Andrew Kahn (born July 23, 1952 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), frequently credited as Andy Kahn, is a music composer, arranger and producer who was most active in the dance and disco scene in the late 1970s. In 1978, he wrote and produced Karen Young's song, "Hot Shot", for West End Records.[1] The song entered into many of Billboard's sixteen regional Disco Action charts in July, August and September of that year,[2][3] reaching the number one spot in Billboard's national Disco Action Top 40 chart on August 5, 1978 for two weeks. In 2009, Kahn returned to performing solo onstage, presenting a repertoire by American composers from the first half of the 20th century.[4][5][6] In 2016, Andy Kahn became a Steinway Spirio Artist.[7]
