Yep, I remember the first times I heard it in the 70's. I was just a blip on the number of good songs showing up on the radio every friggin day. Amazing time for rock music. Delp could wail!! Noting uncommon back then. The crap especially rap that passes for music these days is pitiful.
Bro never grew out of the 80s. Seriously, there are good artists, they're just not very popular because no one as unpopular as them can afford vocal classes. If your problem is pitch correction, listen to Deftones and then tell me it's not important. This singer lived back in a time when skill was the best thing you could have, and that's why you think musicians are worse when really back then not everyone had a chance. If your problem is rap, RACIST If your problem is pop, it's always been bad. Boston ain't pop. Rock peaked a long time ago for good reason. Metal and pop were far too distinct compared to rock and all of it's 00--03-057 and "boots cats and" beats was just on a decline due to cliches. I'd even say that this type of singing is a cliche.

@PIZZAdayisback If you don't like rap you're a racist? FUUUCK you. There is still some good music to be found today but rap ain't it. Rap isn't even really "black" music cause it isn't music at all. You want black music you start off with Mississippi Delta Blues, that became the Chicago Blues by artists like Howlin Wolf and Muddy Watters. THAT is black music and it is real, vibrant music. It inspired the British Invasion music scene as well as the Detroit MoTown sound. Rap? Rap is something else entirely and while there is rap/music fusion, rap in its pure form isn't music.
Brad is probably the most underrated singer/ songwriter of the last 50 years. The great thing about social media is that these hidden legends are exposed to a new audience....
@@davecoop9579 anybody (#me) that tried to do this song at karaoke & got to that part & then realized, "I picked the wrong song...how tf did he hit that". He does it so effortlessly you don't even have a clue how hard it is until you actually try it at karaoke...where you need to do it all yourself...w/out him to harmonize with while just singing to the record.
Bought this album the first week it was released! 2 weeks later, it was playing at our wedding! Still married to the Love of my Life! Thanks, Boston!❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@binxbolling Tom Scholz - electric guitar Brad Delp - lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar Fran Sheehan - bass guitar Sib Hashian - drums While Brad was the main singer, both Tom and Fran sang as well. You can even see them singing in the short.
one of the best voices & ranges in the history of music. He was underated, his vocal range along with his voice makes him a legend, equal in my opinion to Elvis & Joah Groban. I listen to this song at least 3 xs a week, I will never tire of this great song sung by a gifted & talented artist. Thank u for posting this, I've not had the pleasure to hear this acapella. Goosebumps.
Wow, he has a more beautiful voice than I ever realized. Sometimes in rock we don't hear the purity of their voices with all the other sounds, thank you for posting this!
Such an absolute STRONG timeless GIFT to HUMANITY’S ear!!! He was a fucking workhorse of a vocalist that just gives you his soul…perfection!!! The Producing was ahead of its time too!!! THANKS for sharing this, giving where credit is DUE!!!🤯🤯🤯🤘❤️
Music with melidy and a great rhythm. I was fortunate to be 16 in 78 and going to the crazy rock concerts of this era. Back then, the stadium was full of smoke, and half the people in reserved seating headed for the packed floor of swaying bodies. Good times.
I mean, it’s alright. There’s a lot of layers and vocal reverb but you can still tell he doesn’t have the greatest vocal control or tone. He’s singing in his throat. lol
@@jimmorrison4ever529😂 it’s alright.. i mean he is human so it won’t be perfect but reverb and layering the vocals is how you make a song sound full and big on just about every song recorded since the 70’s. i’m assuming you know that since it half seems you know what your talking about.. for a rock singer, dude was good. perfect? no. but indeed good enough 🤘🏻
@@e.k.izzle32 Reverb and layering vocals is often used as a cover up for singers like him that sing in their throat to, "jamming," music (unless you were Freddie Mercury). Granted, he kind of sounded like a goat using vibrato. Not something often used with Aretha, Whitney, Celine, Mariah, etc. They can/could actually sing. This guy sounds like my drunk dad, "jammin' out," to some music in the garage. I mean come on, even with the 80's style of reverb vocals Journey's Steve Perry could sing. Michael Bolton could sing. You're revealing to me less about your point, and more about your lack of music talent. Do you sound like this guy when you sing? Is that why you like his sound? lol...
I wish my generation (I’m 23) got down with Boston and similar era music more often. It holds up so well after all this time. Tom Scholz is incredibly musically talented and combined with Brad Delp (god rest his soul) and the rest of the band they made some great music. Still waiting for the seventh album 🤞😂
Living in that era is something that can’t be explained, but you can get a sense from the music. I feel very lucky to have experienced it. Not gonna lie, it was magical being kid then.
My all time favourite song because of the vocals. The music and vocals work perfectly together.
It was hands down the best time for music we'll probably ever know for a very long time.
One of my favorite bands ever. I love these vocals so much! It’s great to hear them isolated. ❤❤❤
He was so absolutely amazing! Absolutely no one could ever be as phenomenal! Total fan for nearly 6 decades!
Still amazing.... Boston will never get old.
Boston the perfect example of clasical music brought back to life in a style of rock music
He's voice was phenomenal 😍
This song is on my Playlist daily at work.
Wow, he can carry a tune beautifully. The harmony is amazing too

There is SO much going on talent and productionwise during this song. It truly is a work of art.
Absolutely amazing vocals, and drums and guitar and bass and keyboards.
They're effing brilliant!
My favorite bands and such a heartbreak to loose Brad. His voice was so beautiful.
I love these videos that isolate the vocals. Not only is this one spectacular, the harmonies are great.
the harmonies were all overdubs of Brad Delp. He is the ONLY one who sang on the album.
I'm 24 and this is my all time favorite.
It's the pure emotion in the voice makes me shiver everytime
This is the best album to listen to with headphones. You really feel it.
No fking way. Absolutely unbelievable how good and talented they were. Crazy and love them. It makes me want to listen to them more
Now there's talent. The songs, musicianship and the singing. Yep, the best are sadly behind us now. Nothing new compares.

I love Boston. We grew up listening to such great music from that era it was a gift .
I'm glad I grew up in that generation! We had the best music!😊
One of my favorite all time vocals. So pure, clean, powerful and flooded with emotion.

Most underrated singer? Are you serious? Who has underrated him as a singer?

TALENT, NOTHING BUT GOD GIVEN TALENT, i grew up with the music from the 70s, it is just awesome
A song made by gods of music! Really legendary.
Love That Song ... Great Memories come to mind. And their voices Man ... yeah ...
He had an absolutely powerful & melodic voice. This song had me hooked at 6 yrs old & I've loved Boston & rock ever since.
He actually had over tracks of his singing, gave it that sound. Definately one of the most talented guys.
Aw, man. He left the best part out. He hits another high note that's crazy. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Awesome voice.
That moment when they all harmonize really gets you in the feels....
THANK YOU! 🎶🥲💕
That moment when Brad harmonizes with … Brad.
@@Jaco3688Exactly
there is no "they" It's all Brad and only Brad done with overdubs
Always loved how his voice merges with the guitar as the notes rise.
Bought this album the first week it was released! 2 weeks later, it was playing at our wedding! Still married to the Love of my Life!
Thanks, Boston!❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the absolute best voices ever and sometimes gets overlooked
Oh my god that is soooo lovely. Makes me feel happy and nostalgic at the same time.
Layered harmonies are beautiful
One of the greatest albums. Hands down
One of the best bands EVER!
One of the best of all time.
Boston was my absolute favorite growing up. Brad was amazing, the whole band had a great sound . 😁❤️👍
One of my favorite classic songs, vocals , instrumentals are awesome.. all around great song
This band is absolutely fantastic more people should give them a listen! ❤
We were boomers and we had the very first and finest rock ever,. Thanks for posting this. 💫😎❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙
I like the parts where the guitar comes in blended perfectly with the tone of his voice. Composition masterclass
The vibes bro. This song gets me every time.
One of the best bands ever, their fusion changed the course of music at that time, 'raised the bar' they were smartt, talented musicians.
No auto-tune, no computers, just pure talent......
Gives me chills
My favorite classic band for a reason! Incredible musicians. R.I.P. Brad
exactly why 60s 70s and 80s rock will always be the best genre
Thank you for highlighting this. It's perfection. Beautiful.
I wish there was a clear version
RIP Brad you will always be remembered by millions of us fans.
The harmony between all the voices is beautiful. I got goosebumps!
Probably all the voices are his.
@@binxbolling Nope. Including him, there are at least 3 people singing.
@@Hawner Only 3 people made the recording. They had to hire the rest of the band to go on tour.
@@binxbolling
Tom Scholz - electric guitar
Brad Delp - lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar
Fran Sheehan - bass guitar
Sib Hashian - drums
While Brad was the main singer, both Tom and Fran sang as well. You can even see them singing in the short.
Hmm you used to need talent? Surprised?
I have listened to this many times isolated. It's gorgeous. The whole thing of course
Just brought back a memory. 1st concert I went to. My Generation had the best Rock music.
That voice brings tears to my eyes, it's so good.
The production value of Boston's songs are next level.
And it was done by one guy in his basement

One of the greatest rock voice's and bands of all time! #boston
I grew up listening to this. All these years later I still love this song. Sung to perfection - so amazing.
Just listening to that song is like a time machine!
Didn't think I could appreciate BOSTON more than I already did.
Amazing. One of the best songs ever.
those harmonies are pure class
Brad was a master at dubbing.
It's all his voice, and I dearly miss him.
Wow, he has a more beautiful voice than I ever realized. Sometimes in rock we don't hear the purity of their voices with all the other sounds, thank you for posting this!
Crazy what talented people can do.
Today's music can never compare to the 70s, glad I was a part of that decade ❤
That's called talent with the proper effort to back it up and make the most of it.
The 70's was the decade of awesome music! And this proves they had mad skills!
I think it was the best decade of music.
Boston's a great band, dude had a fantastic voice.😊
This song always gives me chills
Boston Boston. One of my fav albums. I've got in on Vinyl, CD and tape. I rattle the windows with it regularly.
Greatest debut album in rock history.
Such an absolute STRONG timeless GIFT to HUMANITY’S ear!!! He was a fucking workhorse of a vocalist that just gives you his soul…perfection!!! The Producing was ahead of its time too!!! THANKS for sharing this, giving where credit is DUE!!!🤯🤯🤯🤘❤️
This song brings back so many good memories
Thank you oh my God… I was talking to someone today about how amazing Boston is. I can’t even talk. I’m so choked up..
Perfect. Absolutely perfect pitch. All of them.
I loved this band. Nobody had this sound like them, that is some of my best memories of my life.
STILL GIVES ME CHILLS!! Boston FOREVER!
Music with melidy and a great rhythm. I was fortunate to be 16 in 78 and going to the crazy rock concerts of this era. Back then, the stadium was full of smoke, and half the people in reserved seating headed for the packed floor of swaying bodies. Good times.
My dad introduced me to Boston with this song and they immediately became one of my favorite bands.
same here
This is why this song is the greatest thing to ever come out
My favorite song of all time.
I’ve always liked this song. Thanks for making it cooler
This gave me head to toe chills!!
Those vocals always gave me chills. He hits his notes so perfectly.
Both of him do!

This gave me a whole new appreciation for this song
❤RIP BRAD You were TRULY A ONE OF KIND WITH YOUR OCTAVE. 😢 YOU WILL NEVER FORGOTTEN.
Amazing, I miss this kind of music.
So iconic. Love it still. Always will. Rock on forever, Delp. In heaven. ❤️
Delp killed himself because he god busted putting a hidden camera in his fiancée’s little sisters bedroom . He was a creep , definitely not in heaven
so great to hear just his voice .thankyou
I love classic rock. Love this song.
My favorite song when it came out 48 (whew!) years ago. It still is. To one of the greatest vocalists that ever lived... rest easy Brad Delp.
48???
@@tacodegroot6442 1976! I remember the first time I heard it!!!
Sometimes I think about just that... I hear a song and think "wait, I was 14 when that came out... *48 years ago*"
OMG! This song is even better with just vocals!
Incredible!
I actually like just the vocals. The original song, not so much.
I blasted this is my car for over two decades. This sound still hasn’t gotten old.
A-MAZING!!!! Now THIS is REAL MUSIC!!!
Greatest voice ever!!
The note he hits as hebgets higher in "awaaaaaaaaay" until it matches the incoming guitar solo note always gives me chills. Beautiful song.
Man, I miss those days. Great music.
This legit brought tears to my eyes. I had this song playing at my wedding, i asked the dj to start the chorus right when we kissed. It was perfect.

I've ALWAYS said Brad Delp had one of the greatest ranges of ANY rock singer!!! INCREDIBLE!! RIP Brad.
