Dynamite by Karen Young

Producer Andy Kahn told in an interview that success made Karen 'unmanageable' and difficult to work with. A new recording Rendezvous With Me was attempted towards the end of 1979 but was never finished because the relationship ran sour. Instead Karen started working with his brother Walter Kahn. Signing with his Sunshine Recordings label, her first single was a rendition of God Bless America, an unlikely choice considering her disco fame, and unsurprisingly it was not a hit. An album of pop/rock sides was shelved in favor of the dance track Dynamite, released late 1981, and seeing her have a modest disco hit when it reached #69 in the dance charts. Detour on Atlantic fared better at #34 in 1982, but none of the following singles, scattered on various labels, did particularly well. After 1987's double A-side Change In Me/Eye On You, she had no new recordings, and sadly in January 1991, just two months before her 40th birthday, she passed away unexpectedly from a bleeding ulcer.
