happyhomemaker25 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I knew the words to Delta Dawn...... anyone else I was born in 1978 and I know all the words. I love that song. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I loved that song. For some reason I associate it with 'I am Woman'. :tongue_smilie: I need to get my friends to sing one of those with me at Karoke. :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 That song was before my time, but I know it from karaoke :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I think both "I am Women" and "Delta Dawn" were both Helen Redding songs. And yes I know all the words too. Watch the Helen sing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYJzjd8HGMM Edited October 11, 2011 by OrganicAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I loved that song. For some reason I associate it with 'I am Woman'. :tongue_smilie: Maybe because Helen Reddy, who sang I Am Woman, also did a version of Delta Dawn. I know this because of an argument dh and I had over who sang Delta Dawn and when it was on the charts. Thank goodness for the internet so we can easily look up this vital information.

Legomom Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I definitely know the words. I used to make my Barbie sing it. I never totally understood it though. What is the mansion in the sky? Who was the man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Thank you all so much. Delta Dawn has now morphed into an I Am Woman earworm. Oh, good. I see I'm not the only one with this association. Edited October 11, 2011 by MyCrazyHouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 That's my song! I was born on the Mackenzie Delta in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. And of course, I'm a Dawn. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I knew the words to Delta Dawn...... anyone else of course! As a matter of fact, I sang Delta Dawn for a "show" we put on in our garage for the neighbors :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB in NJ Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 LOL! Wasn't it fun?! We lived in a row home in Philly. The neighbors always knew when something was going on in the neighborhood. All we did was stand out front & announce the show. And they came in droves ;) Fun fun fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Helen sing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYJzjd8HGMM Thank you for the link! I had forgotten how much I liked her, she has such a clear voice. Okay, now I'm showing my age but I liked the simplier background arrangements with more emphasis on the singer and song. hmm :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Will people remember the words and sing the songs of today 35 years from now? (not isn't that a typical comment from an oooooold person) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
