Summary
This week, another musical superstar on Rockonteurs as Guy and Gary meet co-founder and songwriter with Kiss, Paul Stanley. Kiss are simply huge, they are one of the best-selling bands of all time, their tours continue to rank among the highest grossing on the planet, and they hold the title as America’s all time No.1 Gold record award-winning group! But away from the instantly recognisable Starchild costumes, make up and persona, Paul Stanley is a huge fan of soul, Motown and Philly soul. His new album ‘Now and Then’ is a collection of classic covers and original songs that sit beautifully amongst their peers.
He’s also a charming man and we're delighted he’s joining us this week on the podcast.
