Released: August 1981 Rachel Sweet …And Then He Kissed Me Genre: Attempt At Rock Thwarted By The Label And Talent Rating: 1.5 out of 5 Highlights: Shadows Of The Night Streetheart Shadows of the Night - co-written by Sweet and covered/improved by Pat Benatar. Always great to learn something about a favorite. Streetheart - a Sweet tune, written in the vein of the 80s tough ballads delivered in a voice that could not have a clue about the topic. I thought I was going to hear some really great music from this artist. This album is a mix of Sweet's own songs and those foisted upon her by the label. I am not a fan of: 1. 50s schlocky music, esp. that from Phil Spector. (Ronnie had grit, to put up with his (insert rhyming word here) 2. That little girl, sing song delivery that continues today. (a la Spears and all the autotuned Lolitas)
