澳洲實力歌姬［海倫芮迪］──謀殺敘事曲──描述情聖風流一生的［No Sad Song／沒有傷心歌曲］

Women fell into his arms

He rolled them up just like cigars

Later on he would discard them

On the hardwood floor

Visions of power danced in his head

Let them right, hed throw women out of his bed

Theres still a spot where one of them bled

On the hardwood floor

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

There is nothing he couldnt have done

But now hes dead and gone

Tried to murder the sun with a handmade gun

But the sun shone on and on

They never made something he couldnt afford

He had it all and still wanted more

They found him dead, stabbed in his bed

With his head on the hardwood floor

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

Sing me no sad song

１９７１年上半葉　澳洲籍歌手海倫芮迪（Helen Reddy）以首張大碟〔I Don’t Know How to Love Him／我不知如何愛他〕與同名單曲走紅

Capital公司為打鐵趁熱, １９７１年１１月立即為她推出第二張專輯──同名大碟［Helen Reddy］

仍由Larry Marks製作, 樂評出色。

首支主打［No Sad Song／沒有傷心歌曲］由Carole King＆Toni Stern創作

描述一名情聖風流一生, 最後被刺死在床, 是首謀殺敘事曲

海倫並灌錄法語版［Plus de Chanson Triste／更多悲傷香頌］

由於歌曲太過針對性──芮迪說貶低男性太過──導致市場反應不佳

［No Sad Song］只登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃６２, 副榜－Easy Listening榜＃３２

荷蘭＃２９　加拿大＃５１

由於首單反應不佳, 大碟［Helen Reddy］銷售慘淡, 只升到美國專輯榜＃１６７，　也沒打入澳大利亞榜

讓海倫乍得聲勢受挫, 幸好下年的冠軍經典［I Am Woman］改變她的音樂事業
