 Helen Reddy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helen Reddy (born October 25, 1941 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian pop singer and actor.
Reddy was born into a well-known Australian show business family—her parents, well-known performers on the Australian vaudeville circuit, were actress and singer Stella Lamond and writer-actor-comedian Max Reddy; her older sister is actress-singer Toni Lamond; and her nephew is actor-singer Tony Sheldon.
Reddy's version of "Delta Dawn" was released in the summer of 1973, just two days ahead Midler's version, but disc jockeys preferred Reddy's rendition and it eventually went to #1 on the U.S. charts and was a hit in several other countries including Australia.
