TIL: ‘Hot Child In The City’ Is Performed By A Man

Ok, here’s one for your random pile: I’m driving along and clicking through Sirius stations. “Hot Child In The City” (1978) comes on and I stop and listen for awhile. I hadn’t heard the song in some time, so it was nice to hear a different tune for once. I look at the display screen in my car and notice the singer is… Nick Gilder.
“Surely this must be a mistake!” I thought – that voice cannot possibly belong to a man. When I get to my desk, I hop onto Google and lo and behold, the song really is sung by a man. Gilder once even fronted a 70s Glam act (that was later fronted by Bryan Adams after Gilder went solo). I always thought “Hot Child” was performed by a woman. Seriously.
The more you know.
