Davis, a country-pop singer who had success on both the country and pop charts in the 1970s, passed away in Nashville. Reddy, who had been battling a lengthy illness, died in Los Angeles. Sadly, on Tuesday, September 29, both of those singers – Helen Reddy and Mac Davis – passed away at age 78. 1970s singing stars Helen Reddy and Mac Davis both died on September 29, 2020. 1 singles – songs whose themes reflected the polar opposite perspectives offered by male and female singers at a time when women’s issues were becoming more prevalent in society. Later in 1972, two 31-year-old singers whose paths had crossed musically a year earlier would coincidentally get their own first No. In that song, McLean repeatedly used the refrain “the day the music died” to capture the impact of the simultaneous losses of all three musicians. 1 song of 1972 was Don McLean’s “American Pie,” the classic tune that metaphorically told the story of the day in 1959 when a plane crash took the lives of rock and roll legends Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens.
