One of the Boys is the third solo studio album by the Who's lead vocalist, Roger Daltrey.[1] It was released in 1977, on Polydor in the UK, and MCA in the US. The sessions were recorded at the Who's Ramport Studios during the winter of 1976[2] (vocals were recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, due to tax complications), and Daltrey allowed students from the local Battersea technical school to film them as an educational project. This also marked the first time that Daltrey had written or co-written a song since "Here for More" (released as the B-side of the Who's "The Seeker") in 1970, and Lisztomania in 1975.[3] Daltrey's original choice for producers were Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, but they declined.

Marvin of the Shadows, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee and Mick Ronson, as well as calling on a member of the Who, John Entwistle.
