Brad Delp, 1951-2007: What a voice.
...And what an indelible, tremendous voice it was. Listen to the sweet clarity and mellow crispness (on the first album) with which he nails those inhuman high notes and carries those melodies on Boston: It's unquestionable that the number of people capable of replicating that can probably be counted on a hand, two at most. Keep in mind: Yeah, Tom Scholz, the brainiac behind the band, was a master DIY production whiz. But this was 1976. The Age of Analog, not pitch-perfection computer sorcery.
It is a positively staggering performance, when you put down the beer or get out of the car and really stop to think about it. More...

Brad Delp had kind of a Gallagher thing going on.
BTW... it sounds too perfect to be live, but I still loved it.
