Rainey Haynes

She worked in scenes with Martin Landau (North by Northwest, Ed Wood) and tried to break into films, once considered for a role opposite Michael J.

From the mid-1980s into the 1990s, she free-lanced for Hanna-Barbera Studios for both their animated TV and movie divisions as the singing voice of "Brittany", Alvin the Chipmunk's girlfriend.

This involved a difficult process of recording where Rainey sang to pre-recorded tracks playing back at half-speed, on which she would sing rock songs in the same, high keys, holding the same, difficult high notes, holding them twice as long as in a normal rock tune, after which the whole thing would then be played back at the original speed, with the result that the instruments sounded normal and her voice had the requisite, "chipmunk" sound.

Other songs by Rainey in the movies included "Old Enough To Rock and Roll," which she wrote and performed for the film Iron Eagle and "I Can Fly" and “Technique,[1] written and produced by Jay Levy and Jack Conrad,” two songs that she performed for the Sarah Jessica Parker film Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Without any support or promotion by the record company responsible for the soundtrack of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and solely as the result of New York area DJs playing the song because of requests, "I Can Fly" reached the Billboard Top Ten Dance Chart and stayed in the top ten for six months following the film's release.

In 1987, Rainey toured France for six months as backup vocalist and duet singer for French superstar Johnny Hallyday.

Today she continues to write music, which she records in her studio, and to produce works in the visual arts media of stone sculpting and oil painting.
