She won a Grammy award for best pop female vocalist the following year and in her acceptance speech she declared " I like to thank God because SHE makes everything possible!" Pretty bold in 1972!
I don’t know what things were like in America, but in Australia at the time women needed their fathers or husbands to co sign to open up a bank account. Also after they married it was frowned upon if they continued to work. This song meant soo much to so many women at the time
yes i remember
Same here. And permission for medical procedures.
I saw that in an episode of "The Doctor Blake Mysteries" where his housekeeper/secretary turned wife, Jean Beazley needed Dr. Blake to cosign for a loan so she could go to Adelaide to help his son with her newborn grandchild.
my husband (pictured here) attended a scientific quorum in Australia in the late 1980’s. There was a female scientist there who presented an idea that he found to be fascinating and worth discussion. When she was done, the male group acted as though she had never spoken and just moved on. He was utterly appalled. Not saying that female scientists haven’t had a difficult time in the States. Just that this level of disrespect was foreign to him as an American scientist.
When I got married in 1972, and called to change my name on my credit cards, I remember being roundly scolded by the operator for not changing my first name to my husband’s. I told her that I WAS changing my name......to my husband’s last name. She told me that it wasn’t proper that I didn’t delete my first name and become Mrs. Jerald.....etc. I said that Helene was my name, and I intended to keep it. Up until that time, it was considered only divorced women who would take the title of Mrs. and then their own first name. Scandalous! It is difficult for young women today to acknowledge what their grandmothers fought for and they take their rights for granted....even disdaining the term “feminist”. A true shame.
Helen Reddy and Mac Davis passed within a few hours of each other, both were 78 years old. Helen Reddy was a guest a few time on the Mac Davis variety show. Mac Davis wrote In the Getto which was big Elvis Presley hit. His biggest hit was Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me and also had a hit with It's Hard to be Humble
Yeah, I was going to comment about Mac Davis writing "In the Ghetto." Great song and great talent.
You just brought a tear to the eye of an old guy. How can one so young understand the premice of injustice so well when so many still don't get it. Brother you just gave me hope for the future in the generation coming of age. Hope to see you in politics one day. Someone with your insight to the human condition is so badly needed.
Mac Davis passed away on the same day. Also 78. RIP.
My youngest brother was born disabled and it was an uphill battle for my parents to get him the proper educational programs. My mom use to sing her song, "You and Me Against the World" to my brother when he was a baby/toddler.
I remember in the 1960s my mother had to have my dad to co-sign before she could get a checking account and credit card. This song caused a lot of heated debates when it was released. Thanks for being so open to new old music.
Awesome song from an awesome, powerful woman who will be missed very much.
Great message. Great song. Great lyrics. Very important artist. Many hits as you alluded, RIP Helen.
Thank you for this. Those of us old enough to remember her and her music appreciate your take on her. Peace and Blessings always.
Thank you so very much for paying tribute to one of the great female vocalists.
Helen was an icon. This is actually an enhanced studio version merged with video from the Midnight Special which Helen hosted often. The song was a hit in 1972. May she Rest In Peace.
Pre-ONJ she was my fave female singer along with Karen Carpenter.
She was a presence in the 70s. She was on a lot of variety TV shows at the time and used to sing live just as well as her recordings.
We take for granted where we are now. It is hard to conceive of a time when women were not being considered “legal persons under the law” but such it was. It was the work of these such women who allow me, as a 60 year old women, to know I can look any man in the eye, including my husband, with the understanding that his opinion is not worth more than mind just because I am ‘just a woman’
In our souls, we understand we are equal, even if our ‘brothers’ do not understand. The Women’s liberation movement was never about the hatred of men, only ever about the embracing of women’s potential. I love this song!
I cannot help but feel this song’s power thru my entire body. It came out when i was a teen in Southern California. Fully impactful on my life then.
Thank you Daniel for your tribute to Ms. Helen Reddy, the Queen of 70s Pop Music. Yes, she did write this song which became the anthem for the women's liberation movement. Definitely do some research on the movement, you'll find women had so many societal restrictions placed upon them by the US patriarchal system. She was an amazing song stylist/interpreters, singing songs by some of the musical greats at that time. Interesting side note, you mentioned Reddy's first song "I Believe In Music". That song was written by the Mac Davis. He too was another 70s troubadour. Sadly both Reddy and Davis passed away on the same day... 😓
It's the 100 year anniversary of women's suffrage btw, Reddy here was addressing what we call the "Women's Liberation" movement, which at the time was about social, economic and sexual freedom. Her cover of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" is lovely with her slight Australian twang. Interesting how "Jesus Christ Superstar" keeps popping up.
Yvonne Elliman sang that in Jesus Christ Superstar. She also had a disco hit with "If I Can't Have You" and sang back up with Eric Clapton. Another excellent talent. Looking back it is mind boggling just how many wonderful female recording artists we had growing up. They were talented, beautiful, intelligent and strong.
@@firebird7479 Yes I mentioned Yvonne's original in another thread somewhere. JC Superstar (1972 film version) was recently on cable, very dated to say the least but Yvonne stands the test of time. I also mentioned on the Incubus reaction that was blocked that Brandon Boyd was supposed to play Judas in a revival a few years ago but it was cancelled, that would have been incredible to see. The London revival was so well updated. And yes, the 70's were mind-blowing for female singers, I'm remember everyone from Anne Murray to Ann WIlson of Heart to ABBA....
@@emanonfox1709 Anne Murray's cover of The Beatles' "You Won't See Me" is outstanding.
@@firebird7479 I'd forgotten that, gorgeous! I always think of "You Needed Me" when I think of AM
It's so important to remember what the situation for women was when this song came out. Women couldn't serve on Juries, couldn't open bank accounts in their own name or get credit and there were many discriminatory practices in employment and pay some of which we are still talking about today. This song became an anthem in the fight for a whole raft of rights that were slowly gained through the 70's.
@@harpermadison8096 Hi Harper, you're quite right on juries and different states but I was just making the point that there were still women in the US who couldn't sit on juries and on credit and bank accounts, your rights to those were only enshrined in law by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 so just before you opened your first bank account.
And I had a pleasant interaction on TH-cam. Thank you too
Daniel, a story about my late, GREAT mother: in 1967, my (SOB) dad kicked us out of his (not ours, HIS) house on a Marine Corp base (where he was an officer). He decided he no longer wanted a wife and kids-my sister was 9, I was 7, and my brother was 3. My mom was 32. Mom drove us to a nearby city (she wanted our dad to still be able to see us-which he chose NOT to do). Mom tried to get a lease on a 2-bedroom apartment-where my sister and I would share a room, and she would bunk with my brother. She was denied a lease because she was a woman (in 1967, that was LEGAL)..they told her, “maybe if you have a checking account” (she had CASH for security deposit and first month rent!). She went to the bank. And she was denied a checking account, BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN. My GRANDFATHER had to drive from New Jersey to North Carolina, to co-sign for his adult daughter. Mom was a registered Republican until then. She found out the GOP was responsible in NC for these archaic laws-so she drove to the GOP headquarters, and handed them an envelope. Inside, was the ashes from her burning her Republican Party membership card. At the GOP office, she looked them straight in the eye, and told them point-blank-“You just lost me FOREVER. You see the office for the Democratic Party, across the street? I’m registering as a DEMOCRAT today. Today, and always. You’ve made an enemy of THIS woman.” She went across the street, and registered as a Democrat. She was a Democrat until her death in 2012. She worked the polls; did voter drives; and was her county Democratic chairman. The law requiring male relatives to co-sign for women didn’t change until 1970!! Mom ADORED this song. And she impressed on my sister and me that our gender DID NOT mean we were barred from anything. Mom fought, and fought hard. She insisted we register to vote ASAP after turning 18, and used to say, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain. Period.” I’m so proud to say that all three of her kids are politically active, AND all eight of her grandkids as well. I miss her every single day!
Mac Davis also died. He sang/wrote "I believe in music" and "Baby don't get hooked on me'
She was one of the most popular and finest female vocalists of the 70s. I grew up with her music during my grammar and middle school days. Thank you for sharing ☺️❤️may she RIP
Wow I’m so glad you did a Helen Reddy Song. I had no idea she had just died until you said it. She has many really nice sounding songs. Please do some additional songs by her like Angie Baby, You and Me Against the World, Ain’t no way to treat a Lady. I’d love to see your reactions. She’s Australian, btw.
"Delta Dawn"! I can still hear my little sister butchering the lyrics to that!
You should do ‘Angie Baby’ by her. The studio version. Kind of a creepy song, but it sounds good and it’s one of her better known songs.
Angie Baby was her biggest hit
Great choice
I am strong - I am invincible ... I've always been grateful for hearing those lyrics as a kid - they became my anthem in my teen years when I battled cancer.
Recently came across your channel, and have been enjoying it very much. You don't act like you are "hamming" it up for the camera, you are just being yourself. Keep on doing that!! Also you're voice calms my frantic soul during these perilous times. Peace.
@@harpermadison8096 Agreed!!
Yes that is the question WHY is it so hard to except equality for everyone, we are Human after all it should be so easy to except freedom for all. Love your thoughts on all your songs. Love your channel.
Cheers! th-cam.com/video/3F2NeH_-f34/w-d-xo.html
Dude, most men couldnt vote either for most of history. The only people who could vote at first were rich men, land owning men. then rich women got the vote, then working class men, and working class women followed soon after.
For most of history, nobody could vote, and the King/Queen controlled everything. When non-royal rich men got the vote, that was a big deal at the time. That was hella progressive for the time.
You cant judge the past by the thinking of today. Most poor people lived in rural areas, there was no TV, radio or news for most poor people were illiterate, they worked 12+ hours a day just to eat. For most working people, politics was for rich folks who could read properly. Its hard to vote when you cant read the ballot paper.
The single biggest cultural shift that lead to social change was free public education, and that didnt happen completely until the 20th century. When poor people could read and understand the world around them, they started demanding more. That and the rise of political movements like socialism.
Its important to understand history, and all the steps along the way that lead to the equality we have today, and the privileges we have in western countries.
In most of the non-western world women still dont have equality, just being a feminist can get you arrested and jailed in the Middle East. African girls endure FGM and being sold into marriage at a young age. There are still slaves in the world.
People are victims of the time and place they were born, theres millions of people in the world that still cant vote
I remember this from my childhood. My mom had the 45 record and played it all the time. Wonderful voice and powerful. A thing I find cool about the song is the key change at the chorus goes down. Most songs with a key change go up to raise the energy. I think it gave her the added range when she belts it out. Great choice, and I’d like to hear more of her’s. RIP
I was newly married in the 80s and a car lot dude asked me to get my husband to cosign a car note for me, even though I had the better job and more time on it. We have a long way to go still, but thankfully we're not where we were.
RIP Helen Reddy. She was an excellent singer with many hit songs. Thank you for this tribute.
Good to see you pay tribute to her. She was a pillar for many women back in the day.
helen reddy is a great australian that will be so missed..bless her soul
A very important song to me as a young child figuring out my place in the world in the 70s.
And this was one of the songs they played during the down time between speakers at the Women's March in DC in 2018. Still relevant today.
RIP Helen.
When I was a kid she was a SUPERSTAR! She was everywhere. Music everywhere. She had her own variety show. She was on the Grammys, then hosted the American Music Awards three times, she was a Vegas headliner, AND she was in films. She lived her lyrics. I remember the women in my family feeling empowered by the song and it was hard not to feel like everyone was part of change for the good. You've done a good review - the context of the time was more different than you can even imagine. And the country/ballad/folksy music of the time was also huge. And she remained feminine but strong. There was an argument at the time that strong women would give up femininity. Nope, and she didn't even really entertain those criticisms - because it didn't matter!
I do hope you'll review some of her other music. Angie Baby was her biggest hit. And not all women favored the women's movement - many didn't.
Women who don't favor the women's movement sure do enjoy the results of it ... such as voting rights, affordable child care, management positions, and other equal rights, all fought for and handed to them by feminists ... some of whom are men who also believe in women's equality.
RIP, Hellen Reddy. Great song/anthem! It was a big hit back then.
This makes me tear up now, because of the honesty in the voice and lyrics. She was brave to sing this in the face of so much opposition. This was a victory of the human spirit, put to glorious uplifting music!!
She was so big in Australia her birth country! I and all the other women here absolutely loved her when this came out, I’m an Australian. The song really affected me and it changed me. We grew up in an abusive household and one day I sat my mother down and told her she doesn’t have to take it from him and she really had to get out and she agreed. I was only sixteen and we moved out. This song was always with me I never let a man treat me with disrespect!! So thank you Helen! RIP.
Dude...I'm so happy I found you. Its so refreshing to see a young man appreciate what it took for Helen to get where she did. Seeing your facial expressions made me feel hope for humanity even now... thank you love.
She Is Another Great Female Singer That I Love She Also Did A Song Called And I Love You So Really Need To Here It May She R I P 💔🙏
Mac Davis passed away as well, and he either wrote, or co wrote some classic songs. Check out his top hits and pick one.
First gig I ever went to. Back in about 1976 and I was around 8. Wonderful singer. My taste now is more rock orientated, but I can appreciate greatness in other genres. Every once in a while I'll listen to a song or two of hers to remind me how good she was
At age 10, I really supported “Women’s Lib”...especially the bra burning.
Ps, RIP Ms. Reddy.
Oh yes, my young friend, this song was radical for its time as was the Equal Rights Ammendment which I think was coming at about the same time. Thanks for honoring a woman who did so many great things !!!
✌❤🌻😷🎶 RIP Helen.
And most people don’t know. The ERA was actually written in 1923, by famed suffragette, Alice Paul; around the SAME YEAR women got the right to vote. And (hopefully) this year we’ll have the FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT!!
oh, I remember this song. Didn't realize it was this old. I'm sure I have heard it in movies before in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Thx for honoring this great lady ! Helen Reddy is an icon who will be remembered forever. You did a fantastic job here young man!Kudos!
Great reaction and refreshing to have intelligent and meaningful commentary to an iconic song. Thanks.
I am 50. I used to wake up to my , Mom passed 4 years ago, singing this and learning guitar. Keep up the good work. Happy birthday.
This song was iconic and was everwhere for a long time
helen was a damn good singer, no frills, no chills. girl. sing.
today's electronic singers with their stage circuses can't and don't compare....
I idolized Helen Reddy. Thank you for this reaction!
When I was getting a marriage license in Wayne County, Michigan in 1977, the clerk wouldn't issue on to me because "we have never given one to a girl without the man present" I burst out in tears, my Mother (rest her soul) went upstairs and interrupted a trial, she burst into the court room yelling "Excuse me! Excuse me!" as she strode up to the Judge, he and the bailiff were open mouthed and I thought we were going to be arrested, the Judge listened to Mother and wrote a note telling the clerk that she had better issue me a license, the clerk had a smug look on her face until Mother gave her the note, lol.
Okay, I gotta say it ... I just love you!!! You remind me VERY much of my own grandsons, young men of whom I am EXTREMELY proud, just as I am sure your family is proud of you. I have hope for the future of our world because young people today seem more capable of combining critical thinking with emotional maturity, an ability many of us struggle a lifetime to achieve. I'm a faithful subscriber and really enjoy the thoughtfulness of your reactions. You're going to do BIG things!
You take the time and make a commitment to search out so many details on your posts....I just can't say how much I appreciate that.....very great reviews and Thank You!
What a tremendously talented woman. Have been a fan since seeing her in the Disney film PETE'S DRAGON. This song, along with "Angie Baby", "You And Me Against The World" and "Somewhere In The Night" are real gems. I hope you do a review vid for each of those songs.
Way to move it all around. Really appreciate your willingness to listen to a plethora of musical genre. Peace
Helene here..I do not speak for my husband at right. But I know you are a Christian. I am too, but I am a progressive Christian. One of the strongest pushbacks to equality for women are conservative segments of all religions, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu etc. Christian churches, such as the Southern Baptists, who believe that some customs of a pastoral people from thousands of years ago should still apply in our time.....in this case, that a woman should never be in a position of authority over men. I believe this to be true. If there are members of that community out there, please correct me if I am wrong. I hope I am and that this community has changed.
Women today, 2024, need this song more than ever. You are a very wise young man, you'll go far in life ❤
Thanks , great reaction
This was an anthem!
Thanks for your honest reaction and supportive words. It is just as relevant today as in 1971. I still have all of her records
I played her early albums so much I wore them out. My favorite was her cover of Leon Russel's, Masquerade.
I was 11 when this came out !my friends and i would sing this song at the top of our lungs on the bus !but the principle would not let it be played or sang in our school....very small town country school.love your reaction to this song and heart !you're a kind good hearted young man
I am 58. The world needs young people with your intelligence, integrity and farsightedness.
I love that you take the time to know the history of the songs and artists. I was 10 years old when this came out. It was a powerful song that still holds true to this day. Knowledge born of pain is a woman's burden. Love, childbirth and navigating life is part of the experience. Keep learning:)
RIP Helen. Definitely a force for good in the world and a strong role model for young women. Peace! ✌✊🌹
happy late birthday
Thanks for your respect 🙏 for this talented, focused woman who worked her ass off to get her voice heard as a single mum. She is survived by a lovely family, I thank them for sharing her.💜💗
HELEN REDDY, " I AM WOMAN". SHE PASSED, AS ALWAYS HER SONG'S WERE AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE AS I SURE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. THIS SONG, AND MY FAVORITE BY HER, "DELTA DAWN". THANKS DANIEL, AND HELEN WILL MISS YOU AS I HAVE SO MANY OTHERS..... RIP AND BLESS YOU.... IT'S EERIE MAC DAVIS DIED SO CLOSE TOO HER, IN HOURS AND IN AGE....
The ERA still hasn’t passed. Women in America couldn’t open bank accounts, until the 6os or have their own credit cards unless a man came along to co sign until the mid 70s.
You're doin' a good job, dude. The Helen Reddy content brought me to your channel, as I've been listening to her stuff on TH-cam quite allot, since I just found out about her passing a month ago. You're fair and honest. I could tell you really meld with the music and let it take you where it may. Helen wrote the lyrics to that beginning with "I am strong, I am invinsible, I am woman" --- a phrase that kept hitting her in her sleep. Although she was important to the "movement" in the early 1970s, she wasn't the full-on Femininst that many attribute to her, based on various interviews I've listened to. (She criticized Madonna, saying that she helped to erase all of the gains that were made for women in the 1970s).
A very thoughtful reaction, thank you, RIP Helen
Honest to pete, I was listening to a 1972 American Top 40 replay one Saturday last year, and this song was debuting. I kid you not, Casey Kasem referred to her as a "girl from Australia" who had her husband to thank for her success. And then he played I Am Woman. Like, say what?!
I was 17 when this came out. Gave me the courage to do anything, go everywhere and not be afraid.
If you do a tribute to Helen, Mac Davis deserves one too. He also hust died. Please react to Happiness is Lubbock Texas in My Rear
View Mirror. Thank you.
New to your channel love the vibe helen reddy talented smart tough and committed we r not equal but the fact that people that are committed the change keep fighting a battle that success is so hard to achieve and is measured in inches but the fight is what will make the change u would make a good politician passion and knowledge is the qualities u seem to have
Evan Hughes
Oh yes totally agree,.I love that song too, good choice
A groundbreaking artist rip Helen Reddy thank u cool channel thanks
She had a very unique voice, you instantly knew it was her as soon as you hear her sing. It's a shame that she never really took off in the UK, her only hit there was "Angie Baby" even "I Am Woman" didn't chart there, but she was much more successful in America & Australia where she had tons of hits. Her Greatest Hits CD is wonderful, so many wonderful songs she recorded. I listen to it regularly. A great loss to entertainment. RIP Helen xx
I remember when this was new. I had a case for her back then. She had tons of talent , she could sing and had a great sense of humor too. I missed her when she fell out of popularity and moved on from singing.
"Yes I am wise; but it's wisdom born of pain"
"Yes I paid the price; but look how much I gained".
Whew! What a lyric! Just kicks ya in the guts don't it?
I know I treading on thin ice here; but if you really want to know how we could live in societies rife with prejudice for so long; slavery, oppressing women and other races?
Just read the OLD Testament son, it's all in there.
Yep. The Bible.
You're welcome.Your dissection, analysis and response to this song shows the mark of a genuine human being. Well done to you and your parents for creating and building a good human man. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the music of Helen Reddy! My channel is the No. 1 channel for her music! Please do a reaction to You're My World by Helen so you can hear her range! It will pull your heartstrings! Sending love!
Always admired the powerful lyrics.
It's odd that she and Mac Davis passed on the same day. I saw them both together in the early 70's.
RIP Helen... 😇🙏💕
You nailed it when you said 'the audience needed to hear it'. It's a perfect anthem - it's musically simple, with a call and response, and it's driven by the lyrics and refrain. The lyrics galvanize the audience: "If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong." This was still an idea that a large part of the population didn't fully embrace.
It's difficult to believe this was somewhat considered a radical song. I went to college in 1966 when it was expected and normal to either get a "Mrs. degree" or get a teaching degree so you could get a job before you married. Men would often say, sarcastically, "hear me roar" when a woman tried to assert herself. When more women began to get professional degrees or just decided to work, it was a huge demographic shift in a fairly short time. This is not to say that there were always women working hard, but being a housewife was expected if a husband could support the family. A wife working often was considered a blow to a man's masculinity.
Yes, indeed, this song was controversial and yes most women were on board but there was a sizable minority who were not. To understand why, you need to think in some stark terms - who stands to lose if everyone were treated equally? Put another way, who is less likely to be successful when the playing field is made level? It's really two groups -those who need the playing field sloped in their favor to succeed, but also, those who have become very very adept at playing on a field that is sloped against them. I don't mean "so good they are able to overcome the slope", I mean having that special skill to manipulate others to carry you uphill. That skill becomes less valuable when there is no hill. And there were a lot of women who had put a lot of time and effort into honing that skill. Because that was the way to win. And suddenly the rules were changing. Very scary for these women.
R.I.P Helen
Daniel once again I will say that you are wise beyond your years. Really enjoy your opinions!
Agree with you 100% on equality my friend,
Just FYI she is the female lead in Disney's original version of Pete's Dragon back in the 70's. It was very different from the new version with Robert Redford. Lots of songs for her to sing in the old version.
R I P to one of the most beautiful women AND voices in music. She had such huge hits back in the day, very iconic performer!
From The Midnight Special YES!!! She hosted that show many times as well! In answer to your question about why it took so long to get rid of all the BS...Global society has LONG been a patriarchal society. These screwed up ideals have long been ingrained into culture for THOUSANDS of years, so deeply that it will take a long time to remedy the situation. There is a book I would recommend for you to read and I will PM you about that. Ultimately, the elites with all the money also want all the control and therein lies the problem.
Weird they did a lipsync when The Midnight Special always had live performances. Controversial? I wouldn't say that but rather a very loud message that a lot of people never really heard before. Song facts for the assist, great reaction and insight Daniel!!
@@harpermadison8096 She was doing very well at the beginning, but towards the end you could clearly see she wasn't following along with the recording in a few spots.
during the 70's she had top 10 songs
I like your thoughtfulness in your analyses... Keep up the good work.
What a sad loss. This was such a great song, performed so very well. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I will miss her... She was in Airport 1975 Pete's Dragon Diagnosis Murder Episode Swan Song and She even had a small cameo in the Fat Boys movie Disorderlies.. We need her more then ever.... Candle on the Water is another good one...
“ Peace” is also a wonderful song of hers
21:53 Me and Mrs. Jones is an excellent song! Billy Paul was one of the originals from the Philly Sound (Soul Music) of the 1970s.
I was around your age when I first heard this song. It really did "inform" my life philosophy. I know that it is hard for you to really understand what it felt like to be a second class citizen, but that was the life that all girls and women had until recently. Things still aren't equal but a lot of progress has been made since the 60s and 70s. When I was your age a woman couldn't get a bank account without it being signed off by her husband. Yeah, that's real, or used to be. Think about it.
A couple of names came to my mind for some reason while listening to this.
Elkie Brooks and Maggie Bell who has an amazing, powerfull voice. "Suicide Sal" is one of her best songs.
(Finland was the 2nd country in the world giving women the right to vote, and the 1st one where women could also be elected to the parliament. In 1906 if I remender correctly.)
Maggie Bell of Stone the Crows and Elkie Brooks of Vinegar Joe are two singers and bands to check out.
Elkie Brooks, fantastic singer
We the audience need to see it to this day
The 70s were full of anthemic music, like this iconic sing. There is no decade that equals the 70s in modern music. We are the 70s, hear us roar! In tunes and melodies too big to ignore!!!!
Song, not sing
Can I give you a suggestion? dive into the music of Karen Carpenter, and learn what it is like to hear an angel sing.
We are and have always been struggling to form a more perfect union. Trump and Maga, notwithstanding, we are still striving and struggling mightily. To give a seat at the table to anyone but white straight Christian males. All deserve a seat at the table of the great American experiment. Sing this song out loud, now in 2024 more than ever.
I was 15 when I first heard this song and considered myself a young feminist. I remained one even during the 80s when it seemed that word took on a nasty meaning. We were called femanazis. I morn the passing of two great women RBG and Helen. I hope there are young people ready to pick up the torch. There is still work to be done. I recently retired and never once received the same pay as my male coworkers and I trained many of them. I once questioned my boss about this and was told that women work for spending money.
Great reaction! First time seeing you channel and I like it!
Oh wow,I honestly didn’t know. My parents loved them both . Oh man life really really goes so fast . I used to think 27 was old !
RIP to Helen Ready . I remember her music drifting through my grandparents home . RIP to MacDavis Too.
