Ring My Bell --Anita Ward

It should have been better deleted because it doesn't mean a 'telephone bell,' I guess.

Call Me - Skyy
Call Me- Sylvester
Call Me - Spagna

Here are a couple of Northern Soul classics about the telephone that I love:

The Moments "Nine Times"




and this hilarious one.... she's desperate - her "love jones is really comin' down"!!!!-she's "GOT TO TALK TO THAT MAN!!! "

Marie Green "Sorry, That Number's Been Disconnected"

[mrkick20000]

Call Me - Skyy
Call Me- Sylvester
Call Me - Spagna

Thank you, discokicks. I think calling on a fixed-line phone used to mean more in 70s & 80s than that on a cell phone nowadays, especially to lovers.

[BrunoRepublic]

Party Line - Andrea True Connection (oh, and "Call Me" is another song from the same album)

I have an odd 12" called "Telephones" with a custom black-and-white sleeve, but the artist name escapes me at the moment. I think it started with Danny, but I can't recall.

Yes definitely...it felt like someone specifically made the time to make the call rather than getting a cellphone call while someone fits you in between errands or sitting in a traffic jam needing someone to amuse them.

Here's another one...would mix with Blondie's "Call Me"....

Telephone (Pick Up The) - The Flirts

[mrkick20000]

Thank you, Markydefad. I didn't know and have taken a fancy to the both. I like the latter one's song title.

I have learned a lot tonight (at my local time) !

I totally agree with you. Thanks again for another info.

Thanks for the info, Bruno. I don't know Telephones by Danny??, but will surely check it out.

One more: "Allo Réseau" / "Who's On The Line" by Kim Harlow.

I think it was Danny Darrow...?

[BrunoRepublic]

I think it was Danny Darrow...?

Yup, that's the one.

Rah Band's "Clouds Across The Moon"
This is my favourite version.
At the end, when her call get's cut-off, it just breaks your heart!


(aaarrrggghhh! I've given-up on this "embedding" thang.)

Ring, Ring by ABBA

[SandraDee]

'Bad Connection' by Strange Affair (sorry disco citizens, I couldn't find it on youtube ).......Alexander, Alexander.....

Besides Kim Harlow, I love Crazy Gang - Telephone Computer.

[mrkick20000]

Indeed I am amazed that there are retro phone disco tunes a lot more than I expected. Especially those including traditional ringing sounds are fascinating...... I appreciate all posted here that really take me back!

PS: Let me add this one.

I know how you feel... [tongue]

It's the train-related songs, that I was a junkie, for. [wink]

You've got a point! Get On The Funk Train, Orient Express.... I am sure it can be a good thread....
