Helen only had one major British hit - Angie baby, which made the top ten - but she had a string of major hits in America.
Helen's first American hit was with I don't know how to love him, from Jesus Christ Superstar, but her big break came via the feminist anthem, I am woman, which made number one in 1972. She had two further number ones in the American charts, one of which was Angie baby. The other, Delta Dawn, is a cover of a country song that Tanya Tucker began her career with (and is still regarded as one of her most important recordings). As well as those hits, Helen had further major American hits with Leave me alone (Ruby red dress), Emotion, Keep on singing, You and me against the world, Peaceful and Ain't no way to treat a lady. Her last American top twenty hit was a cover of You're my world, which was originally a British number one hit in the sixties for Cilla Black.
All the aforementioned songs can be found on this excellent collection, which amply demonstrates Helen's outstanding voice and equally outstanding songs.

Helen Reddy is one of the principal pop vocalist during 1970s.
You can hear an extensive sample of her catalogue in this compilation.
From her Grammy award winning vocals on "I AM WOMAN" to her Oscar nominated vocals on " CANDLE ON THE WATER", the listener obtains a great overview of what it was to be one of the top FEMALE POP VOCALIST during the early part of a mellow decade.

Helen Reddy is a much underrated genius. Not only does she have a wonderful, strong voice but she has made some beautiful music to do it justice. "Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady" is one of the most moving songs ever written - anthemic almost. "Somewhere In The Night" is classy and seductive little number. Much recommended.
