Never Forget

Of course we all recall that Carl Douglas rocked the world in 1974 with "Kung Fu Fighting," but what concerns Moveitfred is that we have forgotten that Carl didn't stop giving there. Least we forget, he followed up that chart-topper with even more Kung Fu in 1975:

Dance the Kung Fu!

Pay careful attention to the lyric "Don't fight, Dance the Kung Fu."

Carl was concerned by the outbreak of violent Kung Fu behavior in 1974, especially among the United States and UK youth. Kicks, jabs, chops swept the schoolyards from Pacoima to Putney. The young Moveitfred even fell victim to the hypnotic promise of being "fast as lightning."

But his followup in 1975, Moveitfred believes, was Carl at his best--healing nations. Carl helped us understand that we were not to use Kung Fu to hurt but, instead, to dance.

It was this very week in 1974 when Carl electrified the world with his original hit. Today, Carl is living in Germany where he runs a production company that creates documentary films.

Clearly, Carl is still making a difference.

Moveitfred asks that you remember Carl this week.
