CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:Russ Ballard wrote two tracks on Peter Criss' third solo album "let me rock you" from 1982/83-ish....
I listened to Argent's "God gave rock and roll to you"....
I still prefer the 1989 version from KISS with Gene and Paul trading off lines,
KISS' version, incidently, became their biggest worldwide hit reaching top10 in at least a dozen countries...
I had no idea Ballard wrote "new York groove", but ive heard the original....
Ace Frehley took it to another level totally on his 1978 solo album "kiss" IMO...
I stand corrected on the Criss albums CH. Sorry - I had no idea he'd made a good few!
As an Argent fan, of course I'm sticking with them, but as usual, it's all subjective.
