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.”
