''Boats Against the Current'' is a 1977 album by Eric Carmen. The title is taken from a line in the novel ''The Great Gatsby'' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was Carmen's second solo LP, after the Raspberries disbanded. It peaked at #45 on the Billboard album chart. The album yielded two charting singles, the title track as well as "She Did It." "She Did It" is the bigger hit from this album,〔("She Did It" by Eric Carmen ). Song Facts. accessed July 28, 2011.〕 which reached #23 ''Billboard'' and #15 ''Cash Box'', as well as #11 in Canada.
