Upon the latter s coronation, she tied the then-record for most No. 1s among solo women, sharing the honor with Cher, Roberta Flack and Connie Francis.
Across her career, Reddy notched 20 career entries on the Hot 100, and 25 million albums sold. She also chalked-up 24 entries on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart, with eight of those topping the tally.
Her place in history was confirmed in 2006 when she was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, and the story of her journey was documented in the 2019 biopic I Am Woman.
Traci Donat will accept the award the Ted Albert Award on behalf of her mother, who, she says, “devoted her life and career to equal rights for all people. And in honoring her you honor not just her music but also what she stood for. We couldn’t be more deeply moved and grateful.”
