Gale Sayers
Former Professional American Football Player
Gale Eugene Sayers was an American professional football player who was both a halfback and return specialist in the National Football League. In a relatively brief but highly productive NFL career, Sayers spent seven seasons with the Chicago Bears from 1965 to 1971, though multiple injuries effectively limited him to four full seasons of play, and in the last two seasons appeared in only two games each before deciding to retire during the 1971 season. He was known for his elusiveness and agility, and was regarded by his peers as one of the most difficult players to tackle.

Helen Reddy
Australian Singer

She sang on radio and television, and won a talent contest on a television program, Bandstand, in 1966; her prize was a ticket to New York City and a record audition, which was unsuccessful. She pursued her international singing career by moving to Chicago and, subsequently, Los Angeles, where she made her debut singles "One Way Ticket" and "I Believe in Music" in 1968 and 1970, respectively. The B-side of the latter single, "I Don't Know How to Love Him" reached No. 8 in Canadian pop chart RPM and she was signed to Capitol Records a year later.
