"(She's) One Of The Boys" by Nick Gilder

I'll never quite understand why Nick Gilder was only a one hit wonder. He blasted onto the music scene with a #1 smash in 1978, "Hot Child In The City." It is a rather tame song compared to some of his other guitar-driven tunes, which expertly mix Rolling Stones, Cheap Trick, and T. Rex influences. He honed his style initially as the front man for the glam band called Sweeney Todd.

Gilder almost cracked the top 40 twice more with "Here Comes The Night" (#44) and "Rock Me" (#57). I've always had a soft spot for the infectious groove of "(She's) One Of The Boys," which comes from Gilder's excellent 1978 sophomore album, "City Nights."
