Singles [edit]

Jeff Wald, Reddy'south husband and manager, was persistent in contacting Capitol Records executive Artie Mogull with the hope that he would give his married woman her kickoff risk at recording in the US. When Mogull felt inspired to make a hit out of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar in 1970, he finally came effectually to giving her that chance.[eight] Her recording of the song was released on January iv, 1971,[9] and Wald's strategy and so became contacting disc jockeys beyond the country about giving the single airplay.[8] Information technology entered the Billboard Hot 100 the following month, in the outcome of the mag dated February xx, and remained there for xx weeks, during which fourth dimension it peaked at number 13[10] and "encouraged Capitol to produce an album."[8] The title song too went on to reach number 12 on the magazine's list of the l virtually pop Easy Listening records in the U.s.a.,[11] and number x on the popular nautical chart in Canada's RPM magazine.[12] A second single, a cover of Van Morrison's "Crazy Love", made information technology to number eight Easy Listening[11] and number 51 pop in the US[ten] and number 35 in Canada.[thirteen]

Reception [edit]

AllMusic's Charles Donovan noted retrospectively that "the moment of triumph hither is an early on version of 'I Am Woman,' which wasn't to be a success for another couple of years. Even in this restrained, embryonic incarnation, it was an anthem just waiting to happen -- rousing, catchy and timely."[ane] Robert Christgau wrote that she "applies a lean popular voice most devoid of grit or melisma to what are basically rock songs--that is, songs conceived grittily and melismatically."[2]
