Even as a man this song gives me goosebumps, as it should to any man who’s mother gave life to. What an inspiring song for us all to break down the draconian mindsets that hold us back as a society. Can’t wait to see the movie.
Yep, women still dont have legal equality in most of the non-western world. Just being a feminist is enough to get you arrested and jailed in the Middle East.
Exactly. It's more relevant than ever, and she wrote the song herself. Personally, I love her strong voice more than anyone's, perhaps with the exception of the great Barbara Streisand. This song, and her voice, dominated the seventies. She retired into obscurity back in Australia, and lived alone, as far as we can tell, and passed away recently at the age of 78. There is a program about her.
This was done in the '70s when the woman's movement when women were fighting for equal pay for equal work. This was a godsend to those of us who were fighting for that then. It was very typical back then for people to tell women when they asked why men were making less than their male colleagues for the same work that "he has a family to support". They would even tell this to single mothers who were not getting child support. The divorce rate was going up at the time and single mothers were becoming the poorest members of our society. Helen wrote this song after finding out her band was making more money than she was. You should see the trailer for the Biopic on her. This song is what thousands of us sang as we march down streets fight for equal rights. th-cam.com/video/1BrGxX-x73c/w-d-xo.html
Helen Reddy was one of the most successful female singers of the 1970s. "I Am Woman" was her most popular and famous song. It went to #1 on the pop charts in the early 1970s. This song was used as the anthem song for the feminist movement's fight for women's equality. It's one of the most iconic activist songs of all-time. Other Helen Reddy songs I would recommend you try are "Delta Dawn", "Angie Baby", and "You And Me Against The World".
I forgot to mention there was a movie made about her and her iconic song called “I am Woman” which she got to see before she passed away. She loved it. They said she sang throughout the movie and cried. Her granddaughter is in the movie singing the song Revolution in the background in a scene where she’s at a nightclub with her friend and they play the song at the closing credits. It’s on Netflix now.
One of Australia's greatest singers! She said she wrote this because she was mad at always getting discriminated against and pushed aside to the men. She stated as she was lying in bed thinking about this that phrase "I am woman hear me roar" came into her head over and over! Try her version of Delta Dawn from the midnight special. Most people think of Tanya Tucker singing it but she did it first. I also just learned there is a great new bio movie about her and how she left Australia to go to N.Y. as a single mother with a 3 year old daughter with $200 in her pocket to be a singer! Brave! It's the same name as the song here I am woman
Helen was a great Australian talent who gained attention in the USA around the same time as Olivia Newton John. They really showcased the talent coming out of Australia at the time. The song was also written around the time of the birth of the womens liberation movement
@@DaniAtkinson that song jump started her career circa 1972. Also Day by Day great song from the movie cast of Godspell 1973, captures the era of the early '70s
@@DaniAtkinson Helen Reddy originally was from Australia. She eventually came to the United States and became a U.S. citizen. When I found out she passed a few days ago, I read tribute articles from different newspapers around the world. The Sydney Morning Herald has a wonderful article that listed and talked about Helen Reddy's 10 best songs. "I Don't Know How To Love Him" was one of the songs. Dani, since you already know and love the song, I think it would be a great idea if you did a reaction video to Helen Reddy singing and performing that song.
Thank you for the lovely tribute to the Queen of 70s Pop! I personally think her best vocal performance is on You're My World, her last Top 20 pop hit!
When this song was released in the US in the early 70's, single, divorced or widowed women were not allowed to sign a credit application by themselves...you had to get a man to consign. And a women's salary for loan assessment purposes was reduced by 50%! This was the start of a lot of equal pay discussions. Single mothers were the poorest demographic in the country. It was a time of great change for women everywhere!
She was the first Australian to win a Grammy. She had many hits and did TV, movies and broadway. She was friends with Olivia Newton John and encouraged her to move to America. She used to have dinner parties and Olivia Newton John and Alan Carr who was one of the producers for the movie Grease was at one of them and he was in the process of making the movie. He said to Helen you’re too young to play a teacher and too old to play a student and then said Olivia you’d be perfect. Without her Grease, which I’ve seen too many times to count, may not have become as iconic as it has. She was called the Queen of 70’s pop. It’s nice to see you honoring her. She was a special lady. She lived a modest, frugile life in her later years and she maintained the same register in her voice which is rare. I’d love for you to watch and react to this video where she sings a medley of her hits. I think you will enjoy it. th-cam.com/video/Gg18PVQ0HUg/w-d-xo.html
This became an anthem & the song of the women's movement when it came out hon...and you have no idea. You girls have it so easy by comparison to & because of women like this who came before & paved the way! You wouldn't be able to do the things you can today but for those who fought for our rights. We've still got a long way to go...but we've come even further
There's a biopic of her life available now. It's been on Netflix and it may be also on some of the other streaming services. It's called I am woman. The story is terrific the movie is a little basic but it has all her hits and you'll see that the woman you describe her as just from this song is exactly who she was
So many great singer passing . When music mean's so much to us and help's us get through this life . I don't know if you knew that Johnny Nash just passed too . I love his song . I CAN SEE CLEARY NOW ..
When Helen Reddy walked away from the music business she was so disgusted by it that she actually gave her maid a box with all of her Gold Records in it.
If you've seen the original Pete's Dragon from Disney, you've seen her acting/singing. Here's her performance of Candle On The Water from the movie: th-cam.com/video/VGbsrrkZm1s/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dani, thank you again for the awesome reaction to helen reddy and I am woman you know dani I was just thinking what if you were asked to be a DJ on a radio station what music would you want to play on your shift. ( I'm bet your saying wow that,s a good question and let me think on it). Well again awesome reaction to an awesome lady as well referring to you dani & helen reddy as well. Have a great rest of your night. Bob.
Dani u have become one of the best reactors on TH-cam check out her songs me and u against the world delta dawn and Angie baby thanks for all your hardwork
Helen Reddy was delivering an important message. But you couldn't let her complete her first thought before you interrupted her to talk about fashion. Yes, women DO still have a long, long way to go.
Dani, someone who you probably don't know about is Brenda Lee. Brenda Lee is a treasure and she started recording when she was very young. She is from the time period when Angelina takes artists that Angelina covers those great songs. Brenda's music for some reason doesn't get covered as much as I would expect. Please react to "Break it to Me Gently" by Brenda Lee: th-cam.com/video/4rm7ODV1S_0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dani. Just a quick recommendation. As a singer you should watch Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe perform Barcelona live. All the very best. P.B.
Sorry for my english, great moment again with you and your musical reviews and comment, i suggest you jay and the americans the you tube vidéo, the song :Cara Mia. Thank you so much in advance. Tony 😘
Nice review of the song but as a reaction, it would be nice if you just listened to the entire song and not pause it every few words and talk. Make comments at the end. It ruins the song when you keep interrupting it. Just my opinion.
Hi I just subscribed . I really think you have one of the best reaction channels on TH-cam. Have you reacted to anything of CHER . Anyway keep up the good work .. Hello from Vancouver Island Canada .. PS i am really looking forward to her movie about her life..
hi Dani I love your reactions. would you please do a reaction for me? with father's Day being this Sunday would you please play daddy's hands by Holly Dunn?and dedicate it all the dad's out there? my dad passed away a long time ago and l miss him so much and today 2 of my friends put their dad's pictures on Facebook. they are also in heaven. l don't know if I said that right but you know what l mean. ok. love you and I'll talk to you soon.
All I’m going to say is if you’re gonna pause so much, make sure it’s something worth pausing for. Simply pausing a great song to say anything is not enjoyable to the viewer. Good luck, to you though.
Is it possible to take notes and not interrupt so much? Just curious because your opinions are quite important. But you take away the element of depth of the song and interrupt it at key places. I do not know. I do not mean anything rude. I just was unable to enjoy it because you prevented me from grasping the song. Ok thanks
Even as a man this song gives me goosebumps, as it should to any man who’s mother gave life to. What an inspiring song for us all to break down the draconian mindsets that hold us back as a society. Can’t wait to see the movie.
The absolute confidence Reddy displays in her facial expressions is just priceless.
This song should be rereleased. It's as relevant today as it was then

There is a more modern version of this song that just came out several months ago. Don't know the name of the singer, but it was popular on tik tok.
@@nataliebradley2923 it isn't a modern version of the song. It's just a song with the same title.
Really? How?.
This got a lot of radio play when I was a kid. It was a great anthem for women's rights.
Now we are paying the price. The country is going down.
I didn’t know she died. This song was important to the feminist movement when it was released. We love our Aussie Helen in the land down under.
This song came out and was a big hit in the heat of the women's movement in th 70's. A great great song and should get more play today.
The theme for the women’s movement! She wrote the song and was an activist. RIP great lady.

Helen Reddy and Judith Durham are the best 2 female singers to come out of Oz and its so sad that they have passed away

Best women's anthem ever
Helen is an Australian & wrote this during the women's liberation movement
Sorry to hear she passed listen to her version of MY WORLD it is Great
She won a Grammy for this song

Great song at the right time.
Hi Dani loved all the reactions you did today! Look forward to seeing more very soon x
Thanks very much!
Helen wrote this song out of frustration for the lack of good songs for women
An amazing Aussie artist
If you've seen the original Pete's Dragon from Disney, you've seen her acting/singing.
Here's her performance of Candle On The Water from the movie: th-cam.com/video/VGbsrrkZm1s/w-d-xo.html
My favorite is Keep on Singing
Shes Declaring it!
React to "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy. It was a hit song for her and has been covered by many women.
I believe that she wrote it too
There is a movie coming out based on her life.
Hi Dani, thank you again for the awesome reaction to helen reddy and I am woman you know dani I was just thinking what if you were asked to be a DJ on a radio station what music would you want to play on your shift.

FYI, the song was written by a man named Ray Burton.
This was an anthem for women in the 70s
VOTE BLUE LADIES AND ALL YOU GUYS WHO SUPPORT THEM! Helen Reddy, great Aussie Grammy winner and leader of the feminist/equal rights movement..
Correction her song is titled ----You're My World
Helen Reddy was delivering an important message.
But you couldn't let her complete her first thought before you interrupted her to talk about fashion.
Yes, women DO still have a long, long way to go.
She was a he queen of the 70's and brought to the forefront the women's rights movement
She was SO hated for this song. But she woke me up as a young teen.
Dani, someone who you probably don't know about is Brenda Lee. Brenda Lee is a treasure and she started recording when she was very young.

Try The Impossible Dream by Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle- you’ll be blown away
Hi Dani. Just a quick recommendation. As a singer you should watch Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe perform Barcelona live. All the very best. P.B.
This song is about gender equality. “Until I make my brother understand!”
Helen Reddy: Don't Mess With A Woman: th-cam.com/video/CmSRoy4TdNk/w-d-xo.html
If you a don’t know Helen Reddy, you don’t know she is from Australia...
Info..suiside for women dropped 83% after this song was released
Dear! Got an english recommendation for you: Cliff Richards singing" Move It "live 1960! The Shadows on instrument.
Goodmorning Dani, great moment with ki
Sorry for my english, great moment again with you and your musical reviews and comment, i suggest you jay and the americans the you tube vidéo, the song :Cara Mia. Thank you so much in advance. Tony 😘
She wrote this in 20 minutes. In bed.
Note how the 70's clothes allowed her to show her belly, but not her belly button.
Ever s8nce asllwoman are roaring now adays like a lion
Nice review of the song but as a reaction, it would be nice if you just listened to the entire song and not pause it every few words and talk. Make comments at the end. It ruins the song when you keep interrupting it. Just my opinion.
A woman couldn't get a credit card until 1974
I really like her *Angie Baby.*
thanks for reminding me of that great song
Hi I just subscribed . I really think you have one of the best reaction channels on TH-cam. Have you reacted to anything of CHER . Anyway keep up the good work .. Hello from Vancouver Island Canada .. PS i am really looking forward to her movie about her life..
Like you’re site. Please listen to Martina McBride singing Where Would You Be live version
be interested to hear what you think of Patsy Cline singing Crazy
She took a lot of shit getting that song produced and recorded.
Please, react to Rita Pavone, song "Solo Tu". Thank you!
This was the original
Please react to Helen Ready I don't know how to love him.. from Jesus Christ Superstar.
She was Australian
hi Dani
I love your reactions. would you please do a reaction for me? with father's Day being this Sunday would you please play
daddy's hands by Holly Dunn?and dedicate it all the dad's out there?
my dad passed away a long time ago and l miss him so much and today 2 of my friends put their dad's pictures on Facebook. they are also in heaven. l don't know if I said that right but you know what l mean.
ok. love you and I'll talk to you soon.
All I’m going to say is if you’re gonna pause so much, make sure it’s something worth pausing for. Simply pausing a great song to say anything is not enjoyable to the viewer. Good luck, to you though.
Lose all the "like like like's" like all those like vocalized pauses are annoying. And come better prepared.
Is it possible to take notes and not interrupt so much? Just curious because your opinions are quite important. But you take away the element of depth of the song and interrupt it at key places. I do not know. I do not mean anything rude. I just was unable to enjoy it because you prevented me from grasping the song. Ok thanks
I have to be honest I'm not a fan of you constantly interrupting the song. Hear the whole song first. Sorry I won't be subscribing.
She very pretty I think women nowaday is overpowered That they become a man eater Iam allgood for woman liberation but now adays someare over the top
