Some people reminded the public of Kate’s familial history with music by bringing her famous father Bill Hudson into the mix. “Her father was a singer,” mentioned a Facebooker, while another noted, “Her Dad is one of the Hudson Brothers (who is a singer) she sounds great. I used to watch the Hudson’s [sic].”

As the fans correctly pointed out, Kate’s dad, Bill, who is also an actor, is widely recognized as a musician who used to be a vocalist in a group called The Hudson Brothers.
However, Kate’s father is not the only parent she had to look up to regarding her music journey, as her iconic mother, Goldie Hawn, has created music in the past as well.

While Goldie is best recognized as an actress who has starred in legendary films such as “The First Wives Club,” “Death Becomes Her,” and “The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band,” in 1972, she released a self-titled album, “Goldie,” featuring 11 songs, which are streamable on Spotify.
