Rachel sweet biography

Rachel Sweetis an American singer, television writer and actress.


Rachel Sweetwas a 16-year-old with a powerful voice reminiscent of Brenda Lee's barrelhouse alto when she released her first album in 1978.

The album, Fool Around, was notable for her renditions of the country-flavored compositions of her Svengali-like producer, Liam Sternberg, as well as a riveting update of the 1960s Carla Thomas hit "B-A-B-Y." The highly irreverent label for which she recorded, England's Stiff Records, made much of her youth, marketing the sex appeal of her voice and perpetrating a jailbait sexpot image for the young singer.

She recorded three more albums before abandoning music to focus on acting in movies, including Second Chance with Gene Hackman and Ann Margaret, and television series like Seinfeld. She also did cartoon voiceovers and worked as a television writer, producer, and director on such series as Sports Night, Dharma and Greg, and The Naked Truth.
