- Carl Douglas, born on May 10, 1942, in Kingston, Jamaica, is a Jamaican-British singer best known for his international hit "Kung Fu Fighting." Released in 1974, this song became an unexpected worldwide sensation and grew into one of the most iconic disco tracks of the seventies. "Kung Fu Fighting" was written by Douglas and produced by Biddu Appaiah. The song, inspired by the popularity of kung fu films at that time with Bruce Lee, was recorded in just ten minutes as the B-side of another single. To everyone's surprise, "Kung Fu Fighting" shot up the charts and reached the number one position in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Over 11 million copies were sold worldwide. Although he released several other tracks, none could match the success of "Kung Fu Fighting." This Toppop recording is from December 7, 1974. At the beginning of the videoclip host Ad Visser and Carl Douglas end up in a kunfu fight. Guess who wins.

One of the best One Hit Wonders of all time. It's almost always used in kung fu or martial arts montages, especially if the participants don't really know how to fight.
