Pat Riot Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I remember the first time I heard her song "I am woman". I was just a kid. I always liked her. I guess I even had a crush on her. I distinctly recall my Mom listening to the radio and that song came on and my Dad walked over and changed the station. My Mom changed it back. There were some harsh words spoken and then my Mom took the pot of chili she was making and dumped it in the sink and she told my Dad "Make your own damn lunch" and walked out. My Dad was an ass. Yes, Ms. Reddy had an impact. Rest In Peace, Helen Reddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 One of those singers with an instantly recognizable voice, like Siantra or Streisand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that is when she knew she had truly had an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 She was singing "standards" in the Rainbow Room With Stars at Radio City Music Hall in January 1966. She had gained a bit of weight (and who hasn't?) but the voice was still great. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nice voice stilled. Her and Anne Murray were hits around the same time period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Another one my age. Is this an omen? I likes some of her stuff, some not so much. All in all, much better than today's "talent". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
