Our next song is “Heaven” by glam metal band Warrant from 1989.

“Keep On Loving You” by REO Speedwagon first appeared on the band's 1980 album “Hi Infidelity”. It was the first REO Speedwagon single to break the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching the number-one spot, and peaking at number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
