DESCRIPTION:
Hot Shot was the name of a popular disco single recorded by American singer Karen Young. The single, which is also the name of her 1978 album, reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart the week of August 5, 1978 & spent two weeks there.

The track also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it only got as far as number 67 that same year. Although this single would make Young a one-hit wonder, "Hot Shot" is still considered by many as a club classic and an Old School radio staple to this day. "Hot Shot" was also featured in the 1990 movie "Reversal of Fortune" and was later used as a sample in Daft Punk's song "Indo Silver Club" on their 1996 album Homework.

In 2007, nearly 30 years after the original charted and 16 years after Young's death (in 1991), MaxRoxx Music released "Hot Shot: The Karen Young Reheat," which is an updated 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 Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at number 7 in March 2008. Also, in 1999, Blondie recorded a cover of the song and included it on the Japanese edition of their album No Exit and "No Exit" single.

Karen Young (March 23, 1951 - January 26, 1991) was an American disco-era singer known for her 1978 hit record, Hot Shot. Young grew up in a Northeast Philadelphia rowhouse. She began as a singer of jingles and background vocals for Philadelphia-based production companies. In the early 1970s Young performed with the group Sandd, featuring Frank Gilckin (lead guitar), George Emertz (rhythm guitar), Frank Ferraro (bass guitar) and Dennis Westman (drums).

Whoa oh yeah

And I'm all alone,
And I don't hear no phone
