Getting the week off to a cracking start with Anita Ward performing Ring My Bell on TopPop in The Netherlands, which is a veritable treasure trove of mimed TV performances from the 1970s and 1980s.
Broadcast on 23rd June 1979 as a new entry in the TROS Top 50 at #30, Ring My Bell went on to peak at #2 in August 1979. It did one better in the UK, coming to the end of a two week run at #1 on the date that this edition of TopPop was broadcast.
I love how this clip starts off with Anita sitting next to the presenter, head turned away as he does the intro, then turning around getting up amongst the crowd and then getting straight down to business. What a pro.
And what's the story with the guy with the dog, sitting on the other side of the presenter? Get the poor thing out of there, they need a walk and a treat!
