      @@@piustwelfth It is... I "nivah thawht she hed wahn win Oi wahz yahng, bit she dahz" This is good, because I am so tired of people (either in jest or malice) say "Americans must have the best accent [which is strange because there are at LEAST 12 regional American and Canadian accents], since everyone sings like this", "but she does have a "wigh" of doing her native "eksint" without her being too "hahsh" with "eet". There have been a few other artists who have done this, like the "Goodies" (from Tennessee), "Petula Clark" (from the UK), Brenda Lee (from Georgia, US), and "the Easybeats" (also from Australia). Something like this happens in the UK, too (I've already mentioned some internationals stars, but people from Liverpool sort of sing in a "Scouse" accent, where "peanut" comes out like "penis"and "mother" comes out as "muzzah" (such as Cilla Black and yes, the Beatles).

I happened on this performance by chance and I was mesmerized at how effortlessly powerful her voice was and how stunningly beautiful she was, I fell in love with her.

      @lizzieball3795 3 роки тому +3

      I didn't either. I was about 7 years old,but still appreciated other less talented vocalists. It's upsetting to realize that the media dictated our reality. I wonder how many other Helen Reddy's and David Cassidy's(my favorite)there were who we never heard sing. I also don't understand why she wasn't given more of these kinds of beautiful songs to match he angelic voice instead of many of her other songs which I'm not crazy about. David Cassidy was another underrated artist after his initial teen idol fame. He was dismissed as a former teen idol and never was allowed to regain and not taken seriously despite being a gifted singer guitarist and song writer, even though he continued to record both renditions and original songs long after his early 70's fame.He recorded a rendition of Walk Away Renee,released on an album in 2003.

    A career of talent and hard work.

    I had the privilege of meeting her in about 1972. I was only 11 or 12 and she came to Peoria, IL. My last name started with H and I was wearing a necklace with just a big H. She had already performed and the next singer (Mac Davis) was getting ready to come on. I told my parents I was going to go to the bathroom but instead I went looking for Helen. I couldn’t believe it but I found where she was! There she was eating an ice cream cone and she walked over to where I was standing with a few other people. She signed a small piece of paper that someone gave me. I then gave her my H necklace. I was shaking so bad. She took it and thanked me. I came back to my seat crying and had to tell my parents what happened. I was SO starstruck for weeks! She’s always been a special lady to me. If you’ve read all my story, thank you!😉

Eternity will not be about any of us or what we did. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the lake of fire that burns with sulfur and fire on judgement day.

    I am an Aussie and now 51 years old and GOD how I remember this wonderful voice from my childhood. I grew up with Helen Reddy. As a teen I fell in love with her for being the woman I absolutely wanted to be with. As hard as it may be to believe in the cynical world of 201x, 'I Am Woman' was as much as much a genuinely believed anthem for me and my mates in 1983 as it was our female colleagues - yeah, crazy, shock, horror concepts, 'cause in the 201x world I am an angry old white man who apparently hates everything..... Sadly, that 1983 set of values lasted for MAYBE 3 years in wider society - No, I didn't kill it, YUO probably did. My mates & I were a social abberation in the mid 80's but we were real. We still believe in social justice. We also believe in the opportumity to express divergent opinion, rather than simply complying with the currently accepted narrative. Strangely enough, Ms Reddy stood for pretty much the same constructs in about 1972.... butvthen what would I know... I was only 6 back then, so obviously devoid of intellect...
