This signed sheet music is for New York Groove by Ace Frehley, autographed by the legendary KISS guitarist himself. Originally written by Russ Ballard and first recorded by the British glam band Hello in 1975, New York Groove was reimagined by Ace Frehley for his 1978 solo album—one of the four individual KISS solo records released simultaneously. Frehley’s version turned the track into a hard-rocking anthem, infused with swagger, attitude, and his distinctive guitar style. The song became a major success, climbing to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the most commercially successful single from any of the four KISS solo albums. With its stomping beat and streetwise lyrics, New York Groove became Frehley’s signature song outside of KISS and a staple of his solo concerts. Ace Frehley (born 1951), famously known as “The Spaceman,” was a founding member of KISS and is celebrated for his melodic guitar solos, flashy stage persona, and major role in shaping the band’s classic 1970s sound. His contributions to songs like Cold Gin, Shock Me, and Detroit Rock City helped define the band’s heavy, riff-driven style. Stepping into the spotlight with New York Groove, Frehley showed his ability to craft a hit beyond KISS, cementing his reputation as both a guitarist and performer. Even decades later, the song is synonymous with his career and remains an anthem for fans in New York and beyond. Owning this signed sheet music for New York Groove is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of rock history tied to Ace Frehley’s breakout solo success and one of the most enduring tracks associated with KISS’s legacy. For fans of KISS, admirers of Frehley’s guitar prowess, and collectors of hard rock memorabilia, this artifact captures the energy and swagger of a timeless anthem.
