KISS Dynasty and Disco - It Left a Wonder Woman-Sized Scar

KISS Goes Disco?! The Truth Behind "I Was Made for Lovin' You" + Lynda Carter’s Wild Tribute 👀

Description:
In this nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep dive, Robert John Hadfield, Gary Casella, and Shelle Crow tackle one of the most controversial moments in KISS history: the Dynasty era and the massive disco hit “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.”

💿 From the Bee Gees comparison to KISS's Vegas costumes, and a shocking 1979 Lynda Carter TV special that featured fake KISS dancers — this video is a goldmine of stories, debate, and rock 'n' roll memories. Robert even reads from a vintage Dynasty newspaper review and reflects on lost KISS merch like lunchboxes and posters.

If you’ve ever cranked up “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” in a Trans Am or debated whether KISS sold out in '79... this one’s for you.
