“I am Woman, hear me roar”
Helen Reddy
was an Australian singer who had never wrote a song until she came up with this
stirring anthem. She did the lyrics and then asked a friend in another
band to write the music. It is ironic that it was a man who later
complained that she never gave him the credit he was due.
She was often referred to as the Queen of 70's
pop.
Other Reddy hits
included Delta Dawn and Ruby Red Dress.
Helen Reddy retired
from live performance in 2002 and Wikipedia says she now practises as a
clinical hypnotherapist and motivational speaker. That's some change of career direction!
I loved that song back in the day. Wondered what happened to her. Thanks for the info.
