Helen Reddy recorded Russell's song "Bluebird" as a single and on her 1975 album "No Way to Treat a Lady". The song debuted on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the July 5th issue of the magazine and eventually peaked at number 35. That same issue also marked its debut on the magazine's Easy Listening chart, where it spent eight weeks and peaked at number 5; on the "RPM" singles chart it reached number 51. Reddy said, "I love Leon Russell's writing and I love this song. It was an integral part of my repertoire for nearly 30 years, and I never tired of singing it."
