Believe me, every time one of Gary's songs is played (especially on the radio)--he gets paid. All radio stations have to keep track of every song played and...
Hi JB! We're in the process of giving GaryRichrath.com a complete overhaul. With literally thousands of pictures of Gary and the band I've taken over a 30 year...
Hi Ralph! Actually, payment rarely goes 100% to the author of a song. The publishing company, producer, co-writer, record label, and many others can take a...
I miss Gary. I hope he's in good health and I trust he's taking care of himself. I hate to see anything bad happen to him. He means a lot to me and to so many...
It is very difficult to choose only 3 most favorite tunes by REO, but I would have to say for me it would be Roll With the Changes, Back on the Road Again, and...

Same goes here... We all live once, and if I could for a "last wish" see Gary once again (I'd like it to be with REO but...) his own band would be fine, that's...
As an ex-DJ and musician, I can tell you that radio stations do not send in a list of everything they play, they just pay a yearly fee to ASCAP and BMI then...
What sucks about the whole thing is... if there was no Gary, we would've never heard of or knew who Kevin Cronin was, and that's a fact! REO was already out...
My top 3 are Flash Tan Queen, Like You Do and Take It On The Run....followed closely by 157 Riverside Ave., Son of a Poor Man, Summer Love, Only The Strong...
Hi Kathy! If KC is paying to perform Gary's songs, do you think that he could have negotiated the exclusivity on stage? That could explain why he doesn't want...
Fabienne, KC doesn't pay Gary to perform his songs. When Gary's band toured, they rarely performed any REO Speedwagon hits written by Kevin, although the...
Hey, Fabienne. : ) Congrats on getting the best issue of Guitar Player magazine that was ever put out (aside from the October 1977 issue)! I was going to bid...

Funny how Kevin can use the REO name and play Gary's songs, but Gary can't do a damn thing without Kevin threatening to sue! Sure is funny how that works!! If...

I would really like to know if Gary is getting paid! I mean, the guy worked his @ss off for the band and for what???...
Did you ever think that if it weren't for Kevin, that Gary wouldn't have a lot of the money that he does? It's a two way street. I'm not defending Kevin, but ...
They are still playing his songs, so I'm sure he's getting some money out of it. Also I would think he gets some money when CDs he played on are sold. -Max...

I guess I should have said in that earlier post that it is team work that got these guys the money that they have! Also dedication, sweat and numerous other...
Hi Christina ! Thanks. That's true that we've already crossed on Ebay. : ) Right now, I've not received the mag yet but sure I will enjoy it!!! Actually...
Don't the songs belong to REO Speedwagon, and not the writers? Can someone shed some light on this? ... From: REO FANS Subject: Re: [Gary Richrath] kC paying...
Thanks, Kathy. I didn't think Gary was getting paid. Whatever anyone's opinion is about the old vs. new REO, Gary did write much of their old music which they...
The Richrath band did play "Roll with the Changes" from time to time. I was there and shocked, but they did play it. - Jeff ... As I understand it, The...
... If I had a dollar for every time I heard about Cronin whining and complaining about Gary, I'd be a rich man. ... Richrath played a lot of REO songs, just...
Man, I'd love to see Gary on tour again with his own band! He's got a kick-ass set list!!!! I would do just about anything to see this brilliant man again in...
