Karen Young (March 23, 1951-January 26, 1991) was a disco singer best known for her hit "Hot Shot". Young was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She died of a bleeding ulcer.
The song "Hot Shot" peaked at #67 on the Hot 100 in 1978, but spent two weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, thus qualifying Young as a bona fide one-hit wonder.
