Yes, very underrated. Her version of 'Shadows of the Night' is far better than Benatar's. I think if Columbia and her management had done a better job, she'd been a superstar. She could sing anything, play 'Stranger in the House' and everyone would think she was a country singer. I think she was only 16 when her 1st record came out. A big voice from a small package.
AAWWW Awsume since a bort Rachels [ i Go to Pieces bk in late 70s] fell in love wit her. Sheeees so special, that voice, the Smile wud melt butter the Cutie had the whole Pakage, she shud ave bin a mega star wiv a sring of huge hits, have a 12 yr old lad that loves Rachel to death. Thanks Rachel for so much pleasure, and hope that life is kind to u Lol God Bless U XX
@Tony70504 your right tony. she has the looks, the voice, she is just everything in a little package, it's a shame she wasnt in the spot light alot more. she is much much better than alot of these stars now a days.
@elfshortyblue Thanx For Your Reply Elf Your So Rite, She Had Everything,She Captivated You, I tHINK [Stiff] Handled Her Wrong, She Shud Have Been Up There With Mariah Carey Leavin Behind A LegacyThat Operatic Voice The Smile Flick Of Her Hair She Captivated You Not Bad Luking Either EhEh, I Think Shes Married With 2 Kids Ive Got A Photo Of Her Now Love U to See IT I could Get IT to You By Email iF You Wanted Im Also A Big Beatle Fan Sumone Has To Be HaHA
one of my fav singers! such a beautiful voice & so kute! does anyone know what happend to "the sweet life" that was on here? why isnt it on you tube anymore?!
Growing up in the late Seventies, I really thought Rachel Sweet was hot. She must have been sixteen or seventeen when she did this. Hard to believe she went from America to England's Stiff Records to become a singing star. Why she never caught on her in America, I'll never know.
By the way, Rachel's still around. Only this time, she's working as a writer and producer for American TV shows like "Dharma and Greg".
@poughkeepsiejohn1 According to IMDB she's now married and has two kids. In any case, I wish her all the best. Thank you, Rachel. Your performance has definitely stolen my heart.
I luv this song. Rachel Sweet haves a beautiful voice. And she sang great songs too. It's a major shame that she is so underrated. But I still love her. =)~
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
this song sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
How, in the name of all thats holy, didnt this girl make it to the very very top. Got all her albums in the late 70s. Britney Spears, watch this and learn....Sorry Babe but you are not fit to lace this babes boots.
New age from Protect the Innocent is another gem.

I wouldn't say she has a raspy voice.
More twangy imo. Very nice,indeed.

Sounds like Susanna Hoofs of The Bangles, a little better IMO.

There were so many raspy-voiced female singers in the early 1980s. There was Rachel, Bonnie Tyler, Kim Carnes, and Stevie Nicks!

I wonder if there was a video made of Shadows of the Knight too? The one Pat Benatar had a huge hit with later?
What a great voice this girl had, and the looks to go with it too
