Love Song for Jeffrey is the fifth studio album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy, released on March 25, 1974, by Capitol Records.[3] The album focused on her family, giving special attention to those who had died within the past year. A tribute on the back cover reads: "In memory of my mother, Stella Lamond Reddy, July 1973, my father, Max Reddy, September 1973, and my beloved aunt, Helen Reddy Sr., January 1974."
The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart in the issue dated April 20, 1974, and reached number 11 during its 35 weeks there.[4] Six weeks later, on June 6, the Recording Industry Association of America awarded the album with Gold certification for sales of 500,000 copies in the United States,[5] and in Canada it peaked at number six on RPM magazine's album chart in September of that year.[6] On January 27, 2004, it was released for the first time on compact disc as one of two albums on one CD, the other album being her other 1974 release, Free and Easy.[7]
