Just spent an hour listening to prime cuts off of Rachelle's albums with Columbia. Read outstanding reviews across the spectrum. I think she's fabulous. Also, think Lisa Fisher (I Can't Stand The Pain-1991) Was an under appreciated vocalist, although she did have a # 1 song in 1991. Fran will appreciate her outfits over the years; especially on an award show singing "I Can't Stand the Pain).
The girl (Rachelle) does take chances, and sometimes she misses the mark, but she's a singer's singer. I'm looking into bringing her to Lexington for a performance with the Philharmonic. I will foot the bill.
So there!
