    Bonnie Pointer: "Heaven must have sent you"? Or is that another sound?

    Miquel Brown "So many men, so little time" with that Big Ben on it.

    Rose Royce: "RR Express" with the railroad bell.

    Yes it is disco! What made you say that?

    "Amityville Frenzy" by Lalo Schifrin has sinister bells on it.

    "Tubular Bells" by Champ's Boys Orchestra has bells too, as you can guess.

    "When the Bell Rings (Come Out Dancin')" by Elusion (Midsong International, 1979), produced by Michael Zager, has some sort of lame cowbell sound repeated various times. I doubt that sort of sound is going to make ANYONE want to dance. :D

    I think the songs with the most distinguished bells are One way's "Cutie Pie" and Shirley Murdock's quiet storm ballad "Husband". Bells are somewhat unique because they could create a one note melismatic motive. I think Natalie Cole used it in her classic "Inseparable".

    Ahh, Take me back to dear old St. Olaf with cows chewing the cud and where (the hills) pastures are alive to the SOUND OF COWBELLS! Was you a hankerin' after the ol' folks, Marky? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    If we're talkin' cowbells, I'd have thought almost every disco record ever made have 'em buried somewhere, if only as the click track.

    More cowbells :

    The Jacksons - Shake your body down to the ground (remix)
    Jackie Moore - This time baby
    Bombers - Dance dance dance (small bells in intro)
    Grace Jones - Slave to the rhythm (not really disco...... )

    Surprised that no one mentioned this old overplayed tune :
    Anita Ward - Ring my BELL ! :lol:


    Keep on ringing , Peter

    Does Madonna's "Holiday" count?

    Actually, she played the cowbells in that tune.
