Carl Douglas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Douglas (born 1942) is a Jamaican-born singer, most famous for his song "Kung Fu Fighting", which hit number one on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart in 1974. "Kung Fu Fighting" is acclaimed to be one of the greatest disco tracks of all time. The fame of this homage to martial arts films has overshadowed the rest of the singer's career, resulting in his appearance on cover versions of the song. However, Douglas did release two other hit singles: "Dance The Kung Fu" and "Blue Eyed Soul".
He now resides in Germany where he runs a publishing company that co-ordinates films, documentaries, and advertisements.[specify]
