This song was played every weekend and the disco club!! I won a dancing contest with this song!!! Good times!! I wish everyone could have experience the 70's!! It was lit!!

Since you guys loved this, I think you would also like "Got To Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn, and "Le Freak" by Chic.

Next up on the disco diva checklist- Amii Stewart's version of "Knock On Wood". :)

Well she does have 2 entire albums because my mom had them. 🙂So Anita does have other songs, even if they weren't hits.

There are definitely a lot of disco tunes that you have to hear. Here's another great one: *"Knock On Wood"- Amii Stewart.* It was a #1 hit in 1979. So was "Ring My Bell." 😉

This always makes me think of Amii Stewart’s “Knock on Wood”.

Another great one is “Turn the beat Around” by Vickie Sue Robinson, which Gloria Estefan covered later.

This song shot to the top of the charts in the summer of 1979, the latter days of disco. It's considered by music critics to be one of the best engineered single recordings. Great memories from my teenage years ☺️

This #1 disco hit was originally written for a teen girl and was all about a telephone call. When it was revamped a bit to fit a more mature singer the lyrics took on a more provocative tone. Anita Ward had moved on to a teaching career and was a very religious woman who had to be convinced to record the track, and it worked out.

Yes! I use to play this song to death back in the day!! "Ring my bell...ding, dong, ding..aaaaaaaah!" Listen to The Emotions "Best of My Love".

Amii Stewart - Knock on Wood. A great disco song. You'll love it!

Anita Ward also did an excellent cover of the song called “I Love the Night Life”. The original artist was Alecia Bridges. But, Anita Ward’s sweetness won my heart. Alecia Bridges was another one hit wonder as well. That reminds me of Cheryl Lynn’s “Got to be Real”, another one hit wonder.

Absolutely one of the top 5 disco classics ever. If you ever go to a disco night at a club, it's 100% guaranteed that this will be played.

This takes me back. I would love to see your reaction to Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart. It's from the same era and IMO blows this song out of the water.

One of the great disco songs ever, right up there with I Will Survive and anything by Donna Summer. Haven't heard this for a long time, thanks Mama and Papa!

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I still like it. This was a #1 hit in the U.S.

The 70s was mad groovy

I'm convinced Rob would do just fine if he was living in the 70's listening to the Bee Gees and Donna Summer dancing the night away at Studio 54 🕺

A great song from my teenage years. Always on the radio, or playing down at the disco. ❤

OmG..what a memory...my senior year of high school song...played at every reunion ! This and Parliment Funkadeluc and especially The reallest...cheryl Lynn...got to be teal...so awesome..and let's not forget the terrific Knock On Wood...beautiful voice.

Oh my gosh! I went from hippie days to disco & loved dancing to this kind of music! My husband & I would practice with our kids in the kitchen doing the bump & other disco moves! We loved this song!! Such fun days! ♥️The old white woman

The greatest love of my life revolved around this tune....and others. Still missing you Annie.

That song is so fun,brings back great memories of dancing in the clubs

I remember this one playing at an area disco where my sister was working as a bartender. This song played A LOT!

My grandma Joann loved music. She grew up on country and Elvis. She had all these records we'd listen to when I was younger. Then she started to listen to my music and fell in love with this song, Prince, Stray Cats, Bruce Springsteen, and a whole array of amazing songs. We still kept up with country and how it was evolving. She was so much fun, and had the best taste in music. I miss her every day. But I love hearing songs that give me such wonderful memories of the time we would spend together. She was one of a kind.🎶🥰🌷

OH MY G... I sang and danced like crazy to this song. I was 4? Just my favorite song for years. LoL

She was on tv recently and still sounds good. The disco era had a lot one hit wonders because it was around for a short time.

OMG ....That was The Club and Weekend 💕 PARTY SONG ...👏👏👍

Agree with many others here. Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart from the same year next. Im sure these were played back to back in the school disco way back then :)

What really made this song a hit was the backup girls tight harmony

Wow!! Have not heard this in 40 years!!!🤘🔥

Oh wow .. one of my first 'my song' in my life ! I remember to listen to it (a lot) on a turntable !!

Ooooo, hit the dance floor quite a few times with this great one, was great for 70s early 80s clubbing, Thanx for the memories, Peace

Please check out, "Let the Music Play," by Shannon. It followed the disco scene and basically was one of the first popular songs for dance / Club music.

Jay/Amber, must be one-hit wonder Wednesday! :). Wonderful voice.

An oldie and a great memory. I love this song

Lol every time y'all ring the bell for new artists I sing the hook to this song. So glad y'all are doing it now

I see y’all stumble of some gems 😂 s/o movie soundtracks. She reminds me of Rose Royce, love don’t live hear anymore

"You Ain't HEARD Nothing Yet" until you check out The Emotions "Best of My Love" and "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge.

Thanks for doing this one. Really takes me back. Maybe some Cheryl Lynn "Got To Be Real " or "Star Love" or Evelyn Champaigne King - "Shame" or "Love Come Down" same vibe.

'Funky Town' by Lipps, Inc. comes to mind around that time and 'Knock on Wood' by Ami Stewart.

Disco time!!

I remember dancing to this when I was only 7 years old in ‘79. 😂 I’m so glad you both were digging it. It’s definitely catchy!

Cool disco song. Harem pants, disco lights what a fantastic energetic time.

My brothers and I would take turns singing along with this when it came on the radio...can I trust you not to tell? Such a feeling this brings back.

This song we did a drill team step to when the song first came out, so imagine we have to do this in front of the judges but they have to play the music on the loudspeaker at the parade. I enjoyed it, I can actually still do that step🤩🤩🤩

When you hear this song and music 🎶 you can't wait to get out to the dance floor and have fun dancing 💃 love the seventies I wish I could turn back the clock let's go back to the seventies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I grew up listening to this song. It was awesome.

A few other great songs worth reacting to in this genre are THE TRAMPS - DISCO INFERNO, EDWIN STARR - CONTACT and BONEY M - DADDY COOL

For another female Disco one hit wonder try "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston.

In the back of my mind where I don't always think so hard, I've always mixed up this song with "Knock on Wood" by Amii Stewart, another one-hit wonder. Ring a bell, knock on a (wooden) door, you know? Both were massive disco hits in their day. (They both came out in 1979.) I happen to prefer "Knock on Wood," which has a bit more drive and push to it, but "Ring My Bell" is a fun song.

Once again I have not seen the video yet but I’m absolutely positively sure you’re going to love this song!!!

Sylvester - You Make Me Feel is another hit! I’m still saying Mary Jane Girls - My House is butter! 😍

Part of every DJ's playlist back in the day.

This song was an all-time disco hit, whenever it came on at the club everyone would get up on the floor to dance as if their lives depended on it. Huge hit! And, if the ladies didn't have a male partner, they would dance with each other. Hearing this now brings back good memories. Thank you for reacting to this golden oldie (oh dear God, I'm at that stage in life). Another fun disco hit of the day..."Devil's Gun" or Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel" (Mighty Real) or "Young Hearts Run Free" by Candi Staton. Just a few disco hits from back in the early 70s. Or Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie" (1973)...or The Trammps "That's Where the Happy People Go" "Where Do We Go from Here" "Disco Inferno"

Love this song and this reaction! My suggestion for a future reaction is Don’t leave me this way by Thelma Houston. Short story I wanted to learn how to disco dance back when it was popular so I bought some books and tapes to learn but by the time I learned disco was dead. Lol big love and hugs to all robsquad family 🌈😘

You ain't heard disco until you've heard *Boney M.* They are, in my opinion, THE greatest disco group and I'm not even that big a fan of disco. My sister saw them in concert and I was J.E.A.L.O.U.S.! They incorporate folklore into a lot of their songs too... "Rasputin" from the _Nightflight To Venus_ album would be a great start. But then you have "Gotta Go Home", "Nightflight To Venus", "Rivers Of Babylon", "Belfast", "Ma Baker", "Daddy Cool", "Bahama Mama", "He Was A Steppenwolf", "Painter Man"... ALL classics!!! 🤩

Always loved this song.

Pure disco gem! It was a music tsunami in France during fall 1979. I was 15 then. Backing vocals are what I enjoy the post in this song. It's like there was a vocal exchange between them & the lead singer. By the way all the elements of the song match together to make it be the smash hit it was when it was released.

...and we danced. I probably turned it down in the car on the way to school, but that's on me. GREAT SONG!

Jay and Amber, given how you’re both educators, you’ll be thrilled to know Anita Ward was a school teacher prior to becoming a one-hit wonder with this number 1 smash hit. The epitome of disco! The song was initially written for Stacy Lattisaw, whom you should check out. I recommend her Love On A Two Way Street from 1981.

Oh yeah. I'd always crank the sound when this song came on. I was mainly into rock in the 70s and 80s but there were definitely some fun disco songs along the way.

Lol. This is one of those..lol..I remember when I was little and my mom wouldn’t let me sing this song..

This song is from 1979. Anita Ward was a teacher in Memphis, TN when she recorded this.

UP N DANCE 💃..you’re already swaying in rhythm 🎶 looks GREAT

My 6th grade teacher loved this song. We didn't have a cafeteria in our school at the time, so we ate in our classrooms. We were able to play records during lunch. If someone was playing this tune at the time Ms. Chavis came back in, she would begin dancing to it. Anita Ward was a one hit wonder. She became a school teacher after her singing career was over...

Finally!! Disco days! '78 Lol I was hoping yall would react to this one! Ohhhh the middle school days ' this song still rocks!!

Such a fun song to dance to!

So I meant Anita back in the early 80's. She was in a car accident. So she was out for awhile. There was a 2nd single called " Don't Drop My Love." But the record company did not promote it. She tried a comeback. And actually asked my to be her road manager. She was performing on the Airforce base where I was stationed. Little Rock AF base. I produced that show. Unfortunately I was not able to get out of my military contract to do so. At that time, she just had a bunch of people hanging on, taking her money.

I loved this song when I was a teenager. Disco was so much fun!

I was 16 when this was a hit in 1978. I still have the 45 rpm.

One of my favorite songs during the disco era. One of the greatest disco songs.

She is from my home town and her mom worked at my elementary school. They were both beautiful ladies.

Yea Jay ring that bell !

I was a senior in high school when this song was on the charts

I totally remember this song! You can ring my bell, ring-a- ling-a-ling!! I just had goosebumps!! This song was so fun to dance to!!!! 🕺Disco, YASSSS!

This song was such a hit…….dancing at the disco every weekend.

Some other Disco songs you should react to if you haven't already. "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" by Sylvester "I Love The Nightlife" by Alicia Bridges "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston "Shame" by Evelyn "Champaign" King "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer

HUGE HUGE HUGE hit in the clubs. It was played every night and always packed the floor. I went clubbing in NYC in the 90's and they were still playing it. A true classic!

Another one-and-done artist. There were a lot of them in the disco era that broke through with one catchy song and then disappeared - Alicia Bridges, Amii Stewart, Silver Convention, Andrea True Connection, A Taste of Honey. - but you can't think of the era without them.

Once you hear it, you can not stop hearing it, It is a lot like respect by eurasure. it was always on at the dance floor.

Listen to Sister Sledge! Start with We Are Family and he's the Greatest Dancer. Also from the late 70's

Once again this song packed the dance floor and we did a line dance with people going down the center free style!!!

This sing brings back soooooo many memories! Thanks for reacting to RING MY BELL

The peak of Disco imo. There were many great songs back then, but this song especially her vocals shine !

Yeah!!!!!! I remember my sister winning this 45 from the disco (We used to go during the day with parks and recreation!) This was the first record she ever owned and we played it constantly.😀👏💃 The good ole days "sigh"...

Definitely a dance song! It’s was such a popular song in 1979’s that was plays on radio and clubs all the time. Love this song, great disco song and fun to dance to. Enjoy your reaction and seeing you both enjoying the song.

This was a hit just as i`d started listening to the charts on a Sunday evening.Happy memories!

This song takes me back. It's the sound track for my families vacation when I was 8 years old. It seemed to always be on the radio.

Everyone from Memphis was proud and excited ! She’s from Memphis and had a number one hit on the Billboard Top 100! The three hottest songs of the summer of 1979 was this and Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” and “ Bad Girls” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! She went on to be a school teacher but to this day she still performs Ring My Bell around the world!

I remember still catching myself singing "Ring My Bell" in the shower a good decade after it was on the radio. It was very catchy!

Iconic song ! Takes me back to so many dance floors! 🕺

Would be so cute to see you guys on Rob Squad Family do a disco party with the kiddos! Great 70’s songs and everyone dancing! 😀🥰🥰

I must’ve Danced to this tune 1000 times

Such a catchy chorus. This song still has some power. Disco could be a fun time. Thanks for this memory.

Such a FUN song🤩 One of my all time favs. Can't sit still for this one💃

Very smart lady. She has a degree in Phycology. " Don't Drop My Love" is another good one.

You would love the beautiful voice of Etta James singing, "At last".

I think y'all should react to Dazz Band's "Let It Whip"

This beautiful lady with that gorgeous voice used to be a school teacher!! ♥️
