Helen Reddy –
Singer, actress, bra burner.
October 25, 1941 – September 29, 2020.
Aged 78 years.
Most recognized for: Ms. Reddy’s 1972 chart-topping single “I am Woman” quickly became a NOW anthem and made her the poster girl for 2nd-wave feminism. But when getting hits on the Easy Listening chart became too darn difficult, she started popping up on TV. Carol Burnett, The Muppet Show, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and other 80’s staples. But after decades without one, it turned out she still had on hit left in her: the ground.
