who sings delta dawn song
Because Midler was already signed with Atlantic, he threw the song at Tanya Tucker. Meanwhile, a replica of Tuckerâs âDelta Dawnâ was offered to Barbra Streisand, who turned it down. So the song went to Helen Reddy (for whom Harvey used to open). Midler went right ahead and recorded her own version of it, which was due to be released to radios in June 1973, but Reddyâs single went out two days earlier.
