Helen Reddy singing Delta Dawn on the Midnight Special 1976.
I was eight and heard it on an old radio I somehow found after my grandfather died. Loved this song from that day.
I think Reddy's facial expressions make this song 10x better when she sings it. Especially in the beginning.
Yes yes!
This song's writer, Larry Collins, passed away on January 5th, 2024
If you never heard his amazing guitar work and vocals as one half of The Collins Kids with his late sister, Lorrie, it is a great way to pay tribute to a talented musician.
RIP, Larry.
I have often wondered why Larry Collins wasn't a superstar in the 60's
Helen Reddy was one of Australia's greatest gifts to the United states.
Too true.
Nobody sings this song like Helen Reddy. THANKYOU FOR SHAREING YOUR TALENT!!!
Love this song...but didn't Tanya Tucker sing it originally?
@@vincentbaca790 No. Bette Midler did.
@@vincentbaca790 Had the big hit in 1972.
Oh for the music and sensible times of my youth!
Delta dawn was my favorite song when I was growing up in the70s it still is today.
My sister and I would sing it at the top of our lungs. Lol. The 70s were a heck of a lot of fun.
Long live Delta Dawn
Same 😊
“Delta Dawn” to me is most identifiable with Country Music legend Tanya Tucker. It’s amazing how it crossed over to become a Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit for 70’s pop music queen Helen Reddy!!!
Better Midler sang it first, then Tanya did a version, and finally Helen did the best version.
I am proud to be Australian, thank you Helen Reddy ❤
Whoever the pianist is on Helen's recording, he did a great job.
I love this I was very small .. mama had her radio on and I would listen to every song playing. This one caught my little ears.
Most beautiful eyes we ever saw..
What a woman. Just so so wonderful
This and Angie Baby ❤... always loved them both... what a talent
❤❤❤
Buen gusto el suyo amigo 👍👍🤝✨🌞✨
I grew up listening to miss Helen. Reminds me of family n good times.
Great Song 👏🙏🏾 Helen Reddy!
Absutouly brilliant. No question about it
i remember helen reddy in the charts in the uk when i was 11 years old in 1974 great singer sadly missed RIP
One of a kind!! Amazing talent ! So grateful I got to see her live.
I loved her music. And she was very beautiful. The music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and most of the 80s were great. After that, most of the music changed and not for the better.
Me too !
Me too in 1980 Hong Kong Regent
Hotel！
Yes Australia for it previous small population has had some of the worlds great artists don’t forget Olivia newton John the the very first indigenous Australian band that sang will you still tomorrow Chrissy divinyls lead women but Helen started an anthem with I am woman

Love that male bass voice coming through ❤😊
She was one of my favorites when I was in college. I also enjoy her in Pete's Dragon, an underrated Disney movie.
Yes Me Too Helen Reddy and Karen carpenter,Carole king OH The Memories.

I would have loved to see Hellen Reddy sing this song this is one of my favorites the other is I am woman you rock Hellen ❤❤❤❤
Brings back such fond memories of my childhood years.
Ive never heard this version before and i love it ❤
Very good ,a lot of expression , and attitude
"Summer of 1973" :) Oh how I wish I could go back to a time where summers were spectacular !!!
My mother used to sing this … could hear her in my parents’ bedroom when we were little…. usually when they were going out and we had the babysitter. Sounded just like this 👆🎉🥰
Great production values on this performance; all the way around....
Que bueno eran los espectáculos de esa época, naturales , sobrios , dignos de verdaderos músicos 👍🤝👍🌞✨
Rest in paradise Helen reddy
HR One of the best female Singers
First cassette tape I ever bought - and the best!
I love this song
Me too
I love ❤️ this song 1975 😢🎉😂❤😮😢🎉😂❤
WOW 😊😊😊😊😊
Blessed be her memory!
Just gets me right in the❤
I don't know who her agent was, but he (or she) knew what songs would become the biggest hits for Helen Reddy.
Her manager during the 1970s and very early '80s was her second husband Jeff Wald. He usually did listen to the demo tapes first and then suggest to Helen which songs he thought would be hits.
@@keenahansel9104 Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.
@@davidpanetta6400 you're welcome David. I don't know everything about Helen Reddy but I know a lot and I'm always happy to share my knowledge. I've been a huge fan and followed her since I was a preteen in the early '70s.
Helen Reddy...soooooo coooooollllll!
賑やかな良い曲ですね。僕は大好きです。
How touching that such talent had to go!
I love the song that Ms hellen reddy singing ❤
Fantastic - I watched the film on her life story. It made me support women's equality
Need to get her played on radio 2 - I will look at their site later
I have contacted radio 2 - Sara Cox - all request Friday for I am Woman to be played.
What talent !
Yes Yes Yes ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉Rest in Power Ms Helen Reddy. 🎉🎉🎉
I just discovered that the voice I heard singing this song on the radio throughout my childhood was not Tanya Tucker’s.
Great piano playing.
She was interviewed by Delores Cannons radio show. Helen also studies and practised hypnosis l.
Love love this song
RIP HR.Mummy used to sing this 💜
the male bass singer in the background is underrated.
HELEN!
Oh good version
Good on you ,Helen,just doesn’t matter what you have been doing in America,we love you back anyway.
Olivia was my everything. She had a voice like an angel.
The most famous voice.thati have ever heard. In the history of song. Just what I feel
Helen has a great voice and of course you also have Karen Carpenter.
Her version is the best
Original Song was,
Released in June, 1973
Who wrote it? Please 🙂
Flippin awesome I was 10 in 74 😂❤😂❤
I was -28 lol
❤🎉
Beautiful
Helen reddy and Karen carpenter ❤
Loved her m
Usic
Much better than the Tanya Tucker version.
❤❤❤
I find it interesting that Hellen Reddy was born and raised in Australia, but she sings with an almost Southern American accent!
I have a friend who is from Queensland and her accent fits in well with the locals in Downeast, NC.
Style is important. I don't think Kylie Minogue or Olivia Newton John sound particularly Aussie.
Just like how British singers sound American when they sing
She was a phoney. An Australian woman mimicking an American. Never had an original song. Sang hits written by men but presented to the public as a feminist. Had hits but zero legacy.
For starters, her name is Helen. If you want to diss someone, spell their name right.
Well, that made my day.
I feel 50 years younger.
(But I'm glad I'm not.) 🤠
NASA should name their next rocket 🚀 Delta Dawn 🌝
100% Agreed！
I've always preferred Helen's version to Tanya Tucker's but I was careful in sharing that!
I'll sing this song.
That audience was not impressed lol. 😂😂😂
I wonder, did Angie Baby, Ruby Red Dress & Delta Dawn all know each other?
I like this version much better than Tanya Tucker's
No one like Helen Reddy
Too bad this is the studio version synced over the live video. I would've preferred to hear the actual live take of this!!
Tanya Tucker's version , I like better. Helen Reddy did a good job.
Tucker was only 13 when she sang this on Her Haw in 1972. Reddy's version, released the following year when she was 32. Obviously, Helen was a full grown woman, and TT still a child. I agree she did a remarkable job, but it's the addition of the brass in Reddy's take that always wins me over.
Tanya Tucker forever !
Tough crowd!
An early memory…my mom dropped me off at daycare that was run by a bunch of hippies and they use to sing this all the time. Even as a four year old I was like 🙄
HELEN IS THE ORIGINAL SINGER.
bridesmaid with a flower in hair,
never the bride with a the bonquet
Hmmm... Was this song written about me?😂
As was common back in these times, this is not a live performance. It's the studio recording that they lip synced to.
In my opinion Barbara ray did a great version up there with the best if not better
Lip sync crap! Would appreciate just live clip from her.
Tanya Tucker has a much more convincing delta accent.
Really the crowd was hard on her
Nice, but Ray conniff is the best rendition
Probably took singing lessons from Ken Tamplin
Bette Midler's version of the song is electric ...
Tanya Tucker is 1000 times better.
Sorry but Tanya Tucker sang it better.
❤
It is unbelievable how pop tge lezbo sound was back then
Shame after her career was done she said she wants nothing to do with the memories or her american fans.
Ungrateful but I syill love her music
I didn't know she said that, but I never was a fan, anyway. I thought Tanya Tucker sang this song better.
Is that right? I can believe it. I always thought she was a horrible showbiz person. Do anything to make sure it. She bagged Australians too. Whatever got attention for horrible hell on.
I love this song
