The B-side of the latter single, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” reached No. 8 in Canadian pop chart RPM and she was signed to Capitol Records a year later. During the 1970s, she enjoyed international success, especially in the United States where she placed 15 singles on the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Six made the Top 10 and three reached No. 1, including her signature hit “I Am Woman”.
