From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Criss is a 1978 solo album from the drummer of American hard rock band Kiss. It was one of four solo albums released by the members of Kiss on September 18, 1978. The other albums were released by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley.
The album would be the weakest selling of all the Kiss solo albums of 1978, reaching #43 on the US Billboard album chart. On the other hand, it also had the distinction of being the only album of the four to have two singles released from it: "Don't You Let Me Down" and "You Matter to Me".
Criss covered "Tossin' and Turnin'," which was a #1 hit for Bobby Lewis in the US during the summer of 1961. The song was subsequently covered by Kiss on their 1979 tour.
