==Early years==
Colleen Hewett was born on 16 April 1950 in Bendigo.〔〔〔 She has an older sister, Glenys Hewett, who was a pop vocalist from the early sixties to mid-seventies.〔〔 Hewett began her music career at the age of 12 when she sang with The Esquires at the Bendigo YMCA.〔〔 At about 13 years old she appeared on TV pop music series, ''The Go!! Show'', fifty years later she recalled "I wasn't of an age at that stage where I could go out on tour with anybody () I came down from Bendigo with a band I was working with there () then I came down again around my 14th birthday and did a solo spot on it ... they were just cover versions. I was just a little singer from Bendigo who came down on the train with the boys and did this amazing show that everybody watched".〔
From 1964 to 1966 she regularly performed with The Esquires and, in 1967, she joined a vocal trio, The Creations, with her sister, Glenys, and Michelle Kennedy.〔〔〔 That group also backed various solo singers including Billy Adams and then Buddy England, and thereby toured Australia.〔〔 By April that year, with Kennedy, she joined a soul-based group, Dice, which were renamed as Laurie Allen Revue.〔〔〔 Other members were Laurie Allen (ex-Bobby & Laurie) on lead vocals, lead guitar and organ; Harry Henri on guitar (soon replaced by Phil Manning); Barry Rodgers on bass guitar (soon replaced by Wayne Duncan); and Gary Young on drums.〔〔
In April 1967 Allen had told ''Go-Set'': "I realized just a three piece group couldn't give me the sound I wanted, so I added two girl vocalists, () and (), they are an act in themselves and combined to give us a distinctive sound which can't be done by any Australian group".〔 As a member of the Laurie Allen Revue, Hewett was recorded on three singles, "Beautiful Brown Eyes" (August 1967), "Any Little Bit" (April 1968) and "As Long as I Got You" (June).〔〔〔 By mid-1968 Hewett had joined Ian Saxon and the Sound, with Saxon on lead vocals; Geoff Oakes on saxophone; Graeme Trottman on drums.〔〔 In 1969 Hewett left the group and was replaced on vocals by Marlene Richards (ex-Ivan Dayman Band) before the group recorded their debut single, "Home Cookin'" (1970).〔〔
