most notable as Helen Reddy's first hit?

I'm deleting the above assertion from the article's intro. I've retained a mention of Reddy's version in the article's intro but feel I'm evincing no disrespect by deleting the subjective assertion that the chief significance of I Don't Know How to Love Him is that the song afforded Reddy her first hit. I am the editor who set up the section for the Reddy version and am responsible for most of that section's contents and also the infobox. With my awareness of Reddy's version I feel I'm acting fairly in deleting the assertion: "Most notably, this was the tune that launched the career of Helen Reddy" on the grounds that it's fancruft.Cherrylimerickey (talk) 23:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appropriate sections for info

Just to gently stress that the article's set up in sections for theatrical & non-theatrical versions as some editors seem to be adding versions indiscriminately. There may be some cases where the appropriate section is a judgment call but I've previously had to delete the Agnetha Faltskog version from the non-theatrical section when it was already entered in the theatrical section (Faltskog originated the Magdalene role in the Swedish production of JCS) & I have just had to move the info re Polish Idol Alicja Janosz' performance from the theatrical section to the non-.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 21:34, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing information

It's remarkable that this 32k article does not have any description of the arrangement, tempo, or overall theme of the song. bd2412 T 14:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Variations to lyrics?

This may not be very important but it may be worth incorporating in the article. In the Guardian recently somebody claimed that a low point of representations of Mary Magdalene is this song with its line "I've had so many men before is very many ways". I wondered if I was suffering from false memory, since I remembered it as "I've know so many men before in oh so many ways", which you can read a lot into, but is slightly less explicit. Checking on youtube, Mel C's version is as stated in the Guardian, but there is a recording of Petula Clark from 1972 which has the version I remember.

Genre??

By what strange criterion is the genre of this song or single release categorized as “folk”? I will change it soon, and unless somebody has a better idea, to perhaps “Art Rock” as the album is categorized. Let me know David Couch (talk) 09:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
