It was, of course, "Kung Fu Fighting." Douglas' tongue-in-cheek kung fu classic was a swift seller, rising to the very top of the music charts, ultimately selling over nine million copies worldwide. When Douglas' A&R man, Robin Blanchflower, heard it, he promptly insisted that it become the A-side. The B-side, on the other hand, was cut in just ten minutes at the end of the session. Late the following year, he was introduced to the transplanted Jamaican singer Carl Douglas, who recruited the visionary Biddu to record his next 45, a lush Larry Weiss ballad, "I Want to Give You My Everything". However, 1972 saw Biddu score Embassy, a film starring Richard Roundtree. The song didn't do anything, a fate that would await several other early releases, 1971's "Hey! What's Wrong with England" for DJM among them. He worked for a time as a chef for the American Embassy and then, with pounds in hand, he rented studio time and recorded his debut single.
As an immigrant landing in London in the late 1960s, however, Biddu soon discovered that, in order to open the doors he wished to, he'd have to save money. The first east Indian producer to be showered with a cascade of accolades and high praise outside his home country, and then to become the guru of Hindi-pop back inside it, the singularly named Biddu worked for years in his homeland, both within the music industry (he was a member of a Rolling Stones-ish pop group) and without, before he decamped to England to seriously pursue his musical ambitions.
