[Channel98]

The Brotherhood Of Man, best known for United We Stand (1970) and Save Your Kisses For Me (1976), recorded Ring My Bell for their 1981 20 Disco Greats album which also included remakes of Y.M.C.A., Le Freak, Night Fever, Stayin' Alive and 15 other songs. The annoying "teww" sound is made with a Synare 3 electronic drum pad.
