The song was one of the band's few singles to chart in the UK in the 1970s, though only peaking at No. 50, where a 7 min 54 sec version was released on 12" single in addition to the shorter 7" version. The song has become a permanent staple in Kiss's live performances, often differing from the original version. When Eric Carr joined the band in 1980, the song was played in a significantly faster tempo, attributed to Carr's rapid drumming skills.〔(KISS - "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (from Inner Sanctum Australian) )〕 Since the late 1980s, the song has been played with the same tempo as the studio version, but with a more rock-oriented, less disco feel.〔(KISS - "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (Live at the Budokan 1988) )〕 The band's performance of the song at their 30th anniversary show in Melbourne, Australia, was accompanied by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, who wore KISS-style makeup with their tuxedos.〔(KISS - "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (KISS Symphony: Alive IV) )〕 At first Desmond Child said that ''"Paul wanted to write a good disco song and I decided to help him with that. Paul started to write lyrics and chords then I played the song on the guitar and said "OK, we'll do something to improve this and make it really a good song"."'' "I Was Made for Lovin' You" draws heavily from the disco style that was popular in late-1970s United States. Paul Stanley, who co-wrote the song with Desmond Child and Vini Poncia, has stated that it was a conscious effort on his part to prove how easy it was to write and record a hit disco song.〔Leaf, David and Ken Sharp.

As with most of the ''Dynasty'' album, session drummer Anton Fig took the place of Criss, who had been deemed unfit to play by Poncia. There is a bootleg audio recording of the writing sessions for the song in which Stanley mentions Criss' name a couple of times, indicating he was present during the arranging of the song.〔 Stanley plays bass guitar in addition to rhythm guitar while Frehley provided the guitar solo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Was Made for Lovin' You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
