Anita Ward : Ring My Bell

Before signing a recording contract, Anita Ward obtained a degree in psychology from Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, and had become a schoolteacher.

While recording her debut album, record label owner Frederick Knight presented her with a song he had written the previous year for 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.
