The Resume

    (December 20, 1956- )
    Recorded the 1979 disco hit 'Ring My Bell'

Why she might be annoying:

    She is a one-hit wonder.
    'Ring My Bell' was originally written for teen singer Stacy Lattisaw.
    So much time elapsed between her first and second albums that she began a teaching career in the interim.
    She is divorced.
    In 1990 she recorded a rock album not available in the United States.
    'Ring My Bell' has been sampled repeatedly by artists from Will Smith to Eiffel 65.

Why she might not be annoying:

    In 1981, Anita suffered serious head injuries in an auto accident. She eventually made a full recovery.
    She was first offered a recording contract at 14 but her parents declined the offer.
    After her music career faded, she returned to teaching full time.
    She contributes to various AIDS organizations.
    'Ring My Bell' is a disco classic.
