Gene Simmons spoke exclusively with Newsweek about his recording of «Stormy Weather» for the movie Reagan.
Gene Simmons, in an exclusive interview, told Newsweek about his cover of the Ethel Waters song «Stormy Weather» for the Reagan movie and his high regard for the former president.
«It seemed to me during the scenes where Ronald Reagan was sitting with Jane Wyman at the club, there would probably be music playing in the background», Simmons said. «I was actually thrilled that the producers thought my version of the song would work in the scene.»
He was full of praise Ronald Reagan, calling him a «great American» who will «certainly go down in future generations as one of America’s great presidents.»
«Interestingly, and I suspect the masses didn’t know this about President Reagan, he started off as an actor, joined the Democratic Party, then became disillusioned with the Democratic party, and joined the Republican party», Simmons said.
