My uncle passed away last night and this was his final Facebook post. This is how I'll choose to remember him for his great taste in music and his sense of humor
@@tombryant5029 just do what Abba did for the voyage. I think KISS is doing the same thing too. They’re making their avatars for themselves I think earth, wind and fire can do the same thing so we can have epic mashup like this to happen in real life.
Both songs were released in May of 1979. This is almost like hearing a radio tuned between stations and picking up both. It also partly explains why they go together so well.
@@bens5661 It was co-written by Desmond Child so that should tell you all you need to know. Imho, the crappiest KISS song to be released and it goes to show how much Disco was manufactured because EWF didn't write their song either. Sorry for the rant but if you want to know where the beginning of the downfall of music was...it was here.
@@Guppusmaximus I know what you mean but I think actually it's one of KISS's most interesting songs because it took them out of their formula. They had been creating albums that were too similar for years as much as I love a lot of their music to death.
@@xAsmodeus161 the animosity there was never about the music disco had too make black and gay people involved, and rock was really popular among the public, so rock just became homophobes’ flagship, but that was just chance. It is of course WAY more complicated than this. It always is. But its a lot like how white suburban parents hate rap. It isn’t that they hate black people, but the lack of empathy in addition to as well as coming from a lack of exposure to the culture, and they say they hate the music, which may be true and they may have good arguments for this, but it still stems from the same place as racism even if its totally unintentional. Disco’s hate was similar.
Can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate how seamlessly Bill blends not only vocals but instruments? The way he mixes guitar solos together is just on another level.
@@snakemasterthorno I'd call it a rock-disco song, not *pure* disco. Way heavier guitar than the typical dance track, but with disco-style vocals and beat. Also no typical strings, brass or synth tricks, either. At any rate, people complained when Kiss combined rock and disco in this song as well
Yeah i see your point. Eventhough, making music to shake your ass on instead of your head makes it pretty much disco to me.😁 And yes, i was among those who complained about the whole disco era of Kiss. Fortunately they came to their senses and produced even better rock songs after their disco era then before. Though i still love some of their oldies. 🤘
And RAP! Think "Walk This Way". I can't help but wish more voices like yours were louder during the so-called "disco sucks" period. Kiss not doubt is classic and authentic rock for real.
My son is only 4 years old and he has 50 years of music experience thanks to Bill McClintock At least a half million views on this video thanks to him.
@@BillMcClintockMashups still waiting on an album by Wild Bill McClintock. Back Again for the 1st time (like Ludacris' named 1st album). Or "Like You've Never Heard It Before"

On the money with this one , if it was given Air Time Prime Time the teens would jump at it , a Gold Mine 4 Sure , the kids of Today are starved of REAL vibe , I have hit it a dozen times and sent it to Nephews , Nieces and mates they've then done the same so you are 100% correct.Hope Bill makes a buck out of it .Cheers from South Oz 👌🇦🇺
They were trapped in our dimension of mediocrity, and decided to gift us with sounds no man was convinced would work. Us being proven wrong had opened the gate to generate music never before heard.
I remember being 11 years old in '79; having been a fan since 5 years old and wondering what happened to KISS? My mother liked the album more than me!! Lol
Rising eyebrow and shaking head, I’ll never understand the point of adding the f-word in the middle of words just like that, pointlessly. So impolite and rude and without a reason.
I love this so much more than other mashup channels. It's not just finding time signatures... It's little things like finding harmony in two different melodies, seeing visual overlaps, precision editing skills, and then making sure the final product actually sounds good throughout - Which means even more precise, judicious editing.
@@TheChadTI I'd argue that DJ Cummerbund easily matches him in skill and creativity, although his mashups tend to become a tad too convoluted at times.
Right, right? Soon as I think the novelty is worn off, Bill McClintock was cute with his style of mashups. I've seen enough to get what he does. I'm out. Thank you Bill, I'm gone. THEN HE DOES THIS. (insert slow hand clap into rousing applause here). And I'm back like I never left, stunned, and awaiting the next one. The guy is a damn wizard!
What a missed opportunity. Can you imagine Earth, Wind and Fire opening for KISS and a special collaboration on this song together live? It would have been epic in 1979-1980!.😁
Damn!!! That was so flawless, that I can barely separate the two original songs. What an awesome blend of Soul and Rock; As an OG from back in the day, this effort is very much appreciated
Well Kiss just wanted to ride the disco wave and set out to make a disco song and cash in. Gene Simmons hated the song because singing like that is not tough and cool and demon like to cringe lords like him. It's no coincidence that they mix well, Kiss explicitly wanted to make such a song for commercial reasons. As the make up might give away, they were real clowns, grown ups dressing up and thinking it makes them look tough, not dorky.
I started to watch this as a joke but that guy from Earth Wind and Fire has one of the absolute best singing voices I've ever heard. Now I'm definitely going down a rabbit hole.
I Was Made For Loving You is most assuredly NOT a disco tune. The Greasy Disco Bastards were just trying to steal another rock tune for their perverted, unholy uses. Boogie Wonderland? *TOTALLY* disco. Totally.
@@Boppinabeit was though, Gene Simmons was dared to write a disco song after he claimed it was so easy anyone could do it and he wrote I Was Made For Loving You in, like, half an hour. Despite being a beloved part of their discography now, at the time, their fans thought they were selling out to Disco Fever when it was released and it was their least popular song at the time. They ended up rerecording it in the late eightes/early nineties and gave it more of a rock sound.
@@Boppinabe and yet Paul wrote in his book that after a night at Studio 54, he was of the opinion that he could easily write a 126bpm (disco) song. It's just a fact. And it worked. KISS was always about evolving and exploring ways to stay relevant to the music industry, no matter what the current state of the industry was. Just because they had an album with disco overtones doesn't mean they had become a disco band, any more than the album (Music from) The Elder meant that they were going to turn into Pink Floyd with facepaint. It was just an experiment. Granted, both albums threw curve balls to a LOT of KISS fans (myself included)....but it was just KISS being KISS. They survived, we (the fans) survived....no harm done. 😎
@@PoorBoyProductions660 it wasn't Gene. IWMFLY was co-written by Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia & Desmond Child. Paul came up with the idea after a night out at Studio 54. 😎
Wow, this actually works extremely well together and wow, I now recognize the additional solo as being from that Wild Cherry song "Play That Funky Music", and it works seemlessly with this mash up, like it was meant to be there the entire time. This is seriously Godzilla levels of badassery here. Great stuff, definitely worth another listen or three.
@@jgsrhythm100 aye, he integrated it all seemlessly, that's what makes this such an awesome mash up. It just works so well, he truly has a knack for making magic with this.
Bill, seriously, this is amazing. I can tell by the way you mix that you hear music the same way I do. I've spent 38 years searching for someone that gets it, and you, Sir, get it. Thank you for bringing light and hope to a lonely music soul.
As a kid in the 70s I did things like this in my head and thought I invented the genre because they never played that on the radio. Today people like you bring those ideas to life. 🎉
We respond to good music no matter what it is. And when you do what Mr. McClintock does with music...we have no choice but to respond well to it ;) That man is a Wizard that has came to save the world.
I am a former radio jock for a defunked station in Dayton, Ohio. I have never heard anything as amazing as this. This kicks anything ass even Ultimixx has done over the years. I am gonna rock this at my disco gig this weekend.
As usual, another flawless but eccentric McClintock mash-up.... One thing that this masterpiece finally addresses is the fact that "I Was Made for Loving You" always needed a longer guitar solo👍
@@md6119 Yes, you are correct. Forgot that album was a mish mash. Basically gene and paul with studio musicians. So in essence, Ace got 0 seconds on that one.
I’m not trying to be a buzzkill, but the songs actually don’t go together. There’s been significant pitch alteration to make them match better, and after looking I suspect tempo adjustments too.
Literally the Best Mashup EVER MADE, it looks and SOUNDS like KISS actually did a Colab with the other Group, it has a very, but A VERY nice organization.
I am WOW. LOVE IT for the SEAMLESSNESS & PERFECT TIMING. Back in the 1970s I lived Upstairs from a white family, in Buffalo, NY. Me & the sons was around the same age & attended the same grade school. We had many arguments about My love of Disco, Soul, R&B, Etc. and their Love of Rock especially KISS. They tried to Clown Me for My _"Nggrr Music."_ I never clowned them. This was the one song I liked by Kiss, plus a few more. I heard them playing this song by Kiss/other Rock records daily. I wonder if they'll ever come across this BOMB ASS BLEND.
It's the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm seeing this for the second time since a child back in the early 70's ❤ Those was the good ole days, it was at my grandparents house when I first seen it❤ Thanks for the memories...@12:30pm(11-29-24)
I've been listening to your mashups for a while and have to appreciate how you make the mashup sound like an actual song and not just the sum of its parts. The little ad libs by Paul Stanley around 3:49 are a nice touch
As much as I admire Bill’s ability to mash music well its really the comedic timing of the music/video editing that has me equally, dancing, singing along/laughing so happily. Another gem. Bravo!
This could be easily the greatest mix ever made. Seamless, flowless and utterly nostalgic. I was immediately transferred 44 years back in time. Great!!!
When this popped up on my “recommended” list I thought no way could this work… but oh good lord it does. And that “ooh hey” at 3:10 sounds like it was lifted from “Play That Funky Music.” So freakin’ good!
Alright, so I come across this at work and I'm like "Damn this it awesome!" So I had it on loop for a while, but I was kinda getting into it, y'know...Eyes closed and swaying lol. So my manager comes up and asks what I'm doing, so I let her listen...Safe to say, a bunch of us who worked in the back were just having a good time with this.
Man, hats off. Not just for the audio, but also the effort you put in making the visuals match up to the rhythm! Down to knie jerks and hand claps. Awesome.
A few with a good internal music library (those that are able to hum/sing a song by the mentioning of it's title) with a wide enough variety to have all the featured songs in it will at least hesitate for a brief moment and raise an eyebrow while starting to dance. And enjoy this masterpiece with a broad grin on their face, acknowledging new developments with a little nod of the head.
An instant classic. Every time I hear one of Bill's mashups I am amazed. I think "He can't possibly make a better song than this" then when the next one comes out, it is fantastic and I am blown away. Seriously, amazing. So glad you make these Bill. Great stuff. Making the world a better place, one mashup at a time.
Awesome combination of two super bands. My wife and I love both groups and were blown away how seamlessly this music was put together. Would have paid top dollar back in the day to see this actually performed live. Great job Bill!
This was amazing. So well done. And I especially love it because these are literally the first two bands I ever saw live in concert. Kiss on the Dynasty Tour 11/79 and Earth Wind and Fire on the Raise Tour 12/81. And both at the same arena no less.

This is not a mashup, this is no less than a piece of art. I am blown away by it's magnificence. Well done, Bill!
agreed!!!
so true
Más que exelente en verdad la imaginación en todo su esplendor
I've listened to this so many times that these two songs now feel incomplete without the other.
I love that there are so many Kiss fans that love EWF as well! this was an awesome mash! look forward to hearing many more!
Y'know what I think its funny is that gene Simmons and Diana Ross basically did this genre in like 1978 or 1980... ehh.. 🙄
We respond to good music no matter what it is.
And when you do what Mr. McClintock does with music...we have no choice but to respond well to it ;)
That man is a Wizard that has came to save the world.
Me!
@@spookytaco666 ...me as well
Any Kiss fan who can't dig Earth Wind and Flame is a fraud. They are at the show for the fireworks and spitting blood...
The addition of the guitar riff from Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" was a nice touch.
That was amazing how well it fit.
I screamed when that hit!!
“I Was Made To Play That Funky Music In Boogie Wonderland.” Outstanding job by the one and only Bill McClintock.
I am a former radio jock for a defunked station in Dayton, Ohio. I have never heard anything as amazing as this. This kicks anything ass even Ultimixx has done over the years. I am gonna rock this at my disco gig this weekend.
This is the best mashup around! It's not just a mashup, it's a blending of two songs together. True mastery of an art form right here.
Well that's what you call a mashup...
'It's not just a Reese's, it's a masterful blend of chocolate and peanut butter.'
Thats what a mashup is...
Still the best

Excellent fusion of two songs
Another mashup, another masterpiece, we can't get enough indeed!
You made the KISS disco song into the ULTIMATE DISCO SONG!!!!!!
This is the most incredible thing I've seen in the last 15 minutes!
As usual, another flawless but eccentric McClintock mash-up.... One thing that this masterpiece finally addresses is the fact that "I Was Made for Loving You" always needed a longer guitar solo👍
At this point in their career, 8 seconds was all the time they would give Ace.
I always dug the punctuality of that Ace machine gun burst solo!
@@Meyzen76 ...and it's not ace playing the solo...
Ace played Guitar only in his songs on the dynasty album
@@md6119 Yes, you are correct. Forgot that album was a mish mash. Basically gene and paul with studio musicians. So in essence, Ace got 0 seconds on that one.
Just exposes how much Soul Kiss had in this Disco mega hit that the real Kiss fans hate.
@leokimvideo. So those who like this song aren’t real Kiss fans? Nonsense!
Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought 😅
I'm definitely a real kiss fan, my kids love kiss, we fucking love this song
Only music-hating image-obsessed genre turds would hate a song like that.
Peut être... Mais c'est leur plus gros tube !
Both of those songs match up perfectly the lyrics the beat including the verses all sound like they were made for each other
They were meant for for loving eachother
I’m not trying to be a buzzkill, but the songs actually don’t go together. There’s been significant pitch alteration to make them match better, and after looking I suspect tempo adjustments too.
This is a genuinely insane mashup and I’m scared how well they work together
just when i was picking up the pieces of my brain, the Wild Cherry solo wiped the floor clean. So good.
Literally the Best Mashup EVER MADE, it looks and SOUNDS like KISS actually did a Colab with the other Group, it has a very, but A VERY nice organization.
The other Group is Earth, Wind, and Fire.
This is so good it took me a few replays to figure out that the two bands never appeared together on the same stage.
I am WOW. LOVE IT for the SEAMLESSNESS & PERFECT TIMING.
Back in the 1970s I lived Upstairs from a white family, in Buffalo, NY. Me & the sons was around the same age & attended the same grade school. We had many arguments about My love of Disco, Soul, R&B, Etc. and their Love of Rock especially KISS.
They tried to Clown Me for My _"Nggrr Music."_ I never clowned them. This was the one song I liked by Kiss, plus a few more. I heard them playing this song by Kiss/other Rock records daily.
I wonder if they'll ever come across this BOMB ASS BLEND.
It's the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm seeing this for the second time since a child back in the early 70's ❤
Those was the good ole days, it was at my grandparents house when I first seen it❤
Thanks for the memories...@12:30pm(11-29-24)
I've been listening to your mashups for a while and have to appreciate how you make the mashup sound like an actual song and not just the sum of its parts. The little ad libs by Paul Stanley around 3:49 are a nice touch
YOU KNOW HE TAKES A LOT OF TIME ON THESE.
You know when it is that good, when you completely forget the original songs and think, wait a minute...this was a hit in the 70".
As much as I admire Bill’s ability to mash music well its really the comedic timing of the music/video editing that has me equally, dancing, singing along/laughing so happily. Another gem. Bravo!
the whole is a masterpiece
Why does it fit so well ?! This mashup feel so unreal because it's perfect !
It's not mash up, it's "audio-visual-song-alchemy"! And I'm absolutely here for it!
The two halves of my brain coming together wonderfully in one song.
So that's what's going on in my brain right now! Thanks for putting it into words!
Once again Bill has shown us again that there is an unexploited genre of music called Heavy Soul. This is the right version of the Kiss song.
Sounds so natural like it was meant to be!!!....
This was made for my wife! She loves both of these bands! Great job!!
if this were released as a single this week it would be #1 all summer long and the world would be a better place
This could be easily the greatest mix ever made. Seamless, flowless and utterly nostalgic. I was immediately transferred 44 years back in time. Great!!!
When this popped up on my “recommended” list I thought no way could this work… but oh good lord it does. And that “ooh hey” at 3:10 sounds like it was lifted from “Play That Funky Music.” So freakin’ good!
This is disco personified! Three of my childhood jams wrapped into one helluva mashup! Thank you so much!
@bubba burdle They were on Casablanca Records, a disco label. They hated doing the album, but the label had been begging them for years.
What kind of video editing wizardry is this?!?!?
The best kind. Been enjoying this man's mixup for years.
Bill took his mixing board down to the crossroads at midnight and the rest is history
That would have been a hell of a stage show.
Alright, so I come across this at work and I'm like "Damn this it awesome!" So I had it on loop for a while, but I was kinda getting into it, y'know...Eyes closed and swaying lol. So my manager comes up and asks what I'm doing, so I let her listen...Safe to say, a bunch of us who worked in the back were just having a good time with this.
How do you not have over a million followers. All of your mashups are genius. This is a chef's kiss.
No, it's a chef's KISS 👄
Man, hats off. Not just for the audio, but also the effort you put in making the visuals match up to the rhythm! Down to knie jerks and hand claps. Awesome.
...and for giving most of the rock solo to the disco guy.
@@dahawk8574 hahahah, true!
It took me a moment to realize both bands were not on the stage together.
This is a masterpiece. One of the best mashups ever.
Really and it is hard to making a mashup about two so different songs
this could quite possibly be the greatest thing my ears have ever heard, thank you.
If you played this in room filled with people who grew up with these bands I doubt a single person would recognize the mashup. This is greatness🤘🏽
They’d definitely be dancing
A few with a good internal music library (those that are able to hum/sing a song by the mentioning of it's title) with a wide enough variety to have all the featured songs in it will at least hesitate for a brief moment and raise an eyebrow while starting to dance. And enjoy this masterpiece with a broad grin on their face, acknowledging new developments with a little nod of the head.
It blends so well together, you thought these two bands collaborated in the studio itself.
I tried to get into this vibe, just cant right now
@@CmeDEW61 and that's ok, it's not for everyone.
Man, I hope Paul & Gene and the owners of Earth ,Wind & Fire see this. This collaboration is amazing!
What music is supposed to be-fun! Have a good time everyone!
Does he know?
An instant classic. Every time I hear one of Bill's mashups I am amazed. I think "He can't possibly make a better song than this" then when the next one comes out, it is fantastic and I am blown away. Seriously, amazing. So glad you make these Bill. Great stuff. Making the world a better place, one mashup at a time.
🔨nailed it
This video always makes me smile when I come across it. Bravo!
seriously, dude: a licensed remix-mashup LP by bill mcclintock with soul metal WHEN?! I'd buy a vinyl of this any day.
Awesome combination of two super bands. My wife and I love both groups and were blown away how seamlessly this music was put together. Would have paid top dollar back in the day to see this actually performed live. Great job Bill!
Al McKay's and Ace Frehley's guitar solos are worth the price of admission alone. Both song came out around the same time, too!
You know when a mashup is so good that all you can do is say “yes” as it continues
In a parallel universe, this footage is from the Kissing the Earth, Wind & Fire supertour.
i'm sorry but paul stanely's vocals sound so AI generated
@@Siromuse_2 Overused critique, usually used when it doesn’t sound AI at all. Similar to now.
@@thefilmschlock it does tho. Compare this to the original studio recording of I was made for lovin you. You’ll notice how unnatural this one sounds
@@Siromuse_2 I can promise you it doesn’t. They sound the exact same
Bill, around the 2:47 mark, this "work" takes a life all in it's own. Magic, sir, beautiful musical magic.
It would have been wonderful if they had done this crossover decades ago!!! IT WAS TOO PERFECT!!! ❤❤❤
Another masterpiece from Bill McClintock to the world.
Much appreciated.
This was amazing. So well done. And I especially love it because these are literally the first two bands I ever saw live in concert. Kiss on the Dynasty Tour 11/79 and Earth Wind and Fire on the Raise Tour 12/81. And both at the same arena no less.
