    As a die hard Boston fan, I’ve always been interested in and followed the group’s former band members as they pursued music outside of Boston. Barry Goudreau released his first solo album in 1980, with Brad Delp and Fran Cosmo on vocals. He pursued his solo album because Tom Scholz wouldn’t include any of the songs written by Barry in Boston’s repertoire. The relative success of Barry’s solo album triggered Tom Scholz to fire Barry. He then went on to form Orion the Hunter in 1984 with Fran on vocals. In 1990, he formed RTZ with Brad on vocals. Barry, Brad and Fran produced some great music outside of Boston, which never really got the recognition it deserved.

      This is very interesting - thank you very much for the information. So, to me it looks like Mr. Scholz is somewhat vain... Anyway, I like both of them: Boston AND Orion. And I will look for Barry Goudreau's first solo album (1980) that you mentioned. Many thanx for the hint!

      You had your facts correct until you got to RTZ. Barry formed RTZ in 1985/86 and utilized 2 singers at different times (one being Fergie Fredrickson from Toto) before Brad quit Boston and joined in 1990.

      The beautiful soaring vocal styles of singers like Fran Cosmo and Brad Delp were smothered to extinction by bands like Nirvana, who didn't care for virtuosity and wanted to take music "back to the garage". Once Grunge took over, all these beautiful 80s rock vocalists were pushed underground, their power-vocal styles driven out of fashion.

Those vocal harmonies with the Rockman saturated power chords! Forget about it! It just does not get better than that. This should have received much more airplay on MTV. I watched MTV all the time when this was out and never saw it once. On top of that, the song didn't get played in the midwestern US market. So, I get to discover it now. Rock on people!!

I didn't know Goodreau (and the rest of the band for that matter) was no longer in Boston. Yes, this was pre-Internet, people. I thought it was pretty cool that Heart's Micheal DeRossier was the drummer. The whole album kicks ass.

    In addition to the Boston boys, Brad, Barry, and Fran, Orion The Hunter had an awesome drummer by the name of Michael Derosier. Not only was his timing impreccable, he had a very unique style. He also reminded me a bit of John Bonham because he really pounded the drums hard. Michael is best known as the original drummer for Heart and a co-writter of the song Barracuda. (Michael and Roger Fisher wrote most of the music, while Ann and Nancy wrote the lyrics for it.)

      Jon Blackers The info you provided is only partially correct. First of all, the drummer you are speaking of is Kat Hendrikse (not Hendriksen). Secondly, Heart actually had 4 session drummers on their 1st album "Dreamboat Annie". These 4 drummers were Michael Derosier, Dave Wilson, Duris Maxwell, and Kat Hendrikse. Michael Derosier played drums on "White Lightning and Wine" and "Sing Child Sing". Dave Wilson played drums on "Magic Man", Duris Maxwell played drums on "How Deep It Goes", and Kat Hendrikse played drums on the remaining songs. After "Dreamboat Annie" was completed, the band made Michael Derosier their full-time drummer and he joined them on tour.

      The drummer for Heart that really sounded like Bonham was Denny Carmassi ! Derosier is great, but listen to the bass drums here... Carmassi would never want to sound like that.

    In 1985 Fran Cosmo and Barry began Orion the Hunter.Michael DeRosier, the former drummer for Heart played drums. That's Fran on Vocals who I believe, wrote several of the songs on the album. and yes Anton... he sure does have it!

    Woke up this morning and you were gone
    Found your note by the telephone
    You said goodbye
    I won't be back this way
    I guess in time Ill figure it out
    The flame burned and flickered out
    You sped away and you burned down the highway
    So you ran (you keep on runnin')
    took the heart of a lonely man
    I hope you'd say
    but now you've gone away
    Seemed like I never got a hold on you
    The harder I tried the more desperate I grew
    I should have known I couldn't change your heart
    You once said you need to be free
    Oh babe you could have been with me
    You fade away like the sun turning to darkness
    So you ran (you keep on runnin')
    took the heart of a lonely man
    I hope you'd say
    but now you've gone away
    In this life we might find our way
    But love is more than just day to day
    Why (Echo) why why why
    So you ran
    So you ran
    So you ran
    Baby
    I wonder who your with tonight
    Can he save you from the sacrifice
    Will he love you hold you
    For another day
    Or is it just a stop on your lonely highway
    Baby
    So you ran (you keep on runnin')
    took the heart of a lonely man
    So you ran
    I hope you'd say
    but now you've gone away

She was labeled as "difficult to work with", and her Hollywood career flamed out around 2000 at the age of 40. ... So,, she was PERFECT for this video vixen role, as it turned out (..IF that is truly her) !

Fran is on fire; he brings a certain Geddy Lee style to the microphone. IMHO he was the only logical choice for Tom Scholz for recruitment as a lead singer in Boston along with Brad Delp, who will live on in my heart forever.

  • @JHoliday330

    GREAT song, MAJOR personal significance! To quote Miles Goodwin 'words are sometimes hard to find, but silence can be so unkind'. An old acquaintance with EXTREMELY cruel intentions re-introduced me and a mutual acquaintance from childhood, knowing that she had already been planning to move 1,000 miles from home, but it totally BLEW UP IN THE FACE OF the ex-'friend' who tried to set her (a woman so beautiful that few men see past her looks) and me (a widower who knew how to love someone like her) up to be CRUSHED by 'impossible' love. She tried to hide her feelings, until she learned that I was already planning to buy a winter home not far from where she was going. It took 18 months to figure it all out, but the attempt to hurt both of us BACKFIRED bigtime. Starting in 2019, the 'Goodbye Girl' and me will be on the beach in the winters while our ex-'friend' trudges through lake-effect snow. LOL

      I have it too, buried in a closet somewhere, since I haven't listened to any cassette in years. Was lucky enough to find an import CD of it 15 - 20 yes ago. However, as good as So You Ran was, I have to differ with you in that it was the best song. My far and away fave was/is Dreamin'. With that pounding beat and the way Barry shreds in his solo, that song's climax was as good as it gets. I'd listen and be transfixed and transported to another sphere every time. Amazing masterpiece of work hardly anyone knows about. Also the ballad Dark and Stormy was great MO song. 😉
      Sad they aren't on Spotify. So You Ran was until 2 years or so ago, but it was taken away.

    The vinyl album version definitely has the intro vocals to So You Ran.
    This exact same thing happened on ELO's Face The Music for the song Evil Woman. The instrumental intro to Evil Woman was mistakingly placed at the end of the previous song, Waterfall, on the cd (non-remastered version). It's a mistake that pops up every once in a while when record companies do not "proof-read" their transfers from album to cd.
