Description

Helen Maxine Reddy was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on October 25, 1941 to a show-business family. Helen started her career as an entertainer at age four while traveling with her parents. She sang on the radio and television and eventually won a talent contest on the television program Bandstand in 1966; her prize was a ticket to New York City, some cash and a record audition, which proved to be little more than a lie. The label executive told Helen, over lunch, that she had a great voice, but there was no room for another girl singer on the label.
