True, but KISS's downfall was this cheesy disco song (and the ill-fated 'Dynasty' album from which it came- and the solo albums) and made for TV movies like KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. They went from being a cool hard rock band earlier in the decade to being a ****ing gimmick that would do anything for a buck with mostly tweenage fans in the late 70s. It took them a while (a few albums at least) to regain their stature as hard rock icons in the early '80s. Creatures of the Night (1982) was a comeback of sorts and good hard rock/metal album to boot.

Peter only played Dirty Livin' on Dynasty with the rest of that album being a session drummer filling in. He saw what was happening and was the best case of last-in-first-out in music followed quickly by Ace.
Still all pretty rock and roll, but it was a massive dent to the band's reputation which couldn't have gone any higher at the time.
Paved the way for a lot of heavy metal and whatever Bon Jovi, Stryper and Guns'n'Roses are

That was the first KISS album I owned when I was a kid (I already had Gene's solo LP which I loved). I probably listened to it every day when I got home from school circa 1979-1980 but I forget most of the songs by now except "I Was Made For Loving You" and "Charisma".
Double Platinum became my favorite and most listened to KISS album.
