BOSTON vocalist Brad Delp dies http://news.yahoo.com/s/a.../obit_delp
ATKINSON, N.H. - Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New Hampshire. He was 55. Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. and found Delp dead. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and that there was no indication of foul play. Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said. The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday. Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002. He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music, according to the group's official Web site. The band enjoyed its greatest success and influence during its first decade. The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's Symphony Hall. On Friday night, the Web site was taken down and replaced with the statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll." A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night. | |

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Wow. So sad. He had a great voice. Some of my favorite songs were "More Than A Feeling", "Peace Of Mind", "We're Ready", etc.

He was a great guy to all his fans. His cover band "Beatlejuice" was the real deal. At least he left a lasting legacy in music. That will never go away. ______________________________________________
