Wish American Idol was around in the late 70's, She would put every one of the winners to SHAME !

I heard her in the basement of George Cabaniss ... he played for Hammer Damage band in Silver Lake, Ohio, Hammer damage was trying out for her band. George also toured with the dead boy's. Rachel had a killer voice and George played a mean guitar who knows what would have happen if she would have choose Hammer Damage. i loved her version of Elvis Costello's Allison. She had a power voice for a little girl!

@louisvillelamb ... Me too ... Fool Around was such an unusuallly distinctive sounding album, and one of my most played and favourite albums ever. Wayne

Must have been her choice of material that just didn't catch on back then.There were a lot of girl singers back then as I recall.

Little Jewish girl from Ohio. Loved her album FOOL AROUND!

She reminded me of our generation's version of Brenda Lee. Hugely talented, big-voiced singer in a child-like body. The difference is Sweet somehow never managed the mega success she was destined for and capable of.

1978? I never heard of her. Why is that, I wonder?

Is The Nashville Rooms still standing,btw?

I read about this venue many times back in the day and features a lot in the London punk story.
