Nick Gilder – Roxy Roller
Biography
Feeling they had international scope, Gilder and fellow band member, guitarist and songwriting partner, James McCulloch left the band and signed an American record deal. Gilder’s first album attracted some critical praise but failed to break into the commercial mainstream. It wasn’t until his second solo album, which spawned the smash hit “
Hot Child In The City”, that Gilder finally had chart success in the United States.That song went to No.1 both in Canada and the U.S. It also earned Gilder two more Juno Awards: ‘Best Selling Single’ and ‘Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year’. He also won a People’s Choice Award in the U.S. With several successful songs on the topic of wayward youths, he gained the nickname “The Nabokov of the Jukebox”. Later releases proved less successful, and interest in Gilder’s own music waned over the 80s and 90s compared to his 70s heyday.

To morriseygirl - I quite agree - Nick's vocals - once experienced beyond "Hot Child" are truly extraordinary - I literally feel American radio cheated us out of some of the finest records of the era by denying Nick a follow-up - having said that, I can recall vividly that summer in '78 - the singles being released that year were state of the art - but none other single in such heavy rotation - SPLENDID STUFF!
