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 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 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. He is also in the process of recording new material to release.^{[citation needed]}

During the OJ Simpson trail, there was a rumour that a lawyer assisting procecutor Marcia Clark named Carl Douglas was the same Carl Douglas that sung " Kung Fu Fighting " , but this rumour was proven false.
