FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2015, file photo, Australian-born singer Helen Reddy attends the 2015 G'DAY USA GALA at the Hollywood Palladium, in Los Angeles. Reddy, who shot to stardom in the 1970s with her feminist anthem “I Am Woman” and recorded a string of other hits, has died at age 78. Reddy’s children Traci and Jordan announced that the actress-singer died Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, in Los Angeles.
The Australian-born singer enjoyed a prolific career, appearing in “Airport 1975” as a singing nun and scoring several hits, including “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” from “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Ain’t No Way To Treat a Lady,” “Delta Dawn,” “Angie Baby” and “You and Me Against the World.”Reddy’s version of “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” in 1971 launched a decade-long string of Top 40 hits, three of which reached No. 1.
“That was one of the reasons that I stopped singing, was when I was shown a modern American history high-school textbook, and a whole chapter on feminism and my name and my lyrics in the book,” she told the AP. “And I thought, `Well, I’m part of history now. And how do I top that? I can’t top that.′ So, it was an easy withdrawal.”
Oh, that sucks. She had a lot of hits back in the 70’s.
Sad beautiful voice
RIP to a talented Aussie
Unhappy to hear this.

So sad to hear that Helen Reddy has left us. 'I Am Woman Hear Me Roar' will be every women's anthem throughout eternity. Heartfelt Prayers and Condolences to her Family and Friends. May she forever Rest In Peace.🙏🙏🙏
That song, 'I am Woman' was an anthem for all women! RIP Helen Reddy🙏 Let's honor her by voting out a corrupt administration, a danger to America and our democracy, the time is now! Honor our Constitution, equality for All, our lives depend on it!
omg rip
I sang all her songs when I was a young girl. She was inspiring.
Condolences to the Family a Legend has passed away
such a sweet, feminist icon-I remember my mom singing to her songs. Loved her when I was little.
All news agencies reporting on Helen Reddy should all understand she was not “a one hit wonder”....Angie Baby, Delta Dawn, You and Me Against The World, Leave Me Alone, I Don’t Know How To Love Him to name a few.
Great singer
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

OMG! Australia is devastated. RIP Helen...you led the way and you showed those bastards how to do it - you NEVER gave in. Women around the world may never realise how much you did for the struggle. Miss you!
Played her albums many times on my radio shows, and will always have good memories for everyone from that 1970 s era. RIP.
Damn, I loved her back in the day.
Thank you for such an Iconic Woman's anthem. May God comfort your family during this time of grief. May their memories give them solace.
Damn, her song Ruby Red Dress used to be my shit back in highschool, when I was going through some pretty hard times. This news breaks my heart. RIP 💔

She was terrific, gave hope to young women coming of age in the 70’s. RIP, Helen.
Oh no! 💔😭 Another artist who touched my heart-how many icons will we mourn in 2020? Personally, my older sister blasted Helen Reddy 4 HOURS! I was a pre schooler, but I never forgot her anthem.💔
🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞
SandyC74528227 Well now, that makes me very sad. I was a huge fan. Rest In Peace👐💞
A childhood of music included Helen as feminist role model and Alto virtuosity. Her strength of voice made her fun to imitate and emulate. Rest in peace.❤
😢😢😢😢😢
Her song was about being proud to be a woman not a feminist. The clue is in the lyrics, and the title.
You're so vain.... I am Woman; hear me roar Thank you for your contributions to our lives.
“I am woman Hear me roar In numbers Too big to ignore...” Anthem of the Women’s movement, then and now RIP Helen Reddy
Wow,was going to watch a movie on her life, my condolences to her family, friends, and fans.
I grew up listening to her music and loved it. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family.
Before her movie comes out...... she was tough

😢
I loved listening to her music in the 70’s! Condolences to her family and friends.
Sad
BrendaWestcott2 I am strong / I am invincible / I am woman... I remember this song coming out when I was a kid and what a boost it was for a little girl to be told, yes you can do it, because you’re a girl. RIPHelenReddy
The song sucked, but I felt bad for her that her husband snorted all of her money away because he was a cocaine freak.
May she rest in peace.
