Helen Reddy S/D

Let's not start with the obvious.... here, she and her pals are "out of their mescaline minds."

i just traded in this record only yesterday.. did i make a mistake?

I remember when she was on the Muppet Show, and about 85% of the gags were puns on her surname (e.g., "We can't start until Helen is ready!")

she was wise

reportedly got Olivia Newton-John to the States too

Al Green, Helen Reddy and Three Dog Night performed at the first "New Year's Rockin' Eve." It remains the most popular New Year's Eve program to this day.

Two of her 80s albums were produced by Kim Fowley, I always thought that was kinda wtf. And Jeff Lynne wrote a very ELO-like song for her.

omg @ that mescaline song

Pretty short thread. Some recent comments on other threads making me revisit this stuff for the first time since I heard it on the radio back in the day.

The tracks verge on being a little generic but the vocals pretty well done, kind of straight ahead, but still artful somehow. Says I after listening to a few Greatest Hits.

I can't think of anything more to say about Helen Reddy, but now I'm laughing at the fact that Dr Morbius started this thread

Ha, was going to summon you, maybe even finally start the Ask Josefa thread to do so, and also found the identity of the threadstarter amusing.

I play "Keep On Singing" on jukeboxes whenever possible. Just looking it up now, the tune was co-written by Bobby Hart of Boyce & Hart.
