Has Buzzr aired Helen Reddy's appearances on "The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour" yet? I know that the latest episode in Buzzr's run only goes to late March 1984. I know Buzzr is just past the halfway point of the series.

The Helen Reddy MGHS week aired 2/6-2/10/1984, ergo Buzzr aired it

I heard about the deaths of Mac Davis and Helen Reddy from a friend this morning. She even stated that those are two iconic musicians who passed away on the same day, and I discovered, on an "American Top 40" forum, both singers died at age 78 coincidentally (though Reddy was less than a month shy of her 79th birthday).
My co-worker also mentioned that Mac Davis's songs, like many songs during the early 1970s (namely Elton John, Gordon Lightfoot, etc.), told interesting stories in song. I even commented that the storytelling songs drastically dropped in popularity after disco took over, and my friend agreed with me on that.
Strangely enough, the first single Reddy recorded was a cover of Mac Davis's song, "I Believe in Music". The feminist anthem "I Am Woman" is perhaps Reddy's best-known hit. Reddy is now ready to head to heaven now, as is Davis.
