Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Rock singer and songwriter Nick Gilder was born on December 21, 1951 in London, England. Nick's family moved to Canada and settled in Vancouver when he was ten. Gilder began performing in bands while in high school. His band Rasputin eventually became Sweeney Todd, which holds the distinction of being Canada's first glam-rock group. Sweeney Todd scored a huge hit in 1975 with the terrific "Roxy Roller;" the song peaked at #1 on the Canadian radio charts for three weeks and won the Juno Award for Best Selling Single of the Year. Gilder left the band and went on to pursue a hugely successful solo career. His excellent 1978 album "City Nights" beget the sensuous and exciting smash hit "Hot Child in the City;" the song reached #1 on both the Canadian and American pop charts and won a People's Choice Award in the United States. Moreover, "Hot Child in the City" won Juno Awards for Best Selling Single of the Year and the Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year. The follow-up song "Here Comes the Night" was a Top 20 hit in Canada, but alas flopped in America. Nick has written songs for such artists as Joe Cocker, Bette Midler, Pat Benatar, and Patty Smyth. He co-wrote the 1984 hit song "The Warrior" for the rock band Scandal; Gilder won a BMI Airplay Award for this song. His songs have been featured on the soundtracks to such movies as "Youngblood," "My Science Project," "The Wraith," "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master," "Hot Child in the City," and "Barb Wire," plus episodes of the TV shows "Nip/Tuck," "Sex and the City," "That '70s Show," and "Ed." Gilder makes a cameo appearance in the film "Scenes from the Goldmine." After moving back to Canada in the mid 90's, Nick Gilder reformed Sweeney Todd in 2000 and now tours with the group all over the world.
