WATCH: Wonder Woman meets KISS! Lynda Carter performs “I Was Made for Loving You” on 1980 TV Special

Does it get any weirder than this? The very talented Lynda Carter (aka TV’s “Wonder Woman”) had her own TV special back in 1980 and segment of it was her “Rock and Roll Fantasy.” Among the songs she did was KISS’ smash, “I Was Made for Loving You.” Not willing to just give her own interpretation to the song, Carter dressed up like a Vegas showgirls/spider in a web and…

Wow! An early performance, about six months before the band really exploded on the scene with release of “KISS Alive!” in the fall of 1975.

But it was a start and, as you can see–well sorta see–from this grainy video that they…

As many fans already know, Detroit’s Cobo Hall was the venue where rockers KISS recorded part of their landscape-changing Alive! album which made them an instant, if not uncontrollable, new force on the music scene. Alive! was released on Sept. 10, 1975 as a double album and included live versions of tracks from KISS’s first three studio albums. Our friends at AllMusic.com describes Alive! as “one of the greatest live…

Watching this video, it appears the band came out for an encore for the song, which Paul Stanley promptly tells the crowd that it was written IN Detroit, FOR Detroit.
