#226 LEAVE ME ALONE (RUBY RED DRESS) Helen Reddy
Australian performer Helen Reddy was born in 1942 into a musical family. She began entertaining as a child, growing up in Melbourne. Reddy had her own TV show in the 1960s. Reddy migrated to America in 1966. After a long wait, she finally made her US chart debut in 1971 with her cover of "I Don't Know How To Love Him". Reddy's version of the big ballad from "Jesus Christ Superstar" reached #13. The following year, she dropped the anthem "I Am Woman", which reached the top on the American and Canadian charts. Reddy returned to the top in 1973 with "Delta Dawn", her 1st Australian chart topper. "Leave Me Alone" was selected as its follow-up.
The song was penned by Linda Laurie. Tom Catalano produced the recording. The single reached #1 on the US Adult Contemporary Chart and on the Australian Top 40. It also went Top 5 in America, Canada and New Zealand.
Next, Reddy issued "Keep On Singing", a #15 single in 1974. Her young daughter Tracy provided a guest vocal on "You and Me Against the World", which returned the singer to the US Top 10. On the AC Chart, it became her 4th consecutive #1.
 
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.
