Who sings the disco hit "Ring My Bell"?

A Memphis substitute teacher was grading papers when she got the call that her recording went gold. Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" went to number one so quickly that she hadn't even gotten a chance to go to a disco before becoming a disco queen herself. The song was originally written as a wholesome song about kids talking on the phone, but when the producer got hold of Ward, he tweaked the lyrics and made them more... adult. Ward always insisted the lyrics were completely innocent, nothing you'd be ashamed of in front of your kids, which is exactly what you'd expect a teacher to say.
