About
"Angie Baby" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Alan O'Day which became a hit for Australian singer Helen Reddy. The song reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart December 28, 1974, and became one of Reddy's biggest-selling singles. The song also topped the U.S. adult contemporary chart, Reddy's fifth #1 on this chart. The song's cryptic lyrics have inspired a number of listener theories as to what the song is really about. Reddy never said what her interpretation of the storyline was, partly because she said she enjoyed hearing listeners' interpretations. Reddy also said that "Angie Baby" was the one song she never had to push radio stations into playing.
