Helen Reddy - Greatest Hits Reviews:
Nice Memories/Good Songs 
2009-02-23 - I'm a big Helen Reddy fan. Her voice is very smooth, yet warm, expressive, and unique. As a kid in 70s, my mother was a big Helen Reddy fan. Yes, my mom is an "I Am Woman" type! She used to play one of Helen's albums and I vividly recall singing along with "Leave Me Alone" and "Delta Dawn" with my sister and brother, not knowing what they were about. But I don't think my appreciation of Helen is just nostalgia. She is a talented lady who had something to say. It would be nice to hear from her again. Remember when pop stars were like that? When they really sang?
HELEN REDDY-GREATEST HITS 
2008-01-20 - I was so happy to have found this item it brought back my teen years and all the wonderful songs. It took me back I love it.
The Queen of 70's Pop at Her Best!
2007-12-16 - Where do I begin? Grammy Award and American Music Award winner. Star on the Walk of Fame. First Australian with her own American TV show. Need I go on? There was no bigger Pop Queen in the 70's than Helen Reddy! With 3 Number Ones on the Hot 100, 9 Number Ones all together and 11 Top 20 pop hits, there was no one bigger. Olivia Newton-John for the most part was a country singer during the 70's. Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco. Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand are iconic for much more than just music. However, Helen Reddy was the Queen of 70's Pop, pure and simple. No one has an angelic voice quite like hers. This collection is a good starter for the new fan. But once you listen to her studio albums, you will be hooked like I was way back in 1971 when she released her first single "I Don't Know How to Love" (which is included here). A MUST IN ANYONE'S FEMALE POP VOCALIST COLLECTION!
Helen Reddy Power
2005-09-28 - It seems as though the era of women's liberation was a long time ago, but of course it was not. Some would argue that women's liberation continues even today. Regardless, Helen Reddy was considered one of the women at the forefront of the battle. Her pop song "I Am Woman" was considered by many to be an anthem for the women's liberation movement. Of course, Helen Reddy sang much more than just that one song, and this collection provides a good selection of Helen Reddy's music.
This CD is heavy with love songs in all their various forms. "I Don't Know How to Love Him," the poignant "You and Me against the World," the poetic "Emotion," the intimate and tender "Somewhere in the Night," which is great mood music, and the tribute to love "You're My World."
"Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)," "Delta Dawn," the surrealistic and fantastic "Angie Baby," Helen Reddy's equivalent of "You're so Vain" is embodied in "Ain't no Way to Treat a Lady," the fast paced song about not putting up with his shenanigans "I Can't Hear You no More," and "Make Love to Me" are about love gone awry, sometimes involving mental illness or a man taking advantage of an innocent girl, and sometimes it involves both.
Other songs deal with miscellaneous subjects. "Keep on Singing" is about the love of music and how music can give you comfort in harsh times. The song "Peaceful" is about living life and stopping to smell the roses and remembering times past and times yet to come. "The Happy Girls" sings about loneliness and finding someone to love, a real someone versus and idealized someone.
My favorite songs are the mellow songs. I think "Peaceful," "You and Me against the World," "I Can't Hear You no More," "Somewhere in the Night," and "The Happy Girls" are the most mellow and prettiest songs on this CD. I think Helen Reddy's voice provides the emotional drive for each of these songs, bringing them to life. All the songs after these are bonus songs in my mind.
Helen Reddy created wonderful, emotional, and powerful pop music. Many of her popular songs are collected here, and this one CD may be sufficient for a casual listener. Ardent fans will probably find this collection a little weak and will either want far more than this collection, or may seek the albums from which these songs came rather than this collection.
Helen Reddy has one of the greatest singing voices and an actual talent for singing
2005-08-25 - It is a rare thing these days to turn on the radio and hear actual talent. More and more "singers" are cropping up every day, none have that rare ability to sing a song so powerfully and yet so naturally. I think that Helen Reddy is probably one of the very few left that have that kind of talent. One is born with talent like that. Anybody can learn to carry a tune,
that doesn't make one a singer. So in response to 'A music fan',
he clearly is'nt.
