CARL DOUGLAS "kung-fu fighting" B/W "gamblin' man" 1974
Carl was pretty much a "one hit wonder" just about everywhere....
the "A" side pays homeage to the likes of Bruce Lee...love that track.
the "B" side could almost be classed as "alt country" or "modern country" nowadays, i love that one also...
IMO, this guy had talent and should have at least had several more hits in his career...
this one peaked at #1 in the UK
here's Carl's short Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Douglas
