Anita Ward (born December 20, 1957) is an American singer and musician. She is best known for her 1979 million-selling chart-topper “Ring My Bell“. “Ring My Bell“ is a 1979 disco song written by Frederick Knight. The song was originally written for then eleven-year-old Stacy Lattisaw, as a teenybopper song about kids talking on the telephone. When Lattisaw signed with a different label, Anita Ward was asked to sing it instead, and it became her only major hit. “Ring My Bell“ went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Disco Top 80 chart and the Soul Singles chart. It also reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. It also garnered Ward a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1980 Grammy Awards. In the Netherlands the single reached no.2 in the Dutch Top 40 on August 11, 1979. This video is recorded during the broadcast of the TROS TOP 50, episode no 52 on June 23, 1979.
