原是與兩位胞妹共同組成之一支三人女子民歌組合Tripod Cauldrons成員的她,於1970年Life Records (麗風唱片)出版的《First Folk Album》及《Second Folk Album》這兩冊LP合集中,被獲邀灌唱了以組合名義面世的"Sorrow"及"Jesse James"這兩首歌曲。
1971年麗風唱片為李貝妮出版了其首張的個人七吋單曲唱片《One Day Love 朝暮情╱FS-3》,製作人是其經理人梁柏濤 Pato Leung;Side 1歌曲是同年先前全歐洲歌唱大賽(Eurovision Song Contest)中代表愛爾蘭參賽女歌手Angela Farrell演繹的"One Day Love",Side 2則是一首以唱述當年美國大盗Jesse James生平事蹟的同名民謠歌曲"Jesse James"。

隨後的1972年,她的首張個人七吋EP專集《Over And Over》面世,唱片內收錄的三首歌曲"Over And Over"、"Try To Remember"及"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face",全是抄襲了著名希臘女歌手Nana Mouskouri於1969年收錄的其個人十二吋LP專集《Nana Mouskouri Sings Over & Over》內、三首相同歌曲之演繹及伴奏配樂風格模式;其餘一首的"One Day When We Were Young",則是演繹了改編自已故Johann Straus II的原創作品"Wer Uns Getraut"、及經由Oscar Hammerstein II配詞後成為1938年西片〈The Great Waltz〉(華爾滋大王)中、由已故著名英國藝人Gracie_Fields原唱的插曲。而這唱片專集的配樂伴奏,全是由當年的蓮花樂隊(The Lotus)成員担綱,包括了周華年 Wallace Chow(主音結他)、張俊英 David Cheung(鼓)、蘇雄 Danny So(低音結他)及陳占美 Jimmy Chan(鍵琴)。

Was she born in Hong Kong?
