B radley E. Delp is the man with the golden voice, who sang all vocals (lead and harmony/backup) on the first three BOSTON albums.Before Brad joined BOSTON he was working in a manufacturing plant (making heating coils for Mr. Coffee machines) while singing in various Boston-area clubs at night. After former band-member Barry Goudreau brought Brad to the attention of Tom Scholz, Brad began singing on Tom's demo tapes. His indelible voice ultimately became an integral part of the BOSTON sound.
Brad died today and it kind of left me sad. He quit the band over a decade ago and the band has since continued to go on and probably still will without him but it still sucks that he died. Personally my favorite song is "Hitch a ride" on the Boston album.

Hey, glad to see a little shrine to Brad. I just wanted to know if you heard of why he died. Police saiid he placed a 911 call before he passed. Do you know anything? Oh, Hitch a Ride is a great song, but, Smokin' and Party are the best songs! Those two songs are so good, it makes Motab feel the spirit!
