Bobby Rydell (born Robert Louis Ridarelli, 26 April 1942, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)[1] is an American professional singer, mainly of rock and roll music. During the early 1960s he was considered a so-called "teen idol". According to Allmusic music journalist Kim Summers, Rydell, whose interest in show business began at the age of four years, "is one of the most sought-after nightclub and concert acts in the US. His performance in Bye Bye Birdie and his recordings "Wild One" and "Volare" made him a famous performer in the 1960s. Rydell used his talents as an impersonator and drummer mostly in pursuing a musical rather than an acting career".
I love both versions, the original and KISS's :)

I just went and listened to Kiss version of this song. And in my opinion they butchered this wonderful old song... But to each his own. I'm old school and kiss is not for me.
