Paul Stanley (1978) Take Me Away (Together as One)

 Once upon a time disco and punk were at their peak popularity and a raucous rock band git the idea to release four solo albums on the same day while all still together.  The year was 1978, the band was Kiss and it all happened. Lead singer Paul Stanley's was said the least diverse and the closest to Kiss usual material, power chord party rock. It featured classic kiss material such as It's Alright and saccharine ballads such as Hold Me, Touch Me.

 Including some of Zeppelins light and shade as he did in Black Diamond, Stanley's ballad from his 78 solo effort had a haunting effect complete with hushed vocals and a hard rocking solo, it was an epic rocker that showcased Stanley delicate song-writing married with his hard rock chops and was worthy of Kiss' s best tracks.
