Today is Friday the 13th so try not to break any mirrors or walk under any ladders! Our Forgotten 45 at 3:45 today is from 1976 it’s Kiss with “Hard Luck Woman”.

Written by Paul Stanley and inspired by songs like “Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”, he intended to give the tune to Rod Stewart. But fresh off of the success of their ballad “Beth”, the band kept the song and it became their third top 40 hit reaching #15 on the charts. Both hits were sung by drummer Peter Criss.

If you are superstitious, you won’t have to worry about another Friday the 13th until August of 2027! So avoid all black cats and enjoy Kiss with “Hard Luck Woman” it’s today’s Forgotten 45!
