Thanks for a reminder of this legend, who also did some great acting (Pete's Dragon, Airplane) but was just left off the Oscars In Memoriam tribute. They too busy bashing cops and making racist drama and bad feelings to worry about our Helen. R>I>P
Helen Reddy, Karen Carpenter, Barbra Streisand, Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight - all unbelievable woman singers of the 1970s - talented, intelligent, beautiful
@@elainerose4750 Was a kid in the 70's so didn't know how I Am Woman affected so many women until later on but loved all her songs. I get it now. Yes, RIP to an idol and truly underrated talent.
I love this song I’d forgotten how beautiful this song is we could do with more of the music back that’s been forgotten it’s much better than what’s played now
I literally cannot help but cry when I hear her sing. Her voice is powerful and pure, her delivery incredibly poised. A voice that takes me right back to my childhood. My mother had my hair cut like this back then. They called it a "shag" and not like Austin Powers used the word. 😊
The evil corporations have their tentacles and testicles in every human activity. They have ruined sports, movies, other arts, and now are threatening academia and uniqueness of towns. Their collective narcissism and psychopathy is ruining everything.
@@softroseforyou7457 don’t think so,it’s not substance abuse a lot of the great music of the sixties was drug influenced,Lennon was a big acid head for awhile,a lot of others
My mom gave me her 45's from when she was younger and this was one in the collection. I'm in my 40's and so grateful she shared music that I think is timeless.
“She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and a truly formidable woman. Our hearts are broken. But we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever.”
I revisited this video after learning of her passing, first saw this 2 years ago. I had heard the song on the radio when I was in high school but didn't think much of it. I happened on this performance by chance and I was mesmerized at how effortlessly powerful her voice was and how stunningly beautiful she was, I fell in love with her. I've watched/listened to this video dozens of times and I am rapt every time. I went on to learn what a women's right champ she was, a truly amazing woman
I found Helen Reddy because of this song... Very beautiful voice... The best version of this song... Touched me with the love of Jesus to humankind. I don't know that she was a great singer of the 70's... May your soul find love & peace on Jesus' heart beautiful lady. RIP Helen Reddy.
Yes, she asked the right question "What's it all about" when your heart and soul becomes so overwhelmingly captivated by God's personal love for you. His love is a 'game' changer and more so a life changer. You will be changed forever, and a relationship you were designed for from the beginning of time unfolds. Trust Him. He loves you so much!
This is one of Helen Reddy's best. It takes me back to a sunny morning in 1971.... her sweet voice on the radio as I drove through rural area of Bauhinia Downs in central Queensland, Australia. RIP hon, now you're showing the angels how to sing. Thanks for the memories.
@@@piustwelfth It is... I "nivah thawht she hed wahn win Oi wahz yahng, bit she dahz" This is good, because I am so tired of people (either in jest or malice) say "Americans must have the best accent [which is strange because there are at LEAST 12 regional American and Canadian accents], since everyone sings like this", "but she does have a "wigh" of doing her native "eksint" without her being too "hahsh" with "eet". There have been a few other artists who have done this, like the "Goodies" (from Tennessee), "Petula Clark" (from the UK), Brenda Lee (from Georgia, US), and "the Easybeats" (also from Australia). Something like this happens in the UK, too (I've already mentioned some internationals stars, but people from Liverpool sort of sing in a "Scouse" accent, where "peanut" comes out like "penis"and "mother" comes out as "muzzah" (such as Cilla Black and yes, the Beatles).
In my opinion this was always hands down the best version of this song ever......there is something so incredibly touching about it because she never tries to overpower the song, and this version always moved me the most for that reason. What a unique and superb singer she was.
I agree! The best version! Yvonne Elimans version was very moving in Jesus Christ Superstar, but I love Helens performance overall! Rest in peace. Thank you for all the beautiful songs, you will always be remembered.🙏🎼🎶🎹❤
This is the first time I have heard Helen Reddy sing this song. The clarity and essence her voice gives the song a special meaning. Helen Reddy seems to be forgotten by many. But not me any longer! I only hope others have the chance to hear her sing.
@@kumaranvij I listened again and I'm going to go with Memorex. I'll listen to the album version now and get back to you. One sec. Sorry Kumar. No dice. I just played them on top of each other. They're identical.
Sarah Bareilles still does, her version is ALSO very, very good. They took down her version--copyright, but someone put this up, not as good, but you still get the idea. I doubt you would be disappointed. th-cam.com/video/5pHfQGBfAWU/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Have not heard this song for many years and instantly brings a tear to my eyes listening to her voice and the song. Wow , transports me back to being a kid being with my late parents and enjoying life to the fullest. How i wish i could go back to them days just for 5 minutes. Didn't realise and appreciate what a wonderful voice she had back then.
I didn't either. I was about 7 years old,but still appreciated other less talented vocalists. It's upsetting to realize that the media dictated our reality. I wonder how many other Helen Reddy's and David Cassidy's(my favorite)there were who we never heard sing. I also don't understand why she wasn't given more of these kinds of beautiful songs to match he angelic voice instead of many of her other songs which I'm not crazy about. David Cassidy was another underrated artist after his initial teen idol fame. He was dismissed as a former teen idol and never was allowed to regain and not taken seriously despite being a gifted singer guitarist and song writer, even though he continued to record both renditions and original songs long after his early 70's fame.He recorded a rendition of Walk Away Renee,released on an album in 2003. th-cam.com/video/RloLHPaubyw/w-d-xo.html

Regardless of what others say, I agree!✌️
I knew how precious it was at the time. I'd go lay on a bank and think about it. Cheers QuGee baby.
We knew how precious the 50s 60s and the 70s were

Beautiful woman and voice. RIP.
One of the truly great women. Love Forever.
Everytime i listen to Helen brings tears.
I had hopes of seeing one of her concerts that she performed as an older woman. She was fine it seemed, next thing I heard she had died.
RIP Ms. Reddy. Thank you. Safe journey.
This song makes me cry. The lyrics, her voice, and what it represents. The fantastic film it's from.😢
I went to the movies two days in a row. Great big screen production for its time.
RIP and thank you!
Loved your music. RIP
Helen had such a unique voice that was hard to replicate. Definitely one of a kind. May she rest in peace.
Helen Reddy's voice was utterly unique. Thanks for putting this out here.
Absolutely gorgeous amazing Beautiful
Helen Reddy, Karen Carpenter, Barbra Streisand, Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight - all unbelievable woman singers of the 1970s - talented, intelligent, beautiful
And Liza Minnelli, Donna Summer, Diana Ross and Aretha.
This song gives me goosebumps. I remember hearing it during my teens and crooning this song with my sisters and friends.
you forgot Judith Durham
CARLY SIMON - JONI MITCHELL - CAROLE KING !!!!!
Joan Armatrading
Beautiful
Love her music
No T&A. No fireworks. Just a strong voice singing
Lower Your Expectations - T & A are present mate.
Stunning. Humbling.

Helen Reddy, singer behind feminist anthem 'I Am Woman,' dies at 78 . September 29, 2020
Rest in peace my dear idol....

im am starting to hate bday, barry denin died on it an so many die around this time
A great singer, a great person RIP Helen
A great singer with a unique style. My favorite female singer of the 70's and one of my favorites of all-time!
So beautiful........
Is anyone else in love with her like I am?
Let's remember Helen Reddy just like she was here. RIP. Thank you for the music.
Helen’s voice was a part of my childhood...Her music will forever define the 70’s. Rest in Peace Helen...🙏
Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
She knows how to love Him now.
Beautiful comment...thank you!
RIP, so many loved your music
Can we go back, oh how I want to go back....
I'd go back in a heartbeat
I love this song I’d forgotten how beautiful this song is we could do with more of the music back that’s been forgotten it’s much better than what’s played now
Great song by a great singer.
Heaven just got an angel. RIP ms Reddy. Thak you for the music you've left us
Bravo! Love Helen Reddy. NO bells or whistles. Just pure talent. RIP Aussie Girl ❤️❤️❤️
Nostalgia at its best!
Not sure many people realize how many great songs she had...beautiful voice, brings back many memories 🎼💖
Indeed. Everyone should have her Greatest Hits collection.
Agree. Another great album is "Live In London. A lot of great songs on that album as well as a medley of the greatest hits.
I literally cannot help but cry when I hear her sing. Her voice is powerful and pure, her delivery incredibly poised. A voice that takes me right back to my childhood. My mother had my hair cut like this back then. They called it a "shag" and not like Austin Powers used the word. 😊
Why are songs back then wayyyyyy more beautiful than the songs we have today? Why???
Because it written, composed and sung with pure spirit . . . ?
Because music execs these days are stupid,
The evil corporations have their tentacles and testicles in every human activity.
They have ruined sports, movies, other arts, and now are threatening academia and uniqueness of towns.
Their collective narcissism and psychopathy is ruining everything.
Because now a days every one is turning to alcohol and drugs and it changes people. That is why music is different than before.

Yes, but you're hearing the studio album version. She's miming. Still she's a very good vocalist.
Empathy, very rare in any song.....with her voice, just wonderful////Thanks Helen
Absolutely gorgeous, we'll remember Helen as long as we live.
Beautiful, simple as that.
I love this version with Helen Reddy

She was my favorite female vocalist growing up. My first album on my first very own record player. RIP.

I haven't heard this song in decades. But I do remember how powerfully and perfectly she sang this song.
To me....one of the top 5 female pop singers. She had such a great sound. Unique.
Thank you for all you did for us. Rest in Peace.
i hear this song on Sundays. Nice to listen to this song while doing house chores
This is one of Helen Reddy's best. It takes me back to a sunny morning in 1971.... her sweet voice on the radio as I drove through rural area of Bauhinia Downs in central Queensland, Australia. RIP hon, now you're showing the angels how to sing. Thanks for the memories.
Did you shout along in your Range Rover to "I am woman hear me roar."
She was exceptional !
R.I.P. Wonderful Woman................
Lovely Voice Lovely Lady❤🙏😇
Her voice is incredibly beautiful...but also so very unique. When you hear her sing you know instantly who it is.
It's her Australian accent.
I'm sure there are women who are average folks with beautiful singing voices who never had the opportunity or luck to hit the big time.

Stunningly beautiful woman with the voice of an angel
Why do we have to get old?
Perfection!!!
Another iconic female (Australian) voice!!! RIP Helen Reddy and Judith Durham.
You tell them that story, Helen!!! Thank you for the precious gift you shared
Incredible talent! And as an 18 year old in 1973 we were blessed with the most amazing music of all time!
It's incredible, this woman makes the soul sing.
One of my favorites of all time. Beautiful Delivery Helen.
This is extra good.
You will live forever Helen Reddy! Thank you for your beautiful voice!
One of my favourites,r,I,p lovely lassie.

She had some power but her voice was too whiny for me.
Beautiful version of this ,you are totally spot on , incredible talented lady
@@harrychristie5392 I always thought too she did by far the best version of this song also her voice was always Christa clear!!
@@shelleyklukiewicz9545 I just read her bio, she was nervous when she sang this song, which was PERFECT for the song's mood!
I agree! The best version! Yvonne Elimans version was very moving in Jesus Christ Superstar, but I love Helens performance overall! Rest in peace. Thank you for all the beautiful songs, you will always be remembered.🙏🎼🎶🎹❤
Thanks for being a part of my formative years! RIP.
So good. Timeless❤️✝️❤️
Can't imagine anyone else singing this classic song. Helen's voice is so unique and beautiful!
Petula Clarke had a pretty amazing version
Beautiful!! Rest In Peace
In the 1974 era Helen was HUGELY popular; kids today don't realize just what a music giant she was
Sing with the Angels 👼 Above Dear Helen 🙏 💞💞💞
Rest In Peace and thank you, for the beautiful music.
Yes warm and comforting
I was a child when you were at your peak. You inspired me! Love you.
What a singer. Sad she's gone.

Me, too. I was a kid then too and miss it so much sometimes. And she was just another singer I liked then but I didn't realize how good she was.
@Peter Evans lol
I understand exactly what you said... brings back memories... all the great songs do.. Reddy was an exceptionally gifted vocalist
Love and peace what a beautiful singer . RIP . XO
So Sad to lose her. I have always loved her music and just 1 week ago started back listening to her music here on YT. RIP Helen.
Lovely and talented. RIP
