John Garabedian plays Helen Reddy’s exquisite rendition of Paul Wailliams’ “You and Me Against the World.” https://www.allmusic.com/…/helen-reddys-greatest-hits… My second favorite Reddy performance after “Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady” written by my very dear friend Harriet Schock. When I gave Helen my New Changes album outside of her hotel in Boston she autographed an album for me. I wanted her to sign Harriet Schock’s Hollywood Town lp with “Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady” but she said to me “Have Harriet sign it.” They were friends. I did Helen one better, in May of 1991 I met Harriet at a convention in Los Angeles and we became friends. I had covered “Love Song to Jeffrey” written by Helen on my New Changes disc and gave Helen the album. Little Richard was in my elevator, he lived atop the Hyatt where we were staying (as Paul Shaffer lives atop the Gramercy Park in NY, where we met him!) I asked Little Richard for his autograph, he said “I’ll see you here again” but I never did. Oh well, got to talk to him!!! It is now called the Andaz by Hyatt at 8401 Sunset Blvd. https://www.hyatt.com/andaz/laxss-andaz-west-hollywood My tribute to Helen is here: https://joeviglione.com/?p=1848 Dare I tell you, she played a drag queen/ s & m bar in Boston, The Haymarket on Washington St., doing Track, without her orchestra but singing to tracks of her records. There were six or seven drag queens dressed like Helen at the front of the stage handing her roses. Before she went into “I Am Woman” she said to the queens “I guess this is why y’all came.” It was a fantastic show.
