1* CoveredUp:
2** "Delta Dawn" was first recorded by its writer, Alex Harvey.[[note]]The singer-songwriter from Tennessee, not the singer from Scotland who led The Sensational Alex Harvey Band[[/note]] Creator/BetteMidler sang it on ''Series/TheTonightShowStarringJohnnyCarson''. Having watched Midler's performance, producer Billy Sherrill tried to sign her and have her record the song in Nashville, but Midler had already signed with another label, so Sherrill had Tucker record it as her debut single instead. Tucker's version became a Top 10 hit on the Country chart (and a minor hit on the Pop charts). A year later Helen Reddy recorded it, with an arrangement that replicated Tucker's almost note-for-note, and it became a #1 Pop hit.
3** "Don't Go Out" was originally by Foster & Lloyd.
4** "You Just Watch Me" was originally released by Libby Hurley.
5** Both of the singles off ''Fire to Fire'': "Between the Two of Them" was originally cut by Music/{{Alabama}}, and "Find Out What's Happening" by Bobby Bare. Barbara Fairchild and Pearl River also recorded versions.
