９月２９日剛仙逝的澳大利亞歌姬, 海倫芮迪, 享壽７８歲（１９４１－２０２０, 距７９歲生日只剩２６天）。

不算個人特別偏愛的歌手, 但也介紹過她不少歌曲, 筆者最喜歡她的［Somewhere in the Night］.

澳洲實力歌姬［海倫芮迪］──流行抒情曲──［Crazy Love／瘋狂的愛］

I can hear his heart beat

For a thousand miles

And the heavens open

Every time he smiles

And when I come to him

Thats where I belong

Yet Im running to him

Like a rivers song

He give me love, love

Love, love, crazy love

He give me love, love

Love, love, crazy love

Hes got a fine sense of humor

When Im feeling low down

And when I come to him

When the sun goes down

Take away my trouble

Take away my grief

Take away my heartache

In the night like a thief

He give me love, love

Love, love, crazy love

He give me love, love

Love, love, crazy love

Yes, I need him in the daytime

Yes, I need him in the night

Yes, I want to throw my arms around him

Kiss him, hug him, kiss him, hug him tight

And when Im returning

From so far away

He gives me some sweet loving

Brighten up my day

Yes, it makes me righteous

Yes, it makes me feel whole

Yes, it makes me mellow

Down in to my soul

１９４４年１０月出生墨爾本演藝世家的海倫．芮迪（Helen Reddy）是澳洲著名藝人, 主要活躍在美國演藝圈

１９６６年一項TV選秀比賽讓她得以移居美國

在此瑞迪遇到第二任丈夫　並搬到加州　闖蕩歌壇

只是她的運氣不好　整整被２７家唱片公司拒絕

不過皇天不負可心人　１９７０年　海倫終於跟Capital唱片簽下合約

１９７０年１月　芮迪推出在Capital公司的首張單曲〔I Don’t Know How to Love Him／我不知如何愛他〕 登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃１３　澳洲拿到單曲榜亞軍　加拿大＃８  讓她一舉成名

接下來, 海倫推出第二單曲［Crazy Love／瘋狂的愛］

這是英國北愛爾蘭范·莫里森（Van Morrison）１９７０年創作並出版的歌曲

Larry Marks將其製作成一首流行抒情曲, 編曲簡潔, 跟芮迪恬淡嗓音的演繹相得益彰

［Crazy Love］表現不如前者, 只拿到Billboard單曲榜＃５１　副榜－Easy Listening榜＃８

澳大利亞＃６６　加拿大＃３５

兩首單曲收在１９７１年５月發行的首張專輯〔Don’t Know How to Love Him〕。

大碟登上Billboard專輯榜＃１００, 名次雖低, 但因長賣, 最後拿到金唱片（５０萬張＋）

加拿大＃４０, 澳大利亞＃５１

此後芮迪的事業便扶搖直上
