- Operator (Midnight Star song)
-
"Operator" is a 1984 # 1 R&B/dance single by Midnight Star, produced by then-current bandmember Reggie Calloway.[1] At the dawning of 1984, despite having achieved much success on the R&B chart and an extremely successful album, No Parking on the Dance Floor the previous year, Midnight Star had yet to make a big impression on the pop charts. However, "Operator" finally scored the band a significant pop hit. The single cracked the pop Top 20, peaking at number eighteen, and remains Midnight Star's only top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also their biggest hit on the R&B chart, hitting number one for five weeks in late 1984 and into 1985.[2]
