Best roller-skating rink anthem EVER!
At the skating rink growing up there was a girl that would also skate to this song. Oh did us guys love her.
YAh man! Woooo!,,/
I was born in ‘68, I have enjoyed this song for decades. I did not know a man sung this until now, May 2021.
Ikr... such a pretty voice!!! No wonder they pounced on HIM! 🤣😆🤣
Thought it was pat Benatar
That's a high five took me a long time to figure that one out myself
how bout jackie blue from this era? thought that was a woman as well..
👍 me either
Nick was born in London, but raised in Canada. He was the singer in the Vancouver, British Columbia band "Sweeney Todd" in the early 70's. I saw him preform twice with that band in my home town in BC in 1972 and 1973. They were an awesome band and Nick was just incredible. Great voice and performer. He could do high one leg kicks with one leg on the stage and the other over his head! Never saw anything like that since.
The second time I saw him he gestured to the audience to join him on stage. Being a big fan I jumped up with a few of my friends. He waved off the bouncers and shouted ``Let them stay! `
Ì Sang several songs arm in arm with Nick! About half way through the third song his guitarist James McCulloch ran up to me and said `We`re going to end the song soon, could you please clear the stage`. We quickly jumped off. After the show Nick and James came out to talk to us and signed autographs (which I lost in a move years ago, sigh). One of the most magical memories of my youth since a few years later Nick was number one with `Hot Child in the City`.
They came to Merritt about that time too, very awesome, and he mooned the crowd!!
@@mustangterrry9122 LOL That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing. Nick and Sweeney Todd we're so awesome back then. Nick was an incredible performer.
@@pleasantvalleypickerca7681 I learned that he also wrote the song, Warrior that is done by Patty Smyth, very awesome tune...
Born in England but raised in Canada from the age of 10. He's English-Canadian! Still living and performing in Canada.
Still lives in Vancouver.
I was born in 62 and i can remember when this song came out!!! Turn that radio up!!!!
What a unique voice, his voice colour and his vocal range are quite special.
Summer of 1978 was great
I turned 16 in July of '78. I remember walking down Euclid Ave. in downtown Cleveland feeling bad--my Mom worked two jobs and was never home. This song was on someone's boombox on a balcony I walked under, and I heard a whistle. I remember asking God "will I have a good life?" Not minutes later, on the sidewalk, I saw something glisten: it was a gold "Sweet 16" necklace! I still have that necklace, I have a beautiful life and I still love this song!
It was. I was 17.
I found my special purpose that summer.
@@lindat1790 .
Very true...
Very much a glam rocker in the vein of David Bowie and Marc Bolen! He has such a unique vocal quality!
OMG this song brings back forgotten memories of the 70s it makes me miss my cousin Yvonne Lynn I hope your singing this in heaven
I used to love this song when I was little 😂
Oh me toooooo
🎼🎤🎼🎹🎼🎸🎼🎺🎼🎷🎼🎻🎼
I was born in 1984 and my kickass parents introduced me to amazing music and bad ass artist like Nick, Queen, Mr. Cash, Waylon and the list goes on and on.
🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Im definitely subbing to your channel my friend
Got ya beat Lol. I'm 58 years old, and smokin, and loving the same stuff, and my love for new artists never stops! Let that memory and your love of music, never die.
This song makes you feel like music in the 70's was just that plain ole good old rock and roll
Lord, that man needed a good helping of pancakes and bacon.
All those pancakes and bacon helped none. Even today he still hasn’t gained an ounce.
@@rayva1 he's still around wow!
Cocaine is a helluva drug..
Meanwhile most people his age are now fat! I used to be that thin. Wish I still was.
He looks like he’s related to The Bee Gees
Love the old skool music.
His parents were friends my mom back in vancouver i remember one summer listening him play guitar while visiting his parents place I loved his music,
Love it! The 70's & 80's the best!! Life was great!!
Nick also co-wrote the Patty Smyth and Scandal hit, "The Warrior". That's LA session drummer Craig Krampf on drums. In the 1980's, it seemed like every time a west coast act was on American Bandstand, he was sitting in on drums. He played on "Bette Davis Eyes" among other hits. That 1970's period was a great time for pop/rock hits!
Nick Gilder was a drummer, and he played on Bette Davis Eyes? Lay off the weed, punk. We're here to listen to Nick Gilder, not Kim Carnes.
@@Tomasquo *Read it again, genius. Craig Krampt is the drummer that's described (and no, I never edited the original comment from 7 months ago). You need to complete a course in reading comprehension.*
@@Tomasquo Do you know how to read numb nuts?
Yikes!
I think this is a great history lesson! Craig Krampf was a bad ass.
This was the first 45 I bought. I was 8 years old and I loved this song! It was the 70s man😁
This is the only TV version of this song I've ever seen with its correct ending! Great archive!
Janice Turner I loved this song in the early 80s. I still like this song.
Still listening to this classic in 2021 !!
This is my feelgood song taking me back to the summer of 1978 and me listening to this song on my portable AM FM radio out in the back yard while my 38 year old versions of my mom and Dad were inside the house full of life with no health issues. God, what i wouldn't give to be able to go back then and re-live the late 70s! Come on, Doc Brown and Marty Mc Fly, swing by and take me back to 1978!
😅
My First Album!
I have loved this song since I came out in the 1970’s when I first heard it. Still a favorite of mine today.
I love this song when I grew up in the late 1970s! The chicks were really hot back then too!
LOVE THIS BACK BEAT
Wonderful sound out of that Rickenbacker bass
Gilder was AWESOME
A unique voice and wonderful song. Good backing band.
Great song !! Brings me back to my high school days !!
Totally up there 1978 song.
Wow, rare find for this great song. Famously wonderful guitar lick.
Love this song!!!❤
LOVED this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥️
This is a mimed performance, but quite charming. They did a live version on "Midnight Special" you can find on UA-cam which smokes, but this is a better video capture. Love the fact they had a lefty lead guitarist!
i just watched the midnight special performance, and maybe i am wrong, but i assumed it was lip synced as well. maybe i'll have to watch t again.
here we are live ua-cam.com/video/shIxy6GhwdU/v-deo.html
@@jamieh1792 Yes def a live performance!!!! What a treat man... 😁😁😁👍
@@vegetablehead Midnight Special performance is NOT lip synced. It is the band performing live and they sound friggin' fantastic.
I remember hearing this song on AM radio WNUE Fort Walton Beach radio in the 70's. Great times living in Destin Florida back when Destin had one traffic light!!!!
Do you still live in Destin?
Ah yes.. Destin - home of McGuire's and the .19 bowl of bean soup :)
Oh yeah i was there in 1975 only 19 in the US ARMY Built the SeaWall what a party on the beach at night
Timeless!... On the RADIO in NZ in 2022.. thanks from down under👍🇳🇿
You can tell Nick was a Bowie fan
Yeah I hear that and I hear some kind Robert Plant thing as well. Nick was really original but I guess the tie that binds is they're all rather androgynous
🍆 That Ain't No FINGER!
Lip-Sync'd to the Max!
@Gaming and Technology Fun I liked Nick Gilder and this song, but I think he should have eaten a little more.
@@PowderMill So????
RBAD RBAD
I think the OP was referring to Bulimia, as Nick Gilder was beyond thin here.
Lovin it!
I heard this song again...talk about a blast to the past! My older sister turned me on this song when I was in Jr. High school.
This song was playing at the burger joint in 1978 where I went after school. Pius 10, downey, California. Beautiful memories. I was free. I thought I was the hot child. I dont remember eating there, or being with a friend. But I used to walk around the area after school. It was not my hometown neighborhood. I truly felt so free.
For 45 years I thought this was sung by a woman. Mind blown 🤯
We are in the same boat. Except it were 43 years for me.
Me too!!!!
30 years here.. lol
Same wtf?! 😝I thought it was Nikki glider
1978 HOT CHILD IN THE CITY.....NICK GLIDER
Iconic, hes voice is soulful.
First time I heard this song, I bought the album, Go Nick!!! I still love this song.
I was a junior when this came out and the guys I hung out with thought that also until one day we were looking at the magazine I believe called “Song Hits”, and realized it was a guy....
We were actually relieved cause then the song made more sense to us then😂
I'll have to agree with you. I just assumed that this song was sung by a girl, despite the name "Nick". Good voice either way.
I listen to this video all the time.
Such a pretty voice... God i loved this song when i was a kid and i had no idea what he looked like or who he was, but i remember that pretty, pretty voice. And now i have a face to.put to it... 😁
I remember back in "79" i was living in Denver, and living and working on a horse ranch. There were tons of run-a-way girls from Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma that ended up there too. That song was always playing on the radio.
Nick Gilder's voice is so unique and original! I've always loved it! This song was super Big when it came out back then! It's got that eery, mystical, savvy sexy vibe to it that made it what it is! Thank you Nick and Band for a wonderfully memorable Rock song as well as album in " City Nights"!" 🌞.......
what r u talking about? he sounds like a woman.
GRT SONG ...RIFF IS THA BEST TO PLAY ..USED TO DO IT ...SING IT ...GO NICK ...FRM AUSTRALIA ...
Wow!!! They didn't cut the ooh off at the end!!!❤
Lyrics. Enjoy
Danger in the shape
Of somethin' wild
Stranger dressed in black
She's a hungry child
No one knows who she is
Or what her name is
I don't know where she came from
Or what her game is
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty
Hot child in the city
So young to be loose
And on her own
Young boys, they all want
To take her home
She goes downtown
The boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown
She walks like she just don't care, yeah
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty, yeah
Hot child in the city
Come on down to my place, baby
We'll talk about love
Come on down to my place, woman
We'll make love!
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
She's kind of dangerous
(Hot child in the city)
Young child
(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)
Young child, runnin' wild
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
Oh!
Hot child
Oh my gosh I had a huge crush on him!! I was young and thought that it was my song perfectly.
Wow! I remember this so fondly
...all I gotta say is I learned about the " birds and bees" to this song. Thank you Brenda where ever you are.
This song grooves hard AF.
Looks like Rod Stewart's kid brother.
Except for 2 things
1) he can sing
2) he doesn't really look anything like him
LMAO!
he looks more like Tom Petty than Rod Stewart.
He looks like Evgeny Pleshenko's twin brother.
Did anyone else use a frisbee to roll a joint back in 78' ?
That's super funny dude! Because back in 78 we all were in the park playing frisbee and getting high...Unlike today!
lol
Holyshit I want to try that I'm an 80s kids
We called it the “drug disc” for a reason…
@@heidisanderson7768You know whats funny we were doing itin early 2000s playing frisbee golf. Different times but same idea lol.
No way in hell could a song like this be recorded and played on air today
You are right and it's a shame.
Loove it ❤❤
Outstanding remember when it came out
I was at this performance. It was 1978. I was 16yo. We were in Las Vegas for a family vacation. They were giving away free tickets at Caesars for the daytime taping of the Merv Griffin Show. The other guests were Shecky Greene, Andrea McArdle, Lola Falana & the Amazing Kreskin!! If that isn't 70s Vegas, I don't what is.
Good old times
An even better song sung by Nick Gilder is Roxy Roller by Sweeney Todd (the band he was lead singer for before going solo)
Rare and good classics
I was obsessed with this song about 2 years ago and used to walk to work to it almost every morning. Still love it 💘
This is cool. I am curious to learn more about Nick Gilder. I know he wrote "Warrior" as done by Scandal. But that's it really. Obviously, a great song writer and singer, I assumed who is underrated.
His first hit was Roxy Roller, as Sweeney Todd.
did you know that Bryan Adams was in Sweeny Todd after Nick left to pursue solo work?
Love him 💕
I was 13 when this song made #1
He was my first concert at garfield Park indpls Indiana
I believe this is same year.
This song goes with a tube top and roller skates
All of Nick's five first studio albums were very strong. His 85 release was also good.
YEEEH
I always thought a girls sang this song.... omg
Me too
Ditto
IKR? LOL!
Same here
Same here, I never knew that he was english though
UN GRAN TEMA
The GOODT old days!
When you watch these old clips they always sound identical to the record
Me and y best friend sneaking this on the radio in the car in the garage...at 13.
Nice Ric bass in this song!
I have a dear friend named Zya that reminds me of Nick. She could so totally do this song!
Unique, to say the least.
Damn he was a bone. He loved boys. Sick fock! 🔥🔥🔥
Take me back in time ❤💋😻
👍💥🎼
Man if this were still the 70s and I was hearing this guy sing, I would’ve been thinking, here’s a man who still hasn’t hit puberty.
2022 Rules forever 👍.
No
Nick was a cool dude.
L GROW UP WITH THIS SONG I WAS BORN IN 65
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I thought this song would be easy to sing at karaoke.... Until I tried to....
I used to sing this when I was 30 to 48yrs old. Now I'm 59. I think I might still me able to sing it......maybe...lol.
I put this song on my road trip playlist and now my dad doesn't want to play my playlist because I didn't put any Duran Duran
love to see all these vids where old squares have to grit their teeth and introduce these hot young acts....
Hot child in the city running wild and looking pretty...
Wow
My higher power is amazing....
Sober living...
Georgia peach
A time for mind renewal..
No more baggage claim......
I hear human voices....
amazing how they got that performance so close to the radio edit. they will probably turn the mic up so nick can say “thank you!”
sort of.. click here ua-cam.com/video/shIxy6GhwdU/v-deo.html
I had this song on 45 and always seen a “pat benatar” type singer.
THIS ISNT PAT BENATAR!!
Nick Guilder should have been bigger than he was. He had style, height, glam and a charismatic face. He reminds me of Bowie a little bit. He came too early. Bands like, Duran Duran came after him.
NOOO NOT DURAN DURAN!
Always thought this was a girl singing this song..
I was 7 when this song came out and I never new if the singer was a male or female. Still today I hear a female voice and was shocked I looked up the song to find it was a male the whole time. It made me laugh, great song.
What movie is this
