CARL DOUGLAS - DANCE THE KUNG FU 1975

Carl Douglas (born 1942) is a Jamaican-born singer, most famous for his song "Kung Fu Fighting", which hit number one on both the US Billboard Chart and the UK Singles Chart in 1974. 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. Douglas released 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.

During the OJ Simpson trial, an attorney assisting prosecutor Marcia Clark named Carl Douglas was rumoured to be singer of "Kung Fu" fame, however proven false.

The follow-up single to "Kung Fu Fighting", "Dance The Kung Fu" charted at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1975. This would be Carl Douglas's second & final chart entry in the U.S.. He wasn't heard from again until several years later, where he moved to Germany & founded a music & film production company which has produced several scores for major movies.

Bravo, Carl Douglas!
