Helen was a big star back in the mid 70s. One of the voices of my youth. Mac Davis died same day as her.

Pride of Australia!

'I Am Woman': How Helen Reddy's Feminist Anthem Quietly Changed Pop

"I realized the song I was looking for didn't exist, and I was going to have to write it myself," late Australian singer once said of her signature hit

Favorite Helen Reddy song,(R.I.P.) would be "Angie Baby", which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December of 1974. Written by Alan O'Day, Helen delivers haunting type vocals about a young girl who is either mentally gifted or mentally ill, or maybe both.
Here is a video of her performing it Live in Concert..

First of all, I would like to extend my most sincere belated condolences to the family and friends of Helen Reddy on her recent passing at the age of 78. The recent passing of Helen Reddy, who co-wrote the feminist anthem and more specifically, the lyrics to 'I Am Woman' may help to become a catalyst for the push for more female nominees and inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Will this lead to a posthumous nomination for Helen Reddy in the near future?

Will this help bring about the parity for more female nominees and inductees?

At this point, one can only speculate.

Well, what do you think?

As a business man, I know very well what the Rock Hall's consumers want. I'm glad that one-hit wonder band, Radiohead didn't made it at first year in favor of Bon Jovi who are big enough to draw real crowds. This is the Hall of FAME, not the Hall of the Niche.

Hugely successful artist, anyone who was around in the 70s couldn't avoid her, whatever you thought. I Am Woman alone should get her in.

I don't understand why Helen Reddy isn't in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, but then again I'm not surprised , when I have seen some inducted that I believe shouldn't, this woman's music helped changed history, it's sad she hasn't already been inducted…..
