It's a guy. I would have to pull my CD but I think his name is Nick Gilder.

Your right, it is a guy and that is his name. Up until a few years ago I used to think it was a woman singing also

Yes, Nick Gilder is a dude.

Nick went on to co-write the Top 10 hit "The Warrior" for Patty Smyth & Scandal in 1984.

That beat is badazz. Not the chorus but the slow groove on the verses.

Love this song! When I first heard it, I could've sworn the vocalist was female! Too bad Nick Glider never took off and had more hits here. I don't think this song is easy to find on a decent compilation and anytime I've ever looked for his CDs, they are out of print or expensive imports.

You can see him perform this on the 1979 Midnight Special DVD.

There's something so perverted about the lyrics coupled with the groove that makes this song so great to me. It's scary yet sexy in the worst way. It's a classic track.

I ran a thread about "Here Comes The Night" by Nick Gilder a long ass time ago. It's on the same album as "Hot Child". I'm a big fan of Nick. Have all of his shit. I wore his albums out when I was a kid. I still bump "Hot Child" and especially "Here Comes The Night" in my ride right now.
