Profile:
George Peter John Criscuola (born December 20, 1945, Brooklyn New York. Better known by his stage name Peter Criss, is a retired American musician and actor, best known as a co-founder, original drummer, and occasional vocalist of the hard rock band Kiss. Criss established the "Catman" character for his Kiss persona.

In the mid 1980s, Peter Criss played around Los Angeles in a band called Balls of Fire with John (JP) Pakalenka, Jane Booke and Bob Raylove (2).
After that, Criss and onetime Kiss guitarist Mark St. John formed a new band called the Keep, along with one-time Black Sabbath vocalist David Donato and St. John’s brother Michael Norton on bass.

In the first half of the 1990s, Criss formed a band under his own name "Criss" with musicians Ray Carrion (2), Mark Montague and Phil Naro. Later members included Philip Bardowell, Kirk Miller, Mike Stone (5), Jason Ebs & Fuzzy Logic and Mike McLaughlin. Criss toured extensively and released an EP and an album.

In 2014, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Kiss.

According to this site Criss recorded, with the band Sounds of Soul, an EP @ Gotham Recording Corporation on 2 West 42nd St. consisting of: “Since I Fell For You” “My Girl” & “Respect” in 1967. Criss sang lead on the last song. Does anyone have it and can post details?
