1978 single by Karen Young
“Hot Shot” is a 1978 song written and produced by Andrew Kahn and Kurt Borusiewicz, and recorded by American singer Karen Young. The song was included on her debut studio album of the same name.
“Hot Shot” was released as the lead single from the album and reached number one on the US Billboard disco chart for the week of August 5, 1978 and spent two weeks there. The single also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, where it only got as far as number 67 that same year.[1]
In 2007, nearly 30 years after the original charted and 16 years after Young’s death, MaxRoxx Music released “Hot Shot: The Karen Young Reheat”, which is a revamped version of “Hot Shot”, this time with new mixes using the original’s vocals. This version, which charted as “Hot Shot 2007”, also reached the Dance Club Songs chart, where it peaked at number seven in March 2008.
