Deidre Thornell Delta Dawn Cover Video - Watch Now!

"Delta Dawn" is a song that was written by a former child rockabilly star, Larry Collins and songwriter Alex Harvey. "Delta Dawn" is best known as a top ten country hit for Tanya Tucker in 1972, and a NUMBER 1 hit for Helen Reddy in 1973! Bette Midler also put the song in her live repertoire before it became a country hit for Tanya. Alex Harvey performed this tune at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN and he explained the TRUE inspiration for the song when he introduced it as his last song in the round. "Delta Dawn" is not about Mary Magdalene or Rose Taylor MacKensie, but was in fact inspired by Harvey's own mother. She grew up in West TN and married Harvey's father who was from an upper class family. She was never truly accepted by her husband's family and struggled with depression. She committed suicide when Harvey was only a boy. It was a terribly tragic and moving story and makes the song appreciated in an entirely new light. ------------------------------------------------------- Please like, comment, share and S U B S C R I B E to my channel! www.facebook.com/deidrethornell www.deidrethornell.com www.instagram.com/deidre_thornell www.twitter.com/deidrethornell
