Gene Simmons
Another musical sensation that took the United States by storm in the 70s, though in quite a different way from Gloria Gaynor, was the rock band KISS. In August 2019 the band’s bassist and lead singer celebrated his 70 birthday, marking almost 30 years since founding the band.
The Israeli-American musician, known by his stage name The Demon, started his musical career in his teens with a not-so-successful band. He later formed KISS in an attempt to form “the ultimate rock band,” and that’s exactly what the band was at its peak.
