Now here’s a name you probably haven’t heard in a while:

Carl Douglas

And for the early Gen-X’ers and late Baby Boomers among us…

Do you remember making a complete spectacle of yourself doing kung-fu moves in the living room whenever “Kung-Fu Fighting” came on TV or radio? 😁

I certainly do.

And honestly… thank heavens smartphones with cameras didn’t exist back then 😂

Today Carl Douglas turns 84.

I suspect the moves may be a little harder nowadays.

Happy birthday sir!

I also found a wonderful old TopPop clip where the presenter hands him a gold record for selling 100.000 copies in Holland.

Relative to population size, that probably equals something like 10 million copies in the US 😮

So yes… it was that big 😁
