Rachel Sweet started in showbiz when she was six-years-old. She sang commercials until she was 10. From the age of 10, she opened shows for the likes of Bill Cosby and Mickey Rodney, until she was 12. At 12, Rachel sang country & western until she was 15. From 15 on, it was rock ’n’ roll. At 16, she landed a contract with Stiff Records, played the Bottom Line with the successful “Be Stiff’ tour in late 1978, and we caught up with her at CBS for this quick interview.
