How Can We Help?
One for All is the fifth and final solo studio album by former Kiss drummer and vocalist Peter Criss, released through Megaforce Records on July 23, 2007. It reached #36 on the Billboard Top Independent Album list.[1] A special hand-signed gold label version was released that day at Best Buy stores in limited quantities.[2]
In his autobiography, Makeup to Breakup: My Life In and Out of Kiss, Criss mentioned that the song "Space Ace" was written about his Kiss bandmate Ace Frehley.[3] He wrote, "I even wrote a song about Ace for the album, "Space Ace". You might think it was a tribute, but I was really writing about Ace’s betrayal of me."[4]
