REO Speedwagon - Without Expression (Don't Be The Man) Lyrics

REO did an amazing job covering this song! Mike's voice is perfect for this song!

Touch the sky people! I have two new female neighbors mother and daughter, they are so empty and 'expressionless' they have now targeted me, a deep caring helpful guy and now their hate and hostility is strong in the atmosphere. Don't let yourself go there people, I see the slow destruction in their faces, now I try to just stay positive and in good auric energy amidst these women's poison...

Truly love this song since the 70s.

Gary Dean Richrath!!❤❤

it's "led a line through a busy street bazaar"

This is how I know there'll be a Hammond B3 in heaven.

In Stereo🎹🎧🎹

I probably listened to this song 1000 time or more love it now I play it

This song means a lot because it’s my papaws favorite song. We played it one last time before he died 5 mins later. It will forever remind me of him and his spirit

My all time favorite of theirs

Yep one of my favorite songs

Wow one of my favorite songs

Mike Murphy on lead vocals.

I love his voice sooo much

Sweet one of my favorite songs

Awesome one of my favorite songs

Damn nice

Gotta love the early REO years !!

Awesome I like to listen to this song.

Mike Murphy (not the WILDFIRE guy) who was from Indy, was the vocalist when Kevin left, and stuck around from '73 to '76...Then Kevin returned... Both distinct and very good rock vocalists....

Awesome song I love to listen to Gary Richrath playing his guitar.

AAR CUDA music mix memories

I love REO,this is my favorite song,I love the message

mary jane i was too saw them last night love them forever miss gary too

If only Lord, that everyone could hear this soul rendering reckoning in living life. One of the most deeply spiritual parables ever written🔮

Terry Reid!

did terry reid cover it or did R.E.O?? I really need to know

+winter ramos Terry Ried wrote it, and released it in 1968, and REO covered it in 1973.

@Fit BMX​thanks a million

+winter ramos Yeah, me too!

and John Mellencamp covered it in 1997.

never heard this version.  only the mellencamp version.  thanks!

Check here under 'horses thru a rainstorm", there are versions by Terry Reid (writer), as well as The Hollies, a demo Graham Nash and CSN (got bumped from album for "carry on")... THIS Is my fav, but the 2003 remaster of Terry Reids version is a close second!

Yay the 70s!

THANK YOU!! I LOVE this album!!!!!!

BEST reo SONG EVER.

John Cougar !!!

I  absolutely  Love  this  song.  Reminds  me  of  my  first  and  TRUE  LOVE , TERI  SPEARS !  To  this  day  I  wish  we  were  together  almost  40  years  later.  Peace  and  GOD  Bless  AMERICA !

I seen the footage they have on youtube from 1971 which is really cool they seemed like they pretty heavy rock anti war with a little blues they were great from 71 to say 81 but I would love to see some live stuff with Mike Murphy and Gary singing he sang a lot of songs between 73 and 76 the cow album and he never did another track after that he wrote a lot of there music he had a decent voice

First released version by Terry Reid in 1970 (I think). He wrote it with Graham Nash, so there are versions by the Hollies and CSNY. John Mellencamp also covered it. Thanks for uploading -- I never heard this one!

I looked for many many years to find this song. It ohas so much meaning and bRings me so much j oy with the memories it evokes

LOVE, LOVE Michael Murphy....got edged out by Kevin Cronin...loved the whiskey voice..

How proud your parents must be.

Hey, it's REO doing a Tim Reid song!

Terry Reid

LOL Tim Reid is an actor from WKRP in Cincinnati

Yeah, I had sex with most of them in 1970 what can i say

lucky girl

Not “no”

"Imma THOT?"

this has been, and will always will be my forever favorite song. REO brings back so many happy, and bittersweet memories to me. I almost tear up every time I hear this song.

You got THAT right. :D

I remember my Aunt ( she was 19, me 12) telling me of this Band in Carbondale where she had a friend going to College & they were playing a club or clubs there? If I had only known lol plus been about 6 yrs. older. Bet those were some great times. I live about an hr. from there now, even. Thanks 4 your comment. : ) I'd forgotten all about her telling me those stories. She is the one that introduced me to Beatles at 7-8. lol God bless her.

Good ol' days! I knew Kevin's sister in Danville IL and loved REO for all times! Keep Rockin ; )

let,s me know there is still a god r

Yeah, Kevin got all upity and left. Michael Murphy came in and did a great job. I have never been a Cronin fan. Gary Richrath could play that guitar though, through out it all. He retired a few years back I thought. Who's playing lead for them nowadays?

This brings me back to SIU, Carbondale IL in 1971, local bar, and this was magic. I got to know the band before they got BIG, and it was a roudy fun bar time band. So good, and so much fun dancin. drinkin, and whateverelse...at the time it was music to my heart.

I saw them playing at a high school gym in Minot, ND in Jan 1973. First date with my husband. Vietnam era, we were both stationed in the worst duty station of any military branch. Townies hated GIs. I also saw Chi Coltrane as she was fading out, REO and White Snake in that gym just as they were about to hit the big time. Still married 45 years later. Good memories. Good times.

With the blizzard hammering the midwest, this is the night to play the original Ridin' the storm out.

@EPercuss :I always distinguish between REO Speedwagon, and REO Speedwagon (back when they were good).

Great old tune! Been years since I heard it. Could you possibly post "It's Everywhere" from the same album? Thanks!
