‘Ace Frehley’
Casablanca – Sep. 18, 1978
*Ace Frehley – “New York Groove” (Vinyl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXeeY9D9u94 // https://www.discogs.com/release/12059296-Kiss-Ace-Frehley-Ace-Frehley // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Frehley_(album) // ‘Ace Frehley’ is the first solo album by American guitarist and former Kiss member Ace Frehley, released on September 18, 1978, by Casablanca Records. It was one of four albums released by each separate Kiss member as a solo act, but yet still under the Kiss label, coming out alongside Peter Criss, Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons. Ace Frehley contains the cover hit single “New York Groove”, which was originally written by Russ Ballard and recorded by Hello in 1975. The song would prove to be a major hit for Frehley and boosted sales for its parent album. The album would also prove to be the most successful of the four Kiss solo albums.*
