She was simply lovely in so many ways. I don’t want to think of her as gone. 😢

I'm one of the women who she inspired with I Am Woman. It many years later got me through my Computer Science degree at the age of 45 in 2006.

Instantly recognisable voice which immediately takes you back to days in the mid 70s.

I saw her live on her last tour in Agoura Hills, CA at a small club. She sang the %&#$ paint off the walls - she was early 70s and still had every bit of her awesome talents. And was absolutely charming. She should be in the RRHOF without question.

Helen and Karen Carpenter both shared a clarity of tone and range. Neither of them ever had to struggle to hit notes. They both made everything look and sound easy.

Everything she sang was beautiful. A unique voice so lovely.

Helen along with John Denver were really the sounds of my childhood

Without a doubt, the best vocal of that great composition, what a strong pleasing voice she had.

Helen is important in the career of Olivia Newton John, firstly after Olivia failed to win the Eurovision Song Contest, she had her first big hit in the USA, Helen advised her to relocate to the USA to be available there. Later in the 70s Helen invited Olivia to a dinner party, Alan Carr was there,struggling to find a leading lady for Grease, he found Olivia that night

She wasn't all over the place or straining her voice or sounding constipated and sang this song to perfection. One of THE most beautiful songs from Andrew Lloyd Weber and the best rendition in my opinion.

Amazing voice. Timeless. RIP Helen.

Pure clean notes without all the face scrunches, warbles, trills, etc., that current artists feel the need to express. I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.

I really like the way you can watch her facial expressions close-up. She is telling the story while she sings and her attitude comes through both in her face and in the sound of her voice.

Saw her a few times at the corner shop on Darling Point Road, Sydney when she lived across the road 10-12 years ago. She was always smiling.

Our man Fil has a lot of depth. He specializes in hard rock guitar, vocals, etc.....---but he has a deep appreciation for multi genres of contemporary music.

I always loved her voice,and her hit "Angie Baby",always captivated me,the mood ,sung so beautifully.

Such an amazing performance. I remember being mesmerized by this when I was a kid, even though the lyrics had no meaning for me yet.

Helen had a very distinctive voice. Clear, controlled, powerful and expressive. A string of so many memorable hit records. Good stuff. Well done Helen. Great analysis Fil! 🎼🎶🎶🇨🇦

I had such a crush on Helen Reddy, back in the 70's. This video reminds me very much why that was so. She was so beautiful, all around.

God bless the authentic and talented Helen Reddy.

Her singing voice got my attention for it's forthright unique beauty and rhythm!

Best female singer I've ever heard. I fell in love with her voice when I was about 12. The sweetest singing voice. Thank you for covering Helen. She and Mac Davis passed away on the same day - September 29, 2020.

Once heard never forgotten she was “Woman” and a very special one who achieved the heights making the songs her own in a very individual stand out way. RIP Ms. Reddy you were a great.

Strong voice, strong lady.

May God be with her. Her voice touches my soul.

She had such a distinctive voice. A wonderful voice. Thank you for featuring her.

Thank you so much. Such a beautiful voice.

I remember when Helen won the Grammy and she thanked "God for She makes all things possible". It created a lot of comments. A strong woman and a beautiful voice!

In my humble opinion, Helen Reddy was the most underrated female singer of the rock era bar none! She had more hits than most of the so called "more popular singers", she had a better voice, and sold more records than they did! Not to mention Helen was the first Australian to win a Grammy, she has a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, she was the first pop female singer to win an American Music Award, she was the first western singer to be invited to sing in China, she had the second most Top 20 hits on the Hot 100 in the 70s next to Olivia Newton John (who only had more because she did a few duets and weren't solo performance) etc. etc. etc. R.I.P. Helen, you were the best!

She was a national treasure in Australia with a very distinct voice. Love Angie Baby and I am Woman. Great Analysis🤟

Beautiful... just beautiful. I grew up in her era... her ‘I Am Woman’ was our generation’s theme song. RIP Ms. Reddy... thanks for a great review.

for me its the magical/emotional feeling her singing gives to the song..

Helen Reddy had one of the most distinct and recognizable voices in recording history…unmistakable, like Peter Cetera, Roy Orbison, Bing Crosby, Julie Andrews, Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Cash.

What a beautiful lady ❤️❤️ She had such a strong voice. I remember listening to her when I was just a kid. RIP sweet lady.

Great Australian Singer I grew up in her era and was a fan of hers read a story on her only a few months ago how she gave it all away and came home t Australia to retire and lead a simple life. Thank you Phil for recognizing her. RIP Helen.

Because there is none more respectful than you Fil, I knew you'd do a Helen Reddy analysis following her death. I wouldn't have figured it would be this performance. Thanks for the video and explaining why Helen was so good to those who may not have known.

Thanks for showcasing Helen's talent. She did the song great justice. She will be missed. RIP Helen.❤

Wow!! This one followed another one, and I've only just discovered it. What a beast performance. I will share this forever. Everybody needs to hear this performance.

Helen Reddy was a huge party of my musical memory. I heard her on the radio all through my school years in NZ. Interesting to see that someone I enjoyed so much had so much real skill to back that popularity

So sad to have lost Helen Reddy and Mac Davis so close to one another. Two top tier artists that I grew up with. Brings my own mortality into focus.

The music from the sevenths was so great, probably the best of the decades, before and after!!! My favorite from Helen Reddy was “ I Am Woman “ . I was in my late 20 early 30 in the 70. It was a great time to live when it came to music and dancing❤️❤️

She made it look/sound so easy. You ears are amazing. You hear every nuance. Thank God there wasnt autotone then. We heard real talent and ability then, which was pretty cool.

Thank you so much for covering Helen Reddy. An exceptional 70s singer with a velvet voice. She was a tremendous success here in the states. We enjoyed her music immensely. Another huge loss for the music world. Very good analysis of Helen's music ability. She had proper vocal and body techniques that you pointed out. Cheers.

Outstanding analysis and history of Helen's life.

A great woman ... her voice is wonderful your excellent comments also the selection of the song you chose is fantastic and I think it is better and with more feeling than Yvonne Elliman one of the best songs of the 70s no more words ... rest in peace HELEN REDDY...🎙🎤💔💔💔💔😓😓🕆🕆🕆

She sings so effortlessly, such an amazing voice. Thank you Fil. I really liked the song You and me against the world, that was my favorite song of hers, rest well Helen, you've been loved by millions, rest well.

I am old enough to have enjoyed her string of hits when they came out. She was a remarkable singer with a distinctive voice. Thanks, Fil. She was one of the greats.

Fil, I have a special needs (autistic) son who is now 30 years old. Growing up, he loved to watch many movies over and over! One of his favorite movies was a Disney movie 'Pete's Dragon'. Of course, Helen was one of the stars and sang several songs in it. But the one song she sang (and I heard it so many times!) that I vividly remember was 'Razzle Dazzle Day'. What memories! Thanks for this great analysis!!

Amazing voice and an amazing woman. RIP🕊

I was nine when this song came out, although I can remember hearing it throughout my youth. Growing up as a hard rock Child of the 70s and 80s. Secretly back then I always loved Helen's voice and songs🙂

Another damn sad loss to music and all Fil! What an absolutely incredible voice this lady had! Hats off to my mum again for introducing me to her beautiful voice at a young age! Sensational Fil! Cheers Mario! 👌👌

She was soooo wonderful. and totally meant that. 😢🤗💕 Her softness, was just perfect.

She was amazing. Fascinating history of how she became successful. Thanks for the analysis.

Thank you for highlighting Helen Reddy. She's been one of my favorite female singers since I was a teen. At the time she was popular, the music industry was stacked with female talent: Bette Midler, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, etc., but she stood out because of the purity of her voice. She could belt them out and was in a class of her own. It's funny that you noticed that she sung from her diaphragm! My dad first introduced the practice to me when we watched old Doris Day movies. He pointed out that you'd never see Doris take a breath because she pushed it out from her diaphragm. So, I immediately noticed Helen doing the same thing! Thanks, for giving some of Helen's history. I always found it very interesting. She never got the accolades she deserved. Her rendition of "Somewhere in the Night" remains my favorite.

These performances touch me as no other can. Nothing like that today. Great analyses Fil, thanks.

Takes me back to my mom jamming to her Helen Reddy 8 track tapes while she would clean the house. The sound of her voice is so unique. Absolutely beautiful unique tone. I'm six years old again for a split second. I also remember her in Pete's Dragon. Her voice is the sound of my youth forgotten.

I was a child of the 70s and always loved seeing Helen perform. She has a very natural singing voice. I was very sad when she passed. I just finished watching a movie about her life on Netflix called "I Am Woman" it was a great movie. R.I.P. Helen. I miss you.😪

Love you commentary and your show...thanks for the wisdom and professionalism you bring with such enthusiasm. Helen Reddy was amazing.

Her voice was so clean and clear, and her range was amazing. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you for your work.

Just watched the video of Helen singing 'Don't Cry for me Argentina' when she is a little older ( 40s?). She did a stunning job and did some belting out.

Excellent breakdown of Helen Reddy vocals Fil. Helen was another artist that held her own in the music/entertainment industry. always like her version of this song. "Rest in Peace" Helen great to have television and film footages of artist to look back on.

Great pick....RIP, Helen. First I wanted to hear, 'You And Me Against The World".

I can understand why you would want to play it all the way through, you can’t help but want to hear more. Helen Reddy’s voice and even her expressions as she’s singing pulls you in.

hEY wINGS , THANK YOU FOR THE TRIBUTE TO THIS GENIUS OF SONG

From an era when singers could actually sing .

So many artists that created the soundtrack of my life, our lives, are leaving us at a too rapid rate lately and it's like a punch in the gut😢. Thanks Fil for easing the pain a little. 🤘

R.I.P Helen. One of my favs growing up.

Thanks for the review and analysis. Informative and convincing. Although a superstar, Helen Reddy is a terribly under-recognized, under-appreciated artist.

So sad she passed! I loved her music. This is my favorite song❤️❤️

You make music so much deeper beyond the performance. Your analysis gives a multifaceted view of the hidden talents of artists we almost take for granted. Cheers!

Fil, I love your analysis, but sometimes I can't wait to get through it because I can't wait to go back and listen again. This was one of those times. She really grabbed my heart with this one.

I like she just sang the song, she didn’t make any body or hand motions. Just sang it cleanly. To me, it makes listening to her wonderful vocals easier than if there were distractions to watch.

She’s so beautiful in addition to everything you said. Thank you Fil.♥️🥰

Thank you for this very loving and insightful look at the talents and unique gifts Helen had. I am 59 and from the US and was a fan from the very beginning, from this actual song. Every time I hear this song I want to cry. She not only has such great technique but amazing emotive ability. Just as an FYI here in the US it was not just a tv special but a comedy/variety series that ran an entire summer. She was overlooked at the time and was such an influence on my life. I am so happy to see people showing their appreciation of her now that she sadly has passed. I am also thrilled for her that at the end she was content and overjoyed having wonderful relationships with her 2 children. She was diagnosed with dementia 5 years ago and it seemed her last day was spent with her daughter and she was able to take it all in. Thanks for this. Your love for her talent touches me kind soul. When we can share such joy and passion thru the gift of music it is a special gift. Thanks for passing it on.

I constantly listened to the radio in that period of my life: in the car, at home, at work, etc. More than once I had to collect myself and my goosebumps when this song was played. She was a consummate performer and her facial expressions during this performance perfectly coincided with the sentiments she sang. And there you have it. Thank you for this special analysis of this special lady, Fil.

The first time I've noticed her Australian accent (I'm a Kiwi) - and I grew up with her songs.

Thanks so much for this lovely analysis, especially the breathing explanation. This song was iconic for me when it came out. I think it was the only one I knew by Helen. Always remembered her wonderful voice.

Thank you for that beautiful tribute to Helen. She would’ve been proud!

Thank you so much for choosing this song. I had concentrated on her breakout hit/anthem since her passing. I had completely forgotten this original gem of perfection. Smooth clear calm effortless range. A person like I, who can only play the stereo, does not always appreciate how truly gifted a performer is. But, I do notice 'prepackaged', entirely technically created garbage. Helen was, bless her, the real deal. TgT

Hi Fil! She had such a distinctive voice...I really loved her singing, and the way she delivered the songs! Thanks for remembering her! Btw...Angie Baby was one of my favorites of hers...such a strange song but I loved it! She will be missed! ✌️

I loved her singing.She was an inspiration for women everywhere. Your analysis is spot on.

Now that your analysis's are less frequent, I really look forward to them a lot! Thank you for helping me to understand and appreciate the songs I've listened to all my life.

Helen Reddy was a 70's gem.

Another remarkable vocalist from the best decade for vocalists. Yes the 70's...gave popular music so many of its greatest tunes. I am blessed to have come of age in that remarkable era...

Loved her in pete's dragon ♥️ so sad to hear she passed away 💔

Thank you so much for this tribute and all the information and instructional comments. I Am Woman was a big influence in my life in my tender teen years. She, along with Heart and Tina Turner, gave me courage to pursue things I may not have otherwise.

She was the first album i had when i was 6.Loved her voice!! She also was in 1977 Pete's Dragon. RIP Helen. Gonna be missed.

Thank you for acknowledging the Queen of 70s Pop! I have been her number 1 fan since 1971 since this song came out! She is absolutely one of the best female singers of all time! If you have an questions let me know! You're My World was another big hit for Helen where I personally think was her best vocal performance! Love this tribute and thank you again!

Wow, Thank you great analysis of Australia’s Queen of Pop and also especially her history. I still listen to her music it brings back so much memories of the 70s and 80s in my teens when we only could afford to listen to music on the radio in cats and at home.

I've watch your analysis and Helen Reddy's performance several times now. excellent job on pointing out the little details that I have miss in the past.

There is no other female singer in my life that move my heart every time I hear her songs.

Helen Reddy is as good as Streisand in my opinion. Strong controlled and seriously has the mojo on top of it. She's a super star!

She passed away oh no she had such a beautiful voice

Loved Helen Reddy. Great analysis of her sweet, simple style.

Thank you !!! I am so glad to see your generation see the amazing talent t hat seems to have been forgotten

AHhh... the incredible Helen Reddy... who doesn't love her? Beautiful voice, beautiful and talented woman and a HUGE voice for equality and justice for not only women but for all. As an advocate for social justice and human rights, Hellen Reddy is one of my heroes. Love this song so much, so beautiful, just wonderful. RIP Ms. Reddy.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you have showcased Helen Reddy. The last time I had thought about her was in high school; you have reminded me what an influence she had been on my childhood. I've been watching her videos all week. Thank you!

When I was a young kid, my dad was working some distance away so my mom and I would drive down regularly to be with him. and she had an 8-track of Helen Reddy's hits, which I listened to endless times during those drives.

An absolute icon! Helen was an immense talent! May she rip ✨

Absolutely fascinating. Definitely one of my favorite analysis. That business with the breathing/ diaphram actually explained something visually to me, I was unable to comprehend despite many 'vocal coach' videos trying. LOL, Fil + a tight fitting top = ah ha clarity ! As for Helen, she was immaculate in what she did, and her voice had just a hint of nasality that provided some added interest and distinction to her work. I know what I like, but I don't always know exactly why. That's where these videos come in.
