I must say, I basically forgotten about this song and I enjoyed hearing it again. Not a masterpiece but so what. Some nice chord progressions and his voice fit well. A lot better than many of those teenage songs written around their curiosities of sex. Tacky as hell. ( Maybe due to the fact that I haven't been a teenager since the late '70's. Lol )
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
Was thinking the same listening here, the similarities of Peter and Rod Stewart. Wasn't listening too closely but seemed also to have very similar chord progressions as maybe Maggie May..???...
Peter was always the best dressed/the coolest looking guy in KISS! Peter looked like A STAR! I ❤ the voices of Peter Criss & Rod Stewart. Peter's voice is a little deeper, stronger & raspier than Rod's. Peter's cool, natural silver/grey, Italian curls & Rod's British, "pineapple"/"rooster"/ "shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
Pues tiene la voz parecida A Jhon Fogerty pero Fogerty 1000 veces mejor para mi es el mejor vocalista junto von Paul Stanley q tb muy do de pecho pero dulce que la hace q me guste más q Fogerty. Peter tb me gusta du voz esq me gustan muchísimos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
Peter (and KISS) were helped by the fact that Rod Stewart was at his absolute peak when 'Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman" were released, so they fit right into the Top 40 playlists sounding so much like Stewart's style.
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤
I always felt so sorry for Ace and Peter. Their have fun additude. A free spirit. I almost died several times between 1976 and 1978. But, I had so many great experiences's and meet so many interesting people, from the most famous, to the people who you never ever heard of. And, I was so much impressed with the skills that they use to not only to servive, be
Almost hard to believe KISS' two biggest hits are ballads by Peter.
Most underrated song from its period. Truly classic awesome song from start to finish.
It was the hit of that album.
@@jacquesfinster5034 People don't know what underrated means. :) This wasn't underrated at all.

For whatever reason, they never played it live back then. The version from Alive II was done at a soundcheck.
Agree!
I’m absolutely in love with the way he jerks his head back and forth with the beat. Idc how old he is, I’ll always love this man. 🫠🫠🫠🫠❤❤❤❤❤
I love him ( Peter Criss ) is so cute ❤
It's called "head bangin".
He's 78 years old.
The Catman and Rod Stewart are definitely brothers from another mother.
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
He sounds much better than odd Stewart
Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
An absolute classic and Ace and Peter still play it together now
I saw a vídeo of them performing this together recently ❤
I saw them in 77 at MSG. This is so classic and brings back great memories of a great time.
Friday night, February 18!
@@johnnylombardi8384my first concert
Saw them in August of '77 in Seattle. My first concert at 15.
Love catman, that gritty voice gets me everytime
I love this video, long live ORIGINAL KISS!!
👍
Sounds like he was singing it for wife Debra...married 1979 ?
Peter has a good raspy tone ! Underrated gem
"Gem" may be pushing it lol
Good thing they kept it for themselves. Easy going rhythm that I can listen to over and over again. Simple is beautiful.
Nothing beats the original Catman!!! 🐱⚡️
I really like Eric Carr but Peter Criss was best. Original.
@@dennisb-trains23Eric was my first tattoo ❤ I have his japonese signal on my wrist
@@dennisb-trains23I love Eric too, but Peter was great!
Laviano is the greatest Catman! Anyone who says different is making a fool of themselves.
@@cooltunes708 might want to pull your head back out of your ass......Peter was the best
Peter was a star, voice, charm, charisma, stage presence.
Awesome! Thank you, Peter!
I love his husky voice!
I agree his voice-the best of all.
Great hair!
I was just thinking exactly that
Peter Criss is always a man he knew how to entertain us Peter Chris you live forever yes you will
The best kiss singer
One of the best Songs of all Time! Peter rocks! ♥
I could listen to this song and nothing to lose all day long.
It's incredible that Paul who wrote the song let Peter sing it considering all the friction between Paul & Peter.
That is interesting...Paul could have done the vocals...Not as well, though.
You bet not as well, he has sung it in concert…Peter’s voice is really nice, raspy and sweet!! Love Ace & Peter!
I tend to think its because Petes voice is really similar to Rod Stewart and Rod was pretty big back then.
Paul knew Peter had the voice for the song just like he knew god of thunder was perfect for Gene.
Was thinking the same listening here, the similarities of Peter and Rod Stewart. Wasn't listening too closely but seemed also to have very similar chord progressions as maybe Maggie May..???...
Still love this song
Peter was always the best dressed/the coolest looking guy in KISS! Peter looked like A STAR!

"shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
Best shag haircut on PC...love it 🌟
This is the only KISS song I love!
I love this song always have and always will ❤ Peter sings it fabulously
I used to hear this on the radio all the time and never had any idea it was KISS. It sounds more like a Rod Stewart song or something.
That's such a beautiful song.
He sang well for a Kitty Cat! 🐱 🐈 . It’s not just the usual Meows! 😂They rewarded him with a Saucer of Milk! 🤣
Always love Peter Criss, and his performance,😊😊
He can play drums and sing at the same time!
O. WOW.!!!!!!!!!¡ PURE CORN EATER 🌽
@@gregbaldwin5144That many, eh !?…
Magic
Brilliant
Just love this song ❤️
One of my favorite Kiss songs!
I see the first time that dramming with singing . This is one of the great hit songs in KISS and rare video clip.
He's one talented "Cat!"
lol. I had a cat ("Josie") who could have pulled this off.
These are the type of Kiss’ songs I love. The slow and melodic ones. They had a knack for this type of songs.
I remember that song is incredible
One of my favorite KISS songs
Peter Cris e sua voz rouca e linda!!!!!❤❤❤❤
He is so cute in his makeup
Are most people? Lol
Gran Peter Criss. Yo cuando los conocí, con 15 años, me impresionaron. Lo pase mal cuando se separaron. Pero larga vida a KISS.🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love this song
Una balada muy al estilo de Peter Criss exelente canción y el video muy de los 70s
My most favorite KISS tune. Second favorite... shout it out loud. Alive II.
I was 8 years old in 1977 ( turned 9 late ) and a member of the KISS Army thanks to my older brother who was 13.
My Favorite kiss song ever!
Muita saudade desta época onde o Kiss tinha tanta força, porém ainda tem renome na fama.
Peter had One Of The Best Songs of the Band
Luv it reminds me of my childhood - Nener never land - A world away
Amen Jim!
A música do Kiss mais linda 😍😍😍😍
Verdade
Que perron canta,nunca lo habia escuchado!!!aunque me fascina la voz de mi amorsote Stanley Bert Eisen,osea Paul Stanley!!!
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
No other voice like his!
Now this Mr Peter badass Cat Criss no one absolutely no one can compare to u Brother
Favorite Kiss song is Love Gun, second is Hard Luck Woman.
Uff Excelente
Always have love this song. I love the way Peter sings it. But paul can sing it to
Memories of a ten year old me grabbing two pencils and doing my Criss impression to this tune..
nunca escuche una voz mas genial
Pues tiene la voz parecida A Jhon Fogerty pero Fogerty 1000 veces mejor para mi es el mejor vocalista junto von Paul Stanley q tb muy do de pecho pero dulce que la hace q me guste más q Fogerty. Peter tb me gusta du voz esq me gustan muchísimos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Kiss was awesome in there on way❤❤
Peter was the best singer in the band
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
awesome
Сильнейшие рокеры суперская группа рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍

Awsome Song
Good tune 👌
My opinion he had the best of kiss 😘
Song reminds me of a You Wear It Well vibe by Rod Stewart.
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
That was so good😁
It ain’t KISS without Peter and Ace
KISS is KISS with or without them.
@@quentinwade8506 if that's so then it could be kiss without gene and paul
Peter and Ace were Kiss, don't kid yourself!!!!!
Полностью согласен
They can call it whatever they want, but without Ace and Peter, I'm not listening.
This is the real KISS
Best Video ever 🥁🤘
This came out right after my daughter was born 🎉🎉🎉
Written by Paul to pitch to Rod Stewart, Rod snubbed it (as he ALREADY recorded “ Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”), and the rest is KISStory!..
This takes me back ❤
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤
Happy birthday Peter. Too bad Gene and Paul give you lots of hard luck.
Awesome song 😊
First the Faces, then KISS. You rock Rod!😏
Peter did a great job on this song and Beth this song beat is a lot like Maggie May
Paul Stanley wrote it in hopes Rod Stewart would record it. Glad he didn't.
Kiss Axel
Siiii

Forever KISS!!!
Best Kiss song ever!!!!!❤
Man...i love this song. I glad Rod Stewart didn't want this song! But a i like Rod to...
Peter Criss sings better then all the other kiss members..
He does. Just heard him sing this from this year. Sounds like he did 45 years ago.
Ace is 2nd best.
Exactly, by far 👏!!! He has a amazing voice, soulful and powerful!!!
That’s why gene and Paul outed him , they were jealous, that’s my opinion and of Ace too , now their singing to recorded tracks 😮
Truth
Uma das melhores do kiss💋
I love this song so much 😸
I saw them in February of 77 at the Garden hoping they would do the song. No such luck.
Comme j aime cette chanson 🥰😌🥰🇫🇷🙏🎵🎵🎵💐
Hermoso año !!!!naci yo !
Peter and Ace should have sung most of Kiss's songs.
Love this song memories
Peter Criss was the Voice ! Best EVER ❤️
Funny how pauls playing lead and ace is playing rhythm.
love how ace and Paul share that double neck. Wonder where that guit is today?
Its funny that the best singer in Kiss wasn't even considered the lead singer
Bill Acouin , their manager, he probably sold it among other items to feed his cocaine habit.
Ya know it's funny....Paul and Gene are the front men yet I love to listen to Peter sing more than BOTH of them combined
Tu est un grand percussionniste et tu chantes si etic❤🎉
This song is the same year I was born I love it😊
The golden age of Kiss! Back when they had superhero status...
