Hey Guys,
Helen Reddy appeared on Sesame Street twice, Once singing "Wonder Child" and once singing "I Make Up Songs".

I believe these were in the 70's, And were sung live on the show. They later were released on ' The Stars Come Out On Sesame Street' LP.

Does anyone know if Helen did anything else on the show ?

Also, What was it like when she sung those songs ?
Scenery, Muppets etc ?


Thanks !

I know that on "Wonder Child," she was just solo in an empty room, with a microphone in her hand.

There was a real song of hers that was parodied. It was a song called "I Am Chicken," I believe it went to the tune of "I Am Woman."

SSetta,

Hi,
Yeah i believe that was released on one of the CD's... I have it around here somewhere.

But im more interested in her Appearances on the show. I think that she sung 'I Make Up Songs' on the show too.

Someone told me that they also remember her talking or singing with Kermit on Sesame Street.

see ya

I would've loved to see Helen singing on Sesame Street.

But I remember the Muppet chicken singing that song. It was a cool song and I had no idea it was a Helen Reddy song also. :smile:
