Born in 1978 in London, England, Rachel Stevens showed a flair for entertaining even as a toddler. Rachel Stevens was selected as one of the seven members of a band called S Club 7, the group and its managers at Polydor Records aimed to find a niche in the very convoluted UK pop market. Fame was almost immediate for this group of talented twenty-somethings, as their first single "Bring It All Back" debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts in June of 1999. "S Club Party" followed up as their No. 2 hit in September, and their self-titled album sold like hotcakes on the strength of these hits. Rachel Stevens' success spurned the debut of their popular TV series S Club 7 in Miami. The winter ushered in the song "Two In A Million" and, of course, more success. The show S Club in Hollywood did not have the same effect as its predecessor and things were lackluster. Paul Cattermole left the band, and for a while, the six remaining members, including Rachel Stevens, stayed afloat as S Club, even filming a relatively successful movie together, called S Club Seeing Double, in 2003. Funky Dory, was released in September 2003.
