So I'm guessing Lady Slaveholding Confederacy didn't go over well with the focus groups?

Apparently there is/was a group in New Zealand called the Chicks and they were asked for their permission for the name change.

Both Helen Reddy and Mac Davis have passed away. Both were aged 78 years.
I have Helen Reddy's album "Long Hard Climb," which, however, does not include "I Am Woman." It does include "Delta Dawn" and "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red-Dress)." She had quite a voice.
I remember Mac Davis's variety TV show. I always liked him.

Mac Davis didn't ring a bell with me until you mentioned the variety show. I do remember that.
I remembered two of the songs you mentioned but not "Leave Me Alone." I quickly googled to see if it would be familiar and got a clip from the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson still had dark-ish hair. The song is only semi familiar, though.
The others I could probably sing along with. I wasn't a huge Helen Reddy fan, but I've discovered that any familiar song from the late '60s through maybe mid '80s or so I can often sing word for word whether I liked the songs or not.
