WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE
We'll Sing in the Sunshine is an album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1978 by Capitol Records and included two songs that were also covered by Johnny Mathis in the first half of that year: "All I Ever Need" and "Ready or Not". Reddy also ventures into Beatles territory with their rockabilly number "One After 909" and takes on Jeff Lynne's "Poor Little Fool" with accompaniment in the vein of Electric Light Orchestra. This was her first album that did not reach Billboard's Top LP's & Tapes chart. (More from Wikipedia)
As I remember, the interview that was spread across the cover of Living in the Streets was where I first learned that Kim Fowley had worked with Helen Reddy, of "I Am Woman" fame – specifically, her albums Ear Candy (1977) and We'll Sing In The Sunshine (1978). Of the long list of musicians and bands who worked with Kim – and there have been dozens of them that I have learned about myself – she is the most surprising.
