Gene Simmons: “See You Tonite” (1978)
Gene Simmons rocks. Uh, most of the time. Certainly that’s how he made his bones with his full time band.
But this Beatlesque nugget, like much of his 1978 eponomous solo album, must have taken fans a bit by surprise. “See You Tonite” brings to mind early Badfinger, or the Raspberries in one of their quieter moments. Strings and sweet harmonies from Dr. Love? Who’da thought?
