In 1976, Boston released one of the most iconic debut singles in rock history, but Boston wasn’t really a band. As Music Mongoose breaks down in their viral video essay, “More Than A Feeling” was almost entirely the work of one man, MIT-educated engineer Tom Scholz, who spent five years building the track in his basement, played most of the instruments himself, and convinced Epic Records they were signing a full group. Brad Delp’s soaring vocals completed the illusion, and the result became one of the fastest-selling debut albums in history. It’s one of rock’s great origin stories.
