martial arts and reggae in the 70's

[jamrock]

Can anyone remember the period in the seventies when a lot of the artists were releasing KUNG FU influenced music. I'm talking to my kids about this period but I can't find any of the music to show them can any one help. I think it was mostly around 1976 - 1977 ish can anyone help?
