More Than A Feeling
The world of music lost one of the golden voices of rock last weekend. Brad Delp, the voice behind the group Boston died at the age of 55. There appeared to be no foul play or drug overdose. The latest comment was that he died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Brad's vocal range was what made him such an amazing singer. The way his voice would follow the guitar as Tom Scholz wound his fingers up the frets is nothing short of magic. Of course, the mixing in the studio I am sure added to that unbelievable sound.
I know that I am going out on a limb by putting out who I think the best vocalists of rock and roll are but it is only my list of favorites. The best voices of the golden age of rock are as follows:
1. Paul Rodgers of Free, Bad Company, The Firm and lately of Queen
2. Bon Scott of AC/DC
3. Lou Gramm of Foreigner
4. Brad Delp of Boston
5. Freddie Mercury of Queen
The order is really not important as I listed them while mentally running through my library of music. I know that each of them has their own unique quality that adds greatly to the musicians they played with. Unfortunately three of the voices on the list have passed on but we still have their music to remember them by and is some cases, that may be for the best. So to celebrate the passing of one rock and rolls greats...
More Than A Feeling
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
It’s more than a feeling,
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin’ away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It’s more than a feeling,
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin’ away
When I’m tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away. She slipped away.
It’s more than a feeling,
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin’ away
