Gene Simmons is a 1978 solo album from the bass player of American hard rock band Kiss. It was one of four solo albums released by the members of Kiss on September 18, 1978. The other albums were released by Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss. The album reached #22 on the US Billboard album chart, making it the highest placing of all the four "Kiss" solos of 1978.

Simmons re-recorded "See You In Your Dreams" because he reportedly wasn't happy with the way it was recorded on Rock and Roll Over. ^[1]
