"Uh, Helen is known for more than 2 songs. In the US she had 15 hits. "Youre My World" was a bigger US hit than the original version by Cilla."

"Helen Reddy is one of those voices that stand the test of time. She is holding a place of her own in the arena with Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand & Patsy Cline. She has her own style and charm, as a true Diva must have. This collection offers Helen's wide varity of vocal and talent. A must have for those collecting great ladies of song."

Brilliant Australian singer of the seventies

"Helen only had one major British hit - Angie baby, which made the top ten - but she had a string of major hits in America.



Helen's first American hit was with I don't know how to love him, from Jesus Christ Superstar, but her big break came via the feminist anthem, I am woman, which made number one in 1972. She had two further number ones in the American charts, one of which was Angie baby. The other, Delta Dawn, is a cover of a country song that Tanya Tucker began her career with (and is still regarded as one of her most important recordings). As well as those hits, Helen had further major American hits with Leave me alone (Ruby red dress), Emotion, Keep on singing, You and me against the world, Peaceful and Ain't no way to treat a lady. Her last American top twenty hit was a cover of You're my world, which was originally a British number one hit in the sixties for Cilla Black.



All the aforementioned songs can be found on this excellent collection, which amply demonstrates Helen's outstanding voice and equally outstanding songs."
