With a discography of chart-topping hits frequently ranked among the “Greatest Rock Songs Of All Time” by publications and fans alike, Stanley’s writing has influenced generations of musicians for over 5 decades.  Stanley is additionally highly recognized for his solo songwriting, including his critically praised solo album Live to Win. His pivotal role in KISS has contributed to 14 multi-platinum and platinum releases, 30 gold records, and the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
