“She's The One” by The Ramones

"She's the One" comes off Road to Ruin, the fourth studio album from the Ramones, which Sire unleashed on September 22, 1978, and it's a record born out of a shake-up. Tommy Ramone, beaten down by life on the road and by the thin sales of the earlier albums, had left the band, so this is Marky Ramone's first time in the hot seat, slamming away behind Joey Ramone's lead vocal, Johnny's guitar and Dee Dee's bass.

Tommy didn't go far. Credited as T. Erdelyi, he produced and engineered alongside Ed Stasium. The album around the song wanders off the punk straight-and-narrow into metal-flavored guitar solos and ballads cut from 1960s cloth, a turn some heard as a grab for airplay. The writing credit goes to Joey, Johnny and Douglas Glenn Colvin.
