Delta Dawn" was a song written by former child rockabilly star Larry Collins, and recorded by a number of female artists, most notably, Helen Reddy and Tanya Tucker, whose versions topped the pop and country charts, respectively. Included on Tucker's first album, the song was released as a single and became the then thirteen-year old's first hit. Reddy cut the song shortly after Tucker's version became a hit, and her version became the seventh-highest selling single for the year 1973, hitting number one on the week ending September 15. Barbra Streisand was originally to have recorded the song, and a backing track was recorded, but upon hearing it, Streisand did not like the tune and refused to provide vocals. It was at this time that Reddy was approached to provide vocals for the already recorded backing track. Following the success of her widely popular 1972 single "I Am Woman", Reddy's version of "Delta Dawn" sold over a million copies upon its first release.
