Today's Morning Edition music is from "Keep On Loving You" by REO Speedwagon. It's one of the songs they played in the first concert broadcast in stereo on MTV on this date in 1981.

The concert was in Denver, and the group was on tour having recently released its hit album "High Infidelity."

"Keep on Loving You" was the first of a string of hits from that album, making it all the way to No. 1 in the U.S.
