A stack of Australian female artists paid tribute to the music icon Helen Reddy at last night’s ARIA Awards in Sydney.

Amy Shark, Christine Anu, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Kate Ceberano, Marcia Hines, Montaigne, The McClymonts and Tones and I performed the singer’s groundbreaking 1972 anthem ‘I Am Woman’.

They were joined by a simply massive choir of over 30 singers from all corners of Australian music. Take a deep breath, because here’s who was involved: Amy Sheppard, Christie Wheelan-Browne, Clare Bowen, Dami Im, Emma Donovan, Erika Heynatz, Fanny Lumsden, GRAACE, Kate Miller-Heidke, Katie Noonan, KLP, Maddy Jane, Missy Higgins, Mo’Ju, Odette, Samantha Jade, Teeny Tiny Stevies, Thandi Phoenix, and many more.

Reddy died at the end of September, aged 78. ‘I Am Woman’ was the first in a string of hits for the Melbourne-born singer, including ‘Delta Dawn’, ‘Angie Baby’, and ‘Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady’.
