ScanV1981-1Exclusive Song Premiere: Heat “What Does It Take” Feat. Vinnie Vincent

Heat — an early ’80s West Coast R&B/rock/fusion collective led by bandleader/principal songwriter Tom Saviano — are set to release “Heat Revisited” in Japan on July 17. In advance of the release, KissFAQ has the exclusive online premiere for “What Does it Take,” an infectious up-tempo rock shuffle dusted off from the Heat vaults. Recorded circa 1981, the track features lead guitar by a then-young hotshot guitarist named Vinnie Cusano, who would later be rechristened Vinnie Vincent in KISS.

In conjunction with the premiere, KissFAQ’s Tim McPhate conducted an exclusive interview with Heat bandleader Tom Saviano.

“I thought [Vinnie] played real melodic on this track,” says Saviano. “He played like a studio musician.”
