Angie Baby is the only song of hers that I really knew of, a song of mystery maybe supernatural? who knows...

May Helen Reddy rest in peace. My favorite songs by her are: I Don't Know How to Love Him (Also a hit for Yvonne Elliman from Jesus Christ Superstar in 1971) I Am Woman Delta Dawn Keep on Singing Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress) You and Me Against the World Angie Baby Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady You're My World ("Here's the lady now that the king of shock rock calls the queen of heavy metal house wive rock, that's how Alice Cooper described his friend Helen Reddy and Helen agreed with him." - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Top 100 of 1977 at #75)

Very sad to hear this news today, Helen had a knack for picking quirky songs and had such a distinctive voice. Angie Baby is a perfect example and to add to the list by trekkielo there's also We'll Sing in the Sunshine. Spookily this appeared in my head whilst we were in Corfu a few weeks ago and did a proper earworm job on me - I have no idea why but now it seems quite prophetic RIP Helen
