Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 14, 2015 Members Share Posted September 14, 2015 So being a fellow Illinois guy, we grew up hearing REO. And when I think of Gary Richrath, I think of this song and it's dueling vocal/guitar bit, so here it is. And R.I.P. Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beck Posted September 15, 2015 Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 Makes me feel old... another great group with roots in my hometown area... Champaign-Urbana, IL. Seems like yesterday they were at the top of their game, and you couldn't turn on the radio around here without REO being there somewhere on the dial. RIP Gary! Lots of great memories!

Phil O'Keefe Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I always thought Gary was the best thing about that band. Sorry to hear he's gone. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 15, 2015 Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 I always thought Gary was the best thing about that band. Sorry to hear he's gone. RIP. I thought so too...although in that song I posted, Kevin Cronin sounds pretty good trading dueling parts with Richrath. And that bass player sounds really darned good all the way through, especially in the breakdown. As a kid growing up, we used to joke around and mimic the dueling part..."twit twit twit twittle-ee-dooo....twit twit twit twittle-ee-doooo..." so I always think of Richrath when his name comes up.
