[@matthewclark9652]

Reddy's "Don't You Mess With A Woman", I think that Reba McEntire should do the remake as well as Lulu 1981 song "Who's Foolin' Who"!!

[@chasefreak]

I've got an interesting Helen Reddy story. A drummer pal of mine, actually a fantastic session drummer, Joe Correro (played w Paul Revere & The Raiders-yes that's him drumming on Indian Reservation as well as on Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds hit 'Don't pull your Love), was playing drums for Helen Reddy in 1972. Helen's manager was her ex-husband, Jeff, who allowed Joe to drive Helen to gigs. One evening, the powerhouse jazz/rock band 'Chase' opened up for Helen Reddy and Joe Correro was knocked out by the band and asked Bill Chase (leader of the Chase band) who their drummer was to which Chase replied, 'He's just a fill in until we find a drummer!' So, Joe jumped at the opportunity, the only problem was, he was already touring w Helen. Chase asked Joe 'how can he leave Helen and join our band?' Joe said, 'no problem!' So, the next evening, in the middle of a tour, Joe tells Jeff (Helen's husband/manager) that he's leaving Helen and joining Chase. Jeff was so furious, he chased Joe around the parking lot of the hotel they were staying in trying to beat him up. Luckily, Joe got away and drove to Chicago to join Chase. After touring with Chase for about 6 months, Joe heads back to California and begins working with Al Jarreau. Fast forward 5 or 6 years, it's now 1977 or early 1978 and Al Jarreau wins a Grammy. Joe told me he was at the grammies with Al and looked over a few tables and there was Helen and Jeff sitting there. Joe looked over at Helen and smiled and waved and even though over 5 years had passed, she scowled at Joe and looked the other way refusing to acknowledge him.

Someone needs to ask Burt Sugarman WHY he had Helen Reddy on as much as he did - even making her regular host for a year!

[@shyman99]

I can answer that. Helen was by far the most popular female artist in the business at this time. In a one year period, starting in late 1972, she hit #1 with "I Am Woman" & "Delta Dawn". She reached the top 5 with "Leave Me Alone". And the top 20 with "Peaceful". She would continue to churn out hits for years to come.

I believe Helen Reddy was made the permanent host in the summer of in March of 1975 through July of1976. She increased the ratings as Burt was trying widening the audience for increased ratings, I heard her manager was too difficult, and the producers did not like dealing with him, and she made more money going sticking to concert tours as she was a at the top of the charts at the time.
