Paul Stanley Picks the Most Iconic Opening Lyric in Music

Episode: Paul Stanley — Motown Roots Behind a Glam-Rock Icon Paul Stanley revisits the DNA behind “I Was Made for Lovin’ You”—a glam anthem whose pulse traces back to Motown, from the Four Tops’ call-and-response to the magnetic opening lines of The Spinners’ “I’ll Be Around.” He recalls witnessing Solomon Burke and Otis Redding up close, how soul storytelling shaped his pen, and why the first line can hook a lifetime. We unpack how Kiss’s “Shout It Out Loud” channels that communal shout, and how Soul Station’s album Now and Then celebrates masculinity without bravado—choosing joy, release, and connection. Nostalgia, craft, and the freedom to “forget what you’ve been told.”
