About The Record:

Ring My Bell, by Anita Ward, is a disco classic written by Frederick Knight and produced by Ward’s manager, Chuck Holmes. Originally intended as a teen-oriented track, it was reworked into a sultry disco anthem, featuring Ward’s distinctive vocals and a memorable bell-like synthesizer riff. The song became a massive hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Soul Singles, and Disco Top 80 charts, and topping charts in countries like the UK, Canada, and Spain. Its historical significance lies in its contribution to the disco era’s peak, blending soulful vocals with infectious dance rhythms, though it marked Ward’s only major hit, cementing her as a one-hit wonder. The 12" single format, popular in disco culture, extended the track’s playtime, making it a staple in clubs and a defining track of the late 1970s dance scene.
