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.

Then they took a pistol and pointed it at the stomach of a pregnant woman and demanded her cash...George would be proud.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....ain’t that special?
OK, you win the post of the day!
Heh, he was a big rock and roller, and he looked like Rick O’Casek from the Cars...
Heh, I had to go and check the spelling of O’Casek’s name, saw a picture and thought “Yeah...he STILL looks like him!”
He was one of those people who deliberately twisted and mangled every name or lyrics of anything, and we all thought it was hilarious...:)
One of my favorites was his “Open Arms” lyrics:
So now I come to you with broken arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with broken arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Broken arms
You didn’t like “In Your Letter?”
Good times...good times!
I thought it was going to be easy money.
Publicity hounds. The truth never counts.
Probably the last true democrat. We’ll never see his like again.
LOL!
His minute speeches on the floor of the House were great!
I don’t think that Rick O’Casek now looks anything like his pictures considering that he died in 2019.
My favorite Rick O’Casek performance;

Worse than useful idiots because they lend credibility to an organization that would be happy to see you at the end of a firing squad.
I have no problem with this as a humanitarian gesture. Nor do I have a problem with a fair trial for former Office Chauvin. Can’t say I care much for that tune. Maybe it’ll grow on me like the Bee Gees.
😁😂🤣😃
LOL! Spot on description.
LOL, I meant my buddy still looks like him before he went to the great concert hall in the sky!
Lost a lot of respect for Ric after he screwed Paulina over.
Alert....Alert....
