To this day, my favorite KISS story has to be when they performed a concert on Halloween in Hollywood (about 15-20 years ago) and the concert they were being driven by van back to their hotel. However this being on Sunset boulevard AND Halloween everybody was out partying and causing a virtual standstill in traffic. The band decided to get out of the van and walk back to their hotel. They were still in full makeup and costume having left the concert almost immediately after its conclusion. During the walk, nobody stopped and harassed them and they only got a few complements shouted out on how good their costumes were and they made it back to their hotel with ease because nobody realized who they really were!

dude , thats one hella cool uncle ! I was born in 67 bro. At that age my buddies and I dressed up as KISS, lip sync'd one summer night. passed out flyers to kids in our area. Even a few adults showed up. Played atop of the "green thing" , off to the side of the courtyard ( yes govn't housing and it was a power transformer enclosure heh). We got lots of applause for 3 songs and then the skys opened up for an epic summer down pour. Everyone scattered. Good times :)

Wow, you sure know how to pick 'em, Irish Rocker Girl! I only saw KISS one time, in October of '75 in the Cadillac high school gym, just before I joined the US Navy. The band was just starting to take off when that happened. The story of KISS in Cadillac is fascinating. The whole glam-rock schtick with the make-up and outfits led the band to create a vast array of collectible merchandise which sold very well and made the band a lot of money. Their live shows were filled with lots of theatrics: Gene spitting fire, Ace's guitar giving off sparks and smoke during solos, lotsa pyrotechnics throughout. The look on your face when you recognized Gene Simmons by his tongue: simply priceless!

[@garylogan3640]

When this song was released, it caused a bit of an uproar amongst Kiss fans, many of them hated the fact that their favorite hard rock band had written a disco song. It was written on a bet. Paul Stanley (the lead vocalist for this song) had bet a friend that it was easier to write a disco song than it was to write a rock song. This was the result, and he wrote it quickly, supposedly over a single weekend.

[@christopherconard2831]

A fair number of hits have been cranked out fast. My Sharona (The Knack) was written along a similar challenge. The writer didn't like pop music of the time because "anyone could write a top 40 song". When told to do try if it was so easy he wrote the song in about 15 minutes. I've read some reports he wrote it while sitting on the toilet. Or about as long as it takes to crap. According to Robert Plant, Stairway to Heaven took as long to write as it does to play. For all the work and creative talent musicians pour into their work, it's often throw away or filler pieces that end up defining them.

Great video Diane! I love that you checked out KISS! I know I was one of those who suggested them! I would rather you did "Rock and Roll All Nite" but am excited you did a KISS song! The RRAN video shows them at the best in real concert! I've seen them 16 times myself in concert! An awesome experience! This song interestingly was their biggest commercial single and also is directly responsible for the original group to break up. Within 3 years of this video 2 original members left the band. They both came back for the Reunion tour in 1996, but have since left again. KISS just announced their last show as a group this December in NYC! Keep up the great work beautiful!

[@davidwillford3119]

The song that you thought might be from the band KISS sounds like the song titled "Kiss" by Prince. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was released near the end of the disco era, and was KISS's version of a disco song. Various other rock acts at the time, such as Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, and others released disco-influenced songs in the late 70s, with varying levels of artistic and financial success. Most KISS songs were heavier than this, although they also had a big hit with a soft ballad titled "Beth". Coincidentally, I attended a KISS concert around the time "I Was Made For Lovin' You" was released. In July 1979 I saw KISS at the Pontiac Silverdome (a football stadium near Detroit). I was not a big KISS fan, but I went mainly to see the band that played before them, Cheap Trick. I stayed for KISS, though. While not a fan, I don't dislike them either.

[@bradpriebe9218]

Kiss was HUGE in their day. They had a fully constructed schtick with the make-up for their characters, who all had a back story. They had a surprisingly good catalogue of music (Detroit Rock City is likely their best known song) that sort of straddled the line between harder rock and glam. But their biggest impact would likely be their genius marketing strategy. They called their fanclub the KISS Army and interacted in a way that virtually no one had before. They also licensed their name/likeness for almost any and everything to an extent never thought of (everything from Pat he's to see in a jacket to lunchboxes to a coffin....yes, an actual coffin). While their lineup did change several times, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have always been the core of the band.

[@orionexplorer]

I'll disagree about Detroit Rock City. The song that was on the radio all the time was Rock and Roll All Night. I listened to top 40 in 1975 and later but that song was everywhere. That was their big break out song. In 1976 they won The Peoples Choice Award for being the most popular band that year. They were in a concert when it was announced and that was the song they played on live national TV.

I also had a liking for Gene Simmons (the Demon), but gradually shifted toward Ace, the lead guitarist. The big song from his solo album was a cover of “New York Groove”.
