Bingo. Written by Diane Warren, supposedly after she heard James Brolin saying these words to wife Barbara Striesand. sick

Guess it's my turn.

"Back on the Streets" was a Vinnie Vincent tune. But who else recorded it, and how come?

Ace Frehley I think, but I don't know why.

Crap, I forgot about that. I was thinking of John Norum. You see, Göran Edman hd auditioned for Vinnie to become his singer. So he demoed this track to get the gig. When that panned out, and Göran joined John Norum's band instead, they ended up recording the track.

I had no idea about that John Norum answer.

Here's what Ult said on his site about Ace's recording. I knew I read it somewhere...

Quote :: ...let me answer some of the KISS related questions you have on your site - the deal with Ace recording Back On The Streets is that at the time Frehley's Comet started doing that song (in '85), they, as well as Vinnie, were managed by the same person (former KISS road manager George Sewitt), who suggested that FC record the song. It was finally released in a newly-recorded version by the "Comet Band" (which included former members of Frehley's Comet including Ritchie Scarlett and John Regan) on the "Return Of The Comet," an Ace Frehley tribute album in the late 90s

Short for Waboritas (Sammy Hagar's band). The name was shortened to Wabos on the Livin' It Up CD.
