Play Me Out is the thirteenth studio album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1981 by MCA Records. Having recorded 12 studio albums at Capitol Records over a 10-year period, she felt the move was "'long overdue... For the last three years I didn't feel I was getting the support from them.'" [3] Whatever support she received from the new label was not enough to get the album onto Billboard magazine's Top LPs & Tape chart. [4]
The album includes the song that was her last to reach Billboard's Hot 100 [5] and Adult Contemporary charts. [6] "I Can't Say Goodbye to You" made its pop chart debut in the issue of the magazine dated May 23, 1981, and peaked at number 88 during its three weeks there. [5] That same issue also marked its first appearance on the Adult Contemporary chart, where it spent four weeks and got as high as number 42. [6] It also reached number 43 on the UK singles chart. [7]
The album's producer, Joel Diamond, had helmed a recording of " Save Me" by Donna McDaniel in 1977 [8] that got as high as number 90 on the Hot 100, [9] but MCA did not release Reddy's cover from this album as a single. Country artist Louise Mandrell did, however, have a number six Country hit with it two years after the release of this album, in 1983. [10]
