One of the Boys is the third solo album by The Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey. It was first released in 1977. The sessions were recorded at The Who's Ramport Studios during the winter of 1976 (vocals were recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, due to tax complications), and Roger allowed students from the local Battersea technical school to film them as an educational project. This also marked the first time that Roger had written or co-written a song since 'Here For More' (released as the B-side of The Who's 'The Seeker') in 1970. Roger's original choice for producers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was denied.
