1299 - Boston Smokin' 1976

"Smokin'" is a rock song by the American rock band Boston, released as the b-side to the band's first single,"More Than A Feeling". The song was a collaborative effort between Tom Scholz, the band's mastermind, who had recently hired lead singer Brad Delp, and one of the two songs on the first Boston LP not written by Scholz alone. Delp's singing style mixed with Scholz's musical style in this song helped their eponymous first album to sell over 17 million copies. It was one of the song Scholz started writing in the early 1970s several years prior to the release of Boston.
