Video Valentine: Could it be I'm Falling in Love (2016)

 After more than 40 years of rocking out with KISS, Paul Stanley decided to try something different.

He reached back to his youth, and his love of soul music. The end result was Paul Stanley's Soul Station, and five years ago this month, at a live show in Pasadena, Soul Station served up a tasty cover of the Spinners' "Could it be I'm Falling in Love".


A commentator on YouTube noted that Gene Simmons is a Beatles fan, and original KISS drummer Peter Criss is a fan of big bands & jazz, so it fits.

While Pat Boone was rightfully mocked for trying to rework Metallica's "Enter Sandman" to fit his singing style a few years back, there's no problem with Stanley doing some Philly soul.
