Raquel Welch passed away today. She was 82 years old. She cracked the US dance chart in 1987 at #29 with This Girl's Back in Town. Track written by Welch, produced by Paul Jabara, who worked extensively with Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand and more. #RIP. 😔
First time I'm seeing/hearing this. Raquel Welch is an incomparable and singular talent. Seeing this actually makes me wistful over it being set in 1987; '87 was a significant year for me and now "This Girl's Back In Town" is a new memory to incorporate into my special year now 31 years ago.
I use to work at Studio One in West Hollywood and Raquel came in one night and introduced her new song. They showed this video. RW was very beautiful i person. She looked as good or better in person.
Raquel- Good job I like the song a-lot - lots of texture in the song- soft vocals - full voice vocals- a show tune - vocal control is excellent-excellent dancing. First time listening to you, did not know you sang. Can't wait to hear more. Excellent job! Lee
....This tune was considered "camp" when released Spring 1987, but it was a modest Dance Club hit with Gay Men, who ALWAYS been Raquel's 'secret' fanbase (for someone who was a Hetero Sex Symbol)....It's like Liza, Gloria Loring & Linda Dano directed the Video! ...ha-HAA!! ..RIP, Raquel....
She is a goddess. She is talented. This is awesome. People I have been jealous and envious of her all her life. This music is terrific. It is the first I have ever heard of it. This song should have got airplay. I should be able to buy it on CD. She was blacklisted because of her settlement with MGM.

I'm not feelin it. I wanted to, but it just ain't working for me. Happy birthday on 9/05 Ms Welch. You certainly have taken good care of the temple God gave you.
Raquel Welch could do about everything but one thing that's never mentioned is her singing. She has been overlooked for so long that I sincerely hope a compilation album of Welch's singing from the 60's to the present. This video here I'm sure this song was written and got rejected by many artists. Welch took a chance on this one and although not a hit that songwriter made some small change on that best vocal performance.
She sang and danced in two Broadway musicals, "Woman of the Year" and "Victor/Victoria." Here's a clip from "Woman..." performed at the Boston Pops in the 80s. It's very cute...ruclips.net/video/EnOm7AXFzQ4/видео.html
HER SINGING is pretty good here - considering she's not primarily known for dancing and singing but more for her acting in Films, I think she did a good job.
Too bad Raquel didn't tear lose into singing and dancing in 1967 thru 1978 instead of being sold as simply a sex symbol. Her looks and physique would have held her up. Still she has done quite well for herself.
Her singing isn't bad. How can people who listen to Cardi B. or Miley Cyrus even open their mouths to say that? Her range sounds like an opera singer compared to those bums.
Everything you read about her, she's apparently more down to earth than outsiders know, but still has always had a little bit of a plastic, somewhat conceited persona
Definitely no Ann-Margret. Ann-Margret can sing and is way sexier than Raquel. Not to knock Raquel. But she has nowhere the durability or talent of Ann-Margret
No, not even close. Racquel has just insisted on embarrassing herself and others buy torturing us with her bad singing. She's been doing that since the 60s
I don't get it either. Never understood what the big deal about this dame was. There are other people out there that actually have talent and are just as beautiful, if not more.

#RIP. 😔
Wow my first time seeing this. Over the top and campy perfection and she’s a great singer here. She will always be a goddess may she rest in peace
RIP Raquel Welch. What a gorgeous lady.
Such a brilliant multitalented woman, and one of the most beautiful 😍 woman in the world 🌎. RIP, Raquel
This SONG WAS HOT in 1987 !!! I have the 12 inch LP single of this little ditty. Didn't know the video existed. YUMMY.
Great to hear her sing! Beautiful talented lady!
I think her greatest talent has been confidence in herself to go for whatever comes her way..

Composed by Bob Esty and Paul Jabara; launched in 1987; "This Girl's Back in Town' from Raquel Welch peaked at #29 on the USA dance chart.
Wow. I had never heard of it until I heard a demo by Donna Summer just a few years ago. I had no idea this was a charting hit.
Phenomenal!
Shot and Directed by André Weinfeld. Thank you, Bob for the kind words !
Been in love with her since I was Young
Best song she ever did!
Magnífica actriz de cine y cantante

everyone was trying to hit like tina..i give her credit looks good

It says in the description that she wrote it herself!
I allways knew Raquel could sing and dance. I saw her on an old Bob Hope special for the troops and she killed it!
Chic show classique 🌹❤️
Classe
I didn't know she could sing.
She sang and danced in two Broadway musicals, "Woman of the Year" and "Victor/Victoria." Here's a clip from "Woman..." performed at the Boston Pops in the 80s. It's very cute...ruclips.net/video/EnOm7AXFzQ4/видео.html
"The body"
HER SINGING is pretty good here - considering she's not primarily known for dancing and singing but more for her acting in Films, I think she did a good job.
i wonder what the call was about
Too bad Raquel didn't tear lose into singing and dancing in 1967 thru 1978 instead of being sold as simply a sex symbol. Her looks and physique would have held her up. Still she has done quite well for herself.
She's wearing a black one of those leather dresses the redhead coke girl has in Robocop.
@harrysaccount IT WAS A HIT, a top 20 song in fall of 1987 ! but not this version of the song. it was a better version released that fall ! :)
Glad you cleared that up.!!!
She certainly didn't skip many workouts
hey if eddie murphy could have a disco hit why not raquel???? EVERYBODY jumped on the bandwagon! lol
Party all the time

The platonic love of Eugenio Derbez
If I wasn't baked, drinking and alone on xmas eve; I would have never seen something sadder than my present moment... this is ear-rape!!
Hottest woman on the planet in the 70s😍
@beachc0mber :YOU ARE SPECIAL WITH THAT COMMENT. YOU HAVE A PARKING PASS IN FRONT OF THE MALL WAITING FOR YOU !
Guano
@beachc0mber She DOESN"T YOWL. How scandelous !
She has a fine voice just needed better material..should have done a dance album..Love Raquel!
I feel like I’m watching a scene from Blade Runner.,
Raquel sounds like Donna Summer.
I didn't know that.
don't get me wrong, I love Raquel, but she sounds like Donna Summer??..In her dreams, maybe
No way in hell does Raquel Welch sound like Donna Summer.
The epitome of CHEESY.
Very campy. I picture drag queens spoofing this
Her singing isn't bad. How can people who listen to Cardi B. or Miley Cyrus even open their mouths to say that? Her range sounds like an opera singer compared to those bums.
I can see this being performed by every drag queen on the planet
STILL AN AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND GREAT BUSINESSWOMAN, BUT THIS VIDEO IS.......CRINGEWORTHY.
How awful is this? VERY.
This song is terrible.
She stiil looks great in the new millenium. However that short hair from the 80's - it looks AWFUL, YUKK!
I'm against this.
Not v good voice
Or dancing
Everything you read about her, she's apparently more down to earth than outsiders know, but still has always had a little bit of a plastic, somewhat conceited persona
Definitely no Ann-Margret. Ann-Margret can sing and is way sexier than Raquel. Not to knock Raquel. But she has nowhere the durability or talent of Ann-Margret
Sorry Jake!! But A.M. tries WAY TOO HARD to be sexy......eventually loosing it.!!!! R.W. is more realistic.!!!
No, not even close. Racquel has just insisted on embarrassing herself and others buy torturing us with her bad singing. She's been doing that since the 60s
So why you even here commenting twice ?
I don't get it either. Never understood what the big deal about this dame was. There are other people out there that actually have talent and are just as beautiful, if not more.
More talented? Undoubtfully..Just as beautiful? Impossible haha
