Such a wonderful voice, so many great songs. I'm not as familiar with Mac Davis, except for "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me," but RIP to the both of them.

Thankfully our teacher had a reel to reel tape machine and played Helen and our pre-recorded vocals in the background so we didn't actually have to sing on key live. Which was good because i am tone deaf. Always had a fondness for her after that.
