| Anita Ward - Ring My Bell (1979) |
 |
Anita Ward Live at The Soap Factory in New
Jersey, Performing Ring My Bell (1979).
Ring My Bell" is a popular disco song by
Anita Ward. Released in 1979, the song hit
number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Ward's
only major hit. It also reached number one on
the UK Singles Chart.
"Ring My Bell" has been covered by many
artists since its original release, including
DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Tori Amos,
Blood Sisters, Dynamic Duo, D'Flow Production
Squad, Collette, Saïan Supa Crew, INOJ, Pato
Fu and Joey Boy. It has also been remixed
many times over and is considered a disco-era
classic
Before signing a recording contract, Amanda
Moeller obtained a degree in psychology from
Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi,
and had become a schoolteacher. While
recording her first album, record company
owner Frederick Knight presented her with a
song he had written the previous year for
singer Stacy Lattisaw. Ward did not like the
song, but Knight insisted that a dance track
was needed to capitalize on the current disco
trend, and Ward relented. The song, which was
originally a juvenile-targeted tune about
teens talking on the telephone, was rewritten
with more "adult" lyrics, and the result was
the single "Ring My Bell" which reached
number one in Canada, the United States, and
the United Kingdom in 1979. Disputes with
Frederick Knight, a car accident, and the
fading appeal of disco music halted Ward's
career, and she came to be regarded as a one
hit wonder. Only one other single of hers
made the Billboard charts in the U.S., "Don't
Drop My Love," which halted at #87.
On New Year's Eve 2002 she performed "Ring My
Bell" in New York City's Times Square before
a crowd of revelers as part of the city's
official celebration.
On New Years's Eve 2005, Anita performed in
Memphis, Tennessee at Bealstreet. She sang
her number one classic hit "Ring My Bell" and
several other disco hits.
She has also appeared in Zagreb, Croatia on
January 4, 2006, the night before the FIS
World Cup slalom race on nearby Sljeme with
some other groups and singers from disco era
(Nile Rodgers & Chic, Village People, Thelma
Houston and Rose Royce).
The Soap Factory Disco helped put disco on
the national map. It was the location of a
weekly disco television show of the same name
in the mid and late 70s. Not generally
frequented by celebrities, but a fun place.
Then, one night at the close of the 70s, it
made the decision to go from disco to rock
and cater to a college crowd. It was a sign
of the times.

 |
The video contains video clips from "Cliff
'em All" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943
film based on the novel by Ernest
Hemmingway). Instrument timings may be off
because Metallica played at a higher tempo
live than their original track.
For everybody's information, there is no real
music video for this song. The video was
made to heal boredom.
R.I.P. Cliff Burton.
The video is also uploaded to myspace.
