Musical career
Barry Goudreau, a guitarist from 1969, introduced Delp to Tom Scholz, who was looking for a musician to finish some demo recordings. Scholz eventually formed Mother's Milk (1973–74), which also included Delp and Goudreau. Epic Records eventually licensed the album after releasing a demo. Mother's Milk was renamed Boston and released in August 1976 as part of a self-titled debut album (recorded in 1975, although many songs had been published years before) was released in August 1976. Delp's lead and all supporting harmony vocals were performed, as well as all vocal overdubs.

Don't Look Back, the band's new album, was released two years later in August 1978. "Party" and the ballad "A Man I'll Never Be" were among the new hits that resulted from the release of the album.

Delp performed on Barry Goudreau's self-titled solo album, which was released in 1980, after the first two Boston albums.
