CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1500 CHOICE TRACKS


#218 ANGIE BABY Helen Reddy
"Angie Baby" was penned by singer / songwriter Alan O'Day. His publisher first offered the song to Cher. After she rejected it, it was presented to Helen Reddy who did record it. That decision resulted in a 3rd US #1 for the Australian singer in late 1974. Joe Wisert produced the track. O'Day's clever and intriguing lyrics have baffled listeners as to what happens to the song's protagonists.
Reddy continued charting in America until 1981. She also branched out into movies, including 'Airport 1975' and 'Pete's Dragon'. Although Reddy retired from the music industry in 2002, pursuing a career as a clinical hypnotherapist; she came out of retirement in 2012 and toured Australia in 2014.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song is added each day.
