UPDATE : Hello Family, thanks for watching my "Rally 4 Rachelle" video and contributing in any way that you have. Below is a personal message from Rachelle Ferrelle that I just discovered on FB on December 30, 2023. I appreciate you watching my video clarion call and sharing it. Meanwhile, check out our new nonprofit, TubmanTillFoundation.org. We are opening a museum in honor of Harriet Tubman, Emmet Louis Till and Mrs. Mamie Till Mobley who was my surrogate grandmother. I love preserving the stories of my people. Best regards, Eric J. Chambers, The CUT Chronicles FROM RACHELLE: "It is from a space of profound love and extreme humility that I write this note expressing my deepest and most sincere gratitude for all the family and friends that have prayed for me, cared about me, and/or given their hearts to me via this very SWEET Relief Fund. Since your outpouring of support a few months ago, I have been sleeping more, eating more, believing more and even writing more music for the first time in several years. Please know that I am healing. Beyond me, however, I am eternally grateful to trusted organizations like Sweet Reilef for what they do to provide refuge for artists that bare their vulnerable souls to the world to the point of exhaustion. I have so MUCH MORE to say soon, but for now, the most urgent and important two works that I can share are 'THANK YOU' in every language I know. On repeat." --Rachelle Ferrell
We love you tremendously, Rachelle. We're sending healing light and mountains of love to you. Blessings continued to you and yours. Grateful to hear that The SWEET Relief Fund is helping and embracing artists in their time of need!!!!!!!!!! Carry on!!!🤗😌
Oh’ Rachelle, so wonderful that you send out an update on your Health/Struggle. I’m a 73yr old white guy here in the UK. I’ve had (what I call) a terminal disease of quality Soul music (ever since I was 15yr old). I found your Unique vocals/ability through your duet with Will Downing.. Bought your albums soon after. Please know God is aware & loves you & your contribution. I will pray for you frequently Rachelle 💖 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for caring for this gem of an Artiste. I've been sharing her great works with our Academy students for a while now. I hope she's a lot better now and all worked out well. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
WHY DONT YOU CALL ON THESE BIG MONEY 💰 CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE MILLIONS AND WONT HURT THEIR POCKETS TO HELP A DESERVED WOMAN LIKE RACHELLE. WHAT A VOICE 😮 WHAT A TREASURE NON OF THESE FAKE ARTIST CAN COMPARE TO THIS GIFT NAMED RACHELLE. I LOVE THE EMOTION SHE SHOWS WHEN SHE USES HER GOD GIVEN INSTRUMENT THAT VOICE !!!!! AND CAN PLAY THAT 🎹 PIANO TOO UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND !!!! WISH TO MEET HER ONE DAY AND ENCOURAGE HER THRU THIS TRIAL AND SEASON .
NEW UPDATE: FROM RACHELLE "The abounding gratitude for all those who cared enough to even think of me and pray for me has been sustaining. Those of you who have shared your precious resources with Sweet Relief on my behalf have overwhelmed me. Though I have been in and out of pain recently and some days are rougher than others, by God’s grace and your generosity, I and still here. I am working on a song dedicated to you, Sweet Relief, and all who have shown their love and care for me and others. The title of that song and the end of this note are the same. Thank you…in every language I know. My birthday is today (May 21st) and I’m also overwhelmed because you all are the reason I get to see another one. I wasn’t sure not long ago. I mean that. So Just Thank you. More soon.” - Rachelle Ferrell
Thank you for the update. Can we still contribute to her recovery? Also, is there any way I can send her a personal message. I met her in Minneapolis a decade ago and I have been a fan from the early 90’s. Love her sincerely.
She is my favorite vocalist of all times. She has moved me to tears in certain renditions. I have followed her since the 90's. I have filled out my get well card to her and a check. I am so glad to hear something about her, that is what has happened and where she is at. Information was so limited. I posted on her post. Thank you Mr. Jones for this post. I too heard it through a post from this relief fund. Please keep us updated.
Rachelle Ferrell is extremely phenomenal. It's truly a blessing to know such an organization. To help her and other artists. God bless you all. As well as our dear sister in her recovery. ❤🙌🏾❤🛐😇❤❤🙏🏽
Eric, thank you. This was an AMAZING presentation! I enjoyed your piece on Rachelle and very much appreciated the interview with Sweet Relief. I gave but also had questions that were answered here, to the point I am considering additional giving to Sweet Relief. I hope you get Rachelle's first interview when she's ready, followed by Jennifer Hudson. God bless you. 30 years later, your piece found its perfect timing.
Hi Anthony, thanks so much for your awesome reply! That has made my day already and it's not even 8am yet! I appreciate you donating to my Sweet Relief on behalf of my dear sistah, Rachelle.
Oh my God What an awesome gift Such an amazing instrument, only God can give If I could touch the hem of her garment, I'd die happy Seriously hearing her music always lifts my spirit ,even when I'm already in good spirits .I struggle to express how I get so overjoyed listening to her music .It soothes my soul. I could write a book about Rachelle and her God given gift,I will stop myself and shake my bank and hustle for my girl crush. You are the best
This is the first I’m hearing of this. I knew she wasn’t well. I will be praying for her. I’ll never forget the time I saw her at the Blue note in NYC. She walked off the stage and I stood up to shake her hand and she shook mine. When I went to take my hand away she grabbed it tighter and wouldn’t let go. I died. I hope she gets well soon. ‘Til you come back to us Rachelle, love you…..
Thanks for watching and responding. Check out her self-titled CD from 1992. That's my FAVORITE of them ALL! "Sentimental," "Waiting," "Til You Come Back To Me." and more will bless you.
I’d donated, but am glad that you are confirming that this is a legit organization. Much love, thoughts, and prayers to Ms. Rachelle Ferrell. I was introduced to and fell in love with her artistry in 2010, and have been blessed to see her 4 times in concert. I pray she makes a speedy recovery.
Sending my prayers and love to one of the best female Jazz Artist,🙏🏾💐💗 ( My daughter and I had the pleasure of seeing youI here in Michigan. ) May God continue to heal and strengthen you.🙏🏾💗🙏🏾💐
I am glad this fund is available to Rachelle and I hope she will get better she has more life to live. I appreciate all the organizers efforts in being able to assist in helping people. Also, I thank all the workers involved in keeping the fund going. I pray the Lord will impart a special blessing to all involved in the Sweet Music relief fund.
This young lady is awesome. I heard her for the first time in Winston Salem at Winston Salem State University for $10.00 dollars. Let me tell you l have been a fan from that day. May God Bless you abundantly.
I have tried to write a response while watching this video. Just when it was about to end I felt in my spirit to simply say THANK YOU!!! for helping Rachelle Ferrell.
Thank you. I donated. There was not enough information about it so thanks for spreading the word. Love Ms. Ferrell and first heard her around 1991at a place called the Blue Note in Philly. Fan ever since.
You express my sentiments exactly...Rachelle Ferrell is a tremendous artist whose gift surpasses most singers/musicians. I've had the blessing of seeing her perform several times in person, and she remains a favorite. I'm praying for her continued healing and look forward to seeing her return stronger than ever. If we all give what we can, it will help a lot.
Brother please see that my Sister gets this message. She has to REPENT in order for Heavenly Father Yahweh in Yahoshua’s name with all the power of the Ruach Kodesh (Holy Spirit) to heal casting out, keeping away ALL demonic forces from her. The gift of her voice was given by Father Yahweh for His use ONLY to bring others to our Savior/Messiah. If she choose to redirect her life, our Heavenly Father shall take care of her according to His Holy Will…🔥. Our prayers go up for our sister with faith & love. Thanks & blessings also go up for you.
I don't have to tell Rachelle anything. She already has a relationship with God. She is very much aware of what's needed and knows her PERSONAL walk with Him. Thanks.
I am disappointed and reluctant to send a donation. What the hell is she going through? We deserve to know what the situation is. How can someone of this caliber of talent not have insurance. I've paid to see her, any times. I do not get this . I just saw that she is not touring 11/2/23, however Mary Lou Retton was hospitalized with some medical issues, at least this was disclosed, but they expect people to just send money? no....not me.
Thanks for your comment, but nobody is expecting you to send anything that you don't want to send. That's your prerogative. But for those who hadn't seen Rachelle in a while, and care about her, this is for them. From what I have been told, she is making great progress in her healing and has watched this video. As for her financial needs, you'd be SURPRISED at how many artists with bigger names than hers are struggling. And keep in mind, Rachelle and most artists on the jazz scene, and R&B too, don't command performance fees like Beyonce and Taylor Swift where they make millions. By the time they pay their band, publicists, hair and make-up, and other behind-the-scenes people, there's not a lot left. Top that with what's happening with Spotify where they get pennies for their music, being an artist ain't what it used to be. They are not making the same from their music. Therefore, they have to tour. And if you can't tour, it's problematic. So, keep my dear sistah in your prayers. And for those who want to support her, may they do it out of compassion.
You nor the public have any right to know her personal medical struggles just like your medical records are confidential for a reason. If you live her and support her and have the ability the donate to support her cause. Many artist don't make money and you know that. I have a job and don't have insurance. And when I did it still want affordable let that sink in.
Well, why even reply? Just keep it moving. My mother used to say, no one knows what shape they’re going to be in before they leave this earth. Remember that!

No problem. Eric J.
We saw Rachelle several summers ago. My husband and I sensed she wasn't well. Can we still donate to her fund?
Thanks for your comment. Yes, you may still donate at SweetRelief.org/RachelleFerrellFund. Thanks for your support of my friend.
Are there any updates on Rachelle Ferrell health?
Hi, yesterday I stopped by the Sweet Relief office, and from what I was told, she's doing better. I have requested an update for the fans.
Is there and address to send donations? Please provide. Thanks!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you may visit SweetRelief.org/RachelleFerrellFund which is specifically for Rachelle. Thanks in advance.
Update please!!!, How is she? Can we still donate?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, you may still donate. I haven't heard any updates. I'll be sure to let you know when I do.
