“I Was Made for Lovin' You” by Kiss

"I Was Made for Lovin' You" is the night Kiss strutted their hard rock straight onto the disco floor, and it came off Dynasty, their seventh studio album, as a single in 1979. Paul Stanley wanted to cut a genuine disco song, and he wrote it with two willing co-conspirators, Desmond Child and producer Vini Poncia. Stanley sings lead and plays guitar beside Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons thumps the bass, and guest drummer Anton Fig sits in behind the kit. Legend has it the band were butting heads with producers who wanted them to go more commercial.

Commercial it was: a hit on the Hot 100, certified gold in America on August 16, 1979, and platinum in several countries. It never left the set list, either: in Melbourne, for the band's 30th anniversary show, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra backed them on it in tuxedos and Kiss makeup.
