I like the backup on this!

[chevyvictor]

yes true. back up singers are just as good

[rdonaldsnyder]

Sweet and nice. Memories of my time in the Air Force...

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

My favorite Helen Reddy song! I remember first hearing this on WHBF-AM 1270 in Rock Island, IL in 1973 when I was seven years old! What is it with this fascination Helen has singing about mentally ill young women? LOL! First it was Ruby (Red Dress); a year later, it was Angie (Baby)! Two great songs, nonetheless!

Bravo, Helen Reddy!

[shutdafup]

The leave me alone part kind of sounds a little like Happy Days Are Here Again

[theonlymoo5e]

This was a #1 hit in Australia in 1973 for 4 weeks starting Dec 24/73

[MrGeno502]

Happy 70th Birthday Helen!

Helen hit #3 in Billboard, 12-29-73. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[BBQFanNo1]

@DaveWollenberg What the hell part of the world were you from son? It ranked up top in the United States and Canada in late 1973.

[DaveWollenberg]

@BBQFanNo1 It peaked @ #3 pop, and, #1 AC in the US.

[nutballgazette]

But what a voice hey....

What a classic.....

[loocee95]

Classic blues tune....Great piano work.

[centralparocker]

The only song I like by Helen Reddy....but what a song it was!!!!

[indy4s]

I've been looking for this song for a while and for g-d's sake I don't know why I couldn't find it.

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #71 song of '74. Helen hit #1 AC, #3 pop. God bless!

[liquidgee13]

Okay, YouTubers, I need your help. I'm a bit of a movie buff and it seems to me I recently watched a film on cable and this song was featured in it, at the end I think. Can anyone refresh my memory.

[SB7771]

I LOVE THE BACKGROUND SINGERS. THEY HAVE SOOOOOOUL!!

[philip0460]

This song did not chart? Well, in America it not only charted but went to Number 3 Pop and Number 1 Adult Contemporary for 4 weeks and was song of the year!

[brian6078]

@philip0460 It also charted in Canada.

[shmuli9]

@brian6078 Yes, it was also a VERY big hit in Canada... Unfortunately most people not from North American think the US is called "America" and to them Mexico and Canada don't exist, unless of course they're making fun of the US, which is often...
