First album I ever bought was "I Am Woman". While in collage, I was convinced by a female classmate that men would like this album too.
I've always liked the follow up single "Peaceful" written by Kenny Rankin. The album also introduced me to songs like Leon Russell's "This Masquerade" and Don McLean's "And I Love You So".
Very saddened by her passing, especially after learning dementia was involved. Hopefully, she has found her peaceful place.
