’s 1980 No. 1 hit to each other, People magazine reported.

The band heard the story, and lead singer Kevin Cronin joined a vigil for George in Houston on Friday, according to People. Cronin and LaTonya sang “Keep On Loving You” together.

Afterward, Cronin gave LaTonya the song’s platinum plaque for selling more than 1 million copies.

That is a woman? No wonder the brothers like white wimmin so much.
What is the deal with black women shaving their heads?

one of the criticisms of Cronin back in the day was that he was big on sticking his finger in the wind ..this would be yet another example

So, the millions of dollars they'll be receiving (from the taxpayers, most likely) isn't enough? And I don't believe for a minute that this song was a favorite song of George Floyd - blacks rarely listen to music by whites (voluntarily, at least).

Doesn’t it seem strange that black perps are elevated to saint hood and are worth tearing this Republic apart yet true Americans like Allen West, Tim Scott and Ben Carson are totally ignored by BLM, alleged civil rights icons and all the so called news casters on CNN, MSNBC, CBS and the rest of the Lame Street Media.

I know right, I see the typical black woman in the media these days, and think, what male, regardless of skin color, would be attracted to that?

Were he alive today (and in Congress) he’d go on the house floor and say “Beam Me up Scotty”!

Yikes...can't tell who's a guy and who is a broad. I never knew who "The Wagon" had on their side but "classic" "rock" stations have been playing that crap since the 80s...over and over and over...for almost 40 years...non-stop!

I try to explain to my son why guys like Alfred Hitchcock were successful, as they understood human nature in the respect that they know that the senses get overloaded at some point! The true artists and entertainers are the guys (and girls) who incorporate that in their chosen art! Who the Wagon paid off to get their lame crap played on the radio is beyond me! From the looks of that "guy", maybe they had some videotape of some record execs in compromising positions. It's the only thing that makes sense to me!
