A lawsuit with a corrupt label stopped rock band Boston from releasing anything for 8 years. After ruling the late 70s with hits like More Than A Feeling and Peace of Mind and Don’t Look Back, Tom Sholz and Brad Delp were paralyzed for almost a decade and even though Tom Sholz wrote Amanda in 1980 he had to wait until 1986 to release it after the band won the verdict and were able to record with any label they chose. Their third album called Third Stage went to #1 as did the first single Amanda even though a rough demo bootleg had been played by some radio stations. Up next is the amazing story of the comeback of the 80s!

Since 1955, songs with a one word title- featuring the first name of a female, has, unofficially, hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100... 15 times. To clarify, I am not talking about songs that have more than a single first name- such as “Judy In Disguise” by John Fred & His Playboy Band, or Michael Jackson’s monster hit “Billie Jean.” Just the singular given name of a female. It happened for the first time in 1957, when it happened three times , beginning with Pat Boone’s double-A side single “Love Letters in the Sand” and “Bernardine,” Followed by “Tammy” performed by actor Debbie Reynolds: Later in ‘57, 15 year old Paul Anka scored a chart topper with “Diana.” The last time a single word title with a female first name climbed all the way to #1, was in 1986, and, once again, it happened three times that year: The first in ’86 was “Sara” by Starship. The name “Venus” returned to #1 for the 3rd time, when Banarama recreated Shocking Blue’s original 1970 smash: The third time that a song with female first name went to #1 in ’86 on the Billboard Hot 100 was also the LAST TIME it happened. That distinction goes to “Amanda,” the comeback power ballad from the band, Boston, “Amanda” was written and produced, entirely, by Tom Scholz, the gangly, 6 foot 6 rock n’ roll savant that formed Boston, and the mastermind behind the band’s self-titled LP that became one of the biggest selling albums of all-time. Scholz began developing “Amanda” in 1980, while battling a very contentious lawsuit with Epic Records, the label that signed Boston. The war with Epic was just one of the obstacles that prevented Boston from releasing their third LP. There was also a wicked flood, that damaged the studio, and a massive power outage. Another impediment was Sholz notoriously, obsessive perfection. Tom’s painstaking precision not only frustrated the record label, but also exhausted his bandmates, who were forced to work on solo projects, and other outside work to make a living while Boston went on an extended hiatus in late ’79.

It was the blockbuster record that put rock back on the front burner in the middle of disco…and it came out of nowhere… Tom Scholz and his upstart band Boston saved rock and roll with it’s power chords thought 70s classics like More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, Foreplay/Long Time and Rock & Roll Band to name a few of the powerful song that ignited radio. It sent shockwaves through the industry when it sold out virtually everywhere. Yet it’d been rejected by every major label in the industry. one even wrote a rude letter saying it offered nothing new. Tom Scholz the genius behind it had been tinkering in his basement for nearly 6 years perfecting it’s sound… He was rejected, laughed at and on the verge of financial ruin… It helped that had had one of the greatest singers ever in Brad Delp...Up next an original band member who was there during that stint tells rock and roll’s Cinderella story of the record that saved rock and roll.

Make sure to check us out on Patreon to become an insider with us. It’s time for another edition of our show breakthrough where we break down that singular sensation that helped kick open the door to an artists career and give the long term success. It was one of the greatest debut albums of all time by a monster rock band that by my account is the most under-appreciated bands of the rock and roll era who should’ve been in the rock and Roll hall of fame long ago. I know we talk about the big rock hall of fame snubs quite a bit on here… Well this might be the mother of all snubs. because they really helped save rock and roll when it was floundering in the mid 70s buried beneath an industry built on disco, mellow pop and singer songwriter fare. Not saying anytime bad about those genres just saying that rock was on the back burner. Well this band and their 17 million selling debut album blew up radio. You know who I’m talking about… Boston and their expansive debut album with rock standards like More Than A Feeling, peace of Mind, long time, Hitch a Ride and Smokin to name but a few… Released in August 1976, the debut Boston album sent was a rock and roll miracle. The band came out nowhere and shook the world off it’s axis injecting a primal energy into radio Tom Scholz the author of the Boston sound had been tinkering in his basement for nearly 6 years tweaking the record overdubbing and perfecting the sound he heard in his head. Many though he was going insane. That he had been in doors to long. but Scholz had a vision. and eye single to the sound he was trying to communicate to the world. His dream seemed to be slipping away as he was ridiculed, humiliated and dirt poor. Tom Scholz would later say “Everybody thought that it was impossible, because disco ruled the airwaves at the time,”But we stumbled onto a sound that worked, and soon everybody was imitating it.” The record of powerful riffs, multilayered vocals extravaganzas and harmonize guitar leads would over come the popularity of disco.

Forget the auto-tune. Today we’re going back to an era when singers could actually sing… unassisted. Just raw, pure, unadulterated talent. And in fact, we’re bringing you what I believe is the all-time greatest male vocal performance on a rock song. It’s tough to pick but I think Brad Delp of Boston on their 70s rock classic More Than A Feeling is the GOAT. Written by Tom Sholz the wizard who produced their Boston self-titled debut album in his basement is a perfect song. Upon release, it was an absolute instant classic. At his peak, Brad Delp was hitting and holding high notes that even the best of the best couldn’t reach, but despite that, he rarely gets the credit he deserves. So to put him back in the spotlight, I’m matching him against some insanely talented rock singers. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Freddie Mercury of Queen, and Steve Perry of Journey…. And I’m stripping three iconic tracks down to the vocals for a head-to-head match-up… to prove once and for all who really deserves to be called the GOAT… the greatest one-song vocal performance. Get ready, it’s all coming up… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

If you remember when a TV theme song was a minute long instead of 5 seconds like today you’ll dig this channel of deep musical nostalgia. , subscribe below right now. I promise that you are going to love this channel. I was talking to some friends the other day and we were talking about the greatest one-song vocal performances ever. As they were throwing out some amazing performances All I could do was think of Brad Delp of Boston. How he moved heaven and earth when he was at his peak. Man, Boston, what can you say? So elite. And so far above and beyond your typical rock band. These guys were history in the making. And so was their debut self-titled LP… which is one of the finest AOR albums. One that would go on to sell a staggering 17 million copies. Today we’re giving you a different take on their biggest song. and let’s see if you agree. The line-up for this 70s epic was founded by multi-instrumentalist savant, songwriter, and sonic inventor Tom Scholz. Surrounding him was the formidable team of guitarist Barry Goudreau, bassist Fran Sheehan, drummer Sib Hashian, and at the mic, the legendary lead vocalist and guitarist Brad Delp. This Boston power rock album is a work of both art and science and an extraordinary achievement of imagination and innovation. A massive triumph, Boston’s debut helped save rock and roll and likewise ushered in a completely new era of rock excellence. And although there are only 8 tracks on this self-titled masterpiece, every one was good enough to be a hit single… That being said, the band’s label Epic chose just three, including the larger-than-life lead single: and one that may be the greatest one-song vocal of all time… More Than a Feeling. More Than a Feeling was composed by the great Tom Scholz about the indelible impact that an old favorite song can have in your life. And wow did the theme of that old favorite capture the world’s attention. The song's narrator is not happy with the present, waking up with the melancholy of a cloudy day… and longing for a girl from his past…
