1. How about none?

n/t

[jabbo]

2. Helen Reddy?

You have got to be kidding!

[MissMillie]

3. She did a pretty good cover...

... of Cilla Black's "You're My World"

[SiouxJ]

7. Never heard it

However, "I Am Woman" was the first 45 I ever bought when I was a kid. I must have been around 7. Guess I knew from an early age I was gonna be a Dem. :-) I never followed her after that or anything but I do appreciate her voice and her contribution to the feminist movement.

as I recall.

That's so touching.

What about ANGIE BABY and I don't know how to love him?

[SiouxJ]

16. I thought about including those and "Ruby Red Dress"

aka "Leave Me Alone" but I wasn't sure anyone but me would remember those. Should have known you would. :hi:

20. I voted "Delta Dawn" but all the others mentioned bring back good

memories. She actually did do some good stuff, for sure.

When I was a little dude, I made up my own version of "I Am Woman" that I was rather proud of, that could easily have been caleld "Tribute to Forrest's Little Forrest." Not astoundingly feminist in tone, was that variant.

[SiouxJ]

21. Yeah that's the thing

the memories for sure. I mean nothing sends me flying back to the early 70's like hearing the first few notes of "I Am Woman." I started this as sort of a tongue in cheek thread (guess no one got my "Pete's Dragon" line) but then people started mentioning their memories and favorites I had forgotten about and it turned into something else. Plus, you gotta love any woman who pissed off the conservatives back in the 70's right?

Thanks for playing Forrest :hi:
