I grew up with cousins who were very much a member of the KISS army! The albums, the face paint, everything. Decades later we can see the marketing genius of Gene Simmons!
Today’s Forgotten 45 is a song you can hear again on Saturday morning’s American Top 40 from 1977, Kiss with “Hard Luck Woman”. The song peaked this week at #15 on the chart.
The song was written by Paul Stanley for Rod Stewart, but because of the success the band had with the ballad “Beth”, Kiss decided to record it as the follow up hit.
The song was sung by drummer Peter Criss and you can check out the video below.
