'I Am Woman' singer Helen Reddy dies at 78 in Los Angeles

Helen Reddy shot to stardom with the feminist anthem “I Am Woman" and had other hits including "Ain’t No Way To Treat a Lady" and “Delta Dawn."

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.” “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.”

Apparently not 'invincible' after all.

I loved singing along with her. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.

Loved that song. It was an inspiration to me as a young woman. Rest in peace songbird.

I love her music, I will miss her. But she will live on thru her music forever. May she rest in peace.

😔

”I Am Woman” helped me find my inner strength. May her memory be a blessing.

Rip

RIP & your music will live on I am Woman hear me roar 💔

MY FAVE WAS “DELTA DAWN”. MY FAMILY SANG IT TO ME & ONCE I HEAR IT, SING IT, I COULD NEVER GET THE LYRICS OUT OF MY MIND FOR DAYS 😃 IT WAS ONE OF THOSE... 🤗🤗

Sad. Prayers for the family.

Liberal women age terribly. They look demonic for some reason.

I just heard this song the other day and thought here women are almost 50 years later “... With a long, long way to go Until I make my brother understand.” RIPHelenReddy

Read it too fast and thought she was shot

R.I.P HelenReddy

When I was 11, I loved the original Owte's Dragon movie. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Helen Reddy.

So sorry to hear. Rest easy, Helen. 💜💪💄

R.I.P.

Doesn’t that make her a fascist for enforcing some sort of ‘binary’? Shouldn’t it be woke-revised to “I have a cervix”?

Oh good, she’ll be keeping Ruth Bader Ginsberg company in hell.

Saf. My fave track of hers is 'Angie Baby'

Thinking of her Families hugs to Australia 😢♥️♥️♥️♥️

Oh, no! Very sorry. Condolences to family and friends.

RIP Ms. Reddy. You were invincible.

MadrigalMaggie This makes me so sad....

She had so many more hits than just I Am Woman.

Sad news. I just saw that Mac Davis died tonight too. He was also 78
