In 1981, Rex Smith teamed up with Rachel Sweet for a cover of the Robert Knight classic “Everlasting Love.” Their version reached #32 on the #Billboard #Top40, fueled by a high-energy music video that showcased their chemistry and Rex’s Broadway performance style. #RexSmith #OneHitWondered

"You Take My Breath Away" was the song that catapulted Rex Smith to national heartthrob status. A massive commercial success, it served as the anchor for that TV movie Sooner or Later, in which Rex starred as the guitar-playing teenager Michael Skye… #RexSmith #OneHitWondered

While Michael Lee Smith was a gritty hard-rockin’ frontman, his younger brother Rex was a ‘Tiger Beat’ teen idol during the late-’70s/early-’80s… Rex took a much more pop-oriented/theatrical path, becoming a household name after starring in the TV movie Sooner or Later. #RexSmith #OneHitWondered

(Did you know that Andy Gibb hosted SOLID GOLD w/ Marilyn McCoo, from 1981-82?). Rex Smith co-hosted from '82-'83.

Here Rex is performing "Solitaire", the lead single of Laura Branigan's 2nd album
