Helen
Maxine Reddy(born 25 October 1941) is an Australian-American singer, actress
and activist. Born in Melbourne, Victoria to a show-business family, Reddy
started her career as an entertainer at age four. She sang on radio and
television, and won a talent contest on a television program, Bandstand, in
1966; her prize was a ticket to New York City and a record audition, which
turned out to be unsuccessful. She pursued her international singing career by
moving to Chicago and, subsequently, Los Angeles, where she made her debut
singles "One Way Ticket" and "I Believe in Music" in 1968
and 1970, respectively. The B-side of the latter single, "I Don't Know How
to Love Him" reached No. 13 in Canadian pop chart RPM and she was signed
to Capitol Records a year later.
During
the 1970s, she enjoyed international success, especially in the United States
where she placed 15 singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Six made
the Top 10 and three reached No. 1, including her signature hit "I Am
Woman". She placed 25 songs on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart; 15
made the Top 10 and eight reached No. 1, six consecutively. In 1974, at the
inaugural American Music Awards, she became the first artist to win the award
for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist. In television, she was the first
Australian to host her own one-hour weekly primetime variety show on an
American network, along with several specials that were seen in more than 40
countries.
Between
the 1980s and 1990s, as her single "I Can't Say Goodbye to You"
became her last to chart in the U.S., she acted in musical theatres and
recorded a few albums such as Center Stage before retiring from live
performance in 2002. She
returned to university in Australia and earned her degree, and practised as a
clinical hypnotherapist and motivational speaker. In 2011,
after singing "Breezin' Along with the Breeze" with her half-sister, Toni
Lamond, for Lamond's birthday, Reddy decided to return to live performing.
Her song
"I Am Woman" played a large role in popular culture and became an
anthem for second-wave feminism. She came to be known as a "feminist
poster girl" or a "feminist icon". In 2011, Billboard named her
the No. 28 adult contemporary artist of all time (No. 9 woman). In 2013 the
Chicago Tribune dubbed her as the "Queen of '70s Pop".
You’re
not a dream, you’re not an angel, you’re a woman
I’m not a king, I’m a man, take my hand
We’ll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we’ll stay until it’s time for you to go
Yes we’re different, worlds apart, we’re not the same
We laughed and we played at the stars like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
And hear you’ll stay until it’s time to go
Don’t ask why
Don’t ask how
Don’t ask forever
Don’t ask now
This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end
I was an aok, now I’m a willow, now can I bend
And though i’ll never in my life see you again
Still I’ll stay until it’s time to go
Don’t ask why of me
Don’t ask how of me
Don’t ask forever of me
Love me now
You’re not a dream, you’re not an angel, you’re a
woman
I’m not a king, I’m a man, take my hand
We’ll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we’ll stay until it’s time for you to go.
