Rainy Davis is a singer, songwriter, and music producer most famous for her album and single Sweetheart. Davis wrote "Sweetheart" with Janet Jackson in mind, hoping to submit it in time for her 1986 album Control, but she didn't make it in time.

Davis has worked with acts such as Benjamin Wright, Ray Parker Jr., Ollie Brown, Musique, Patrick Adams, Beckie Bell, Shannon, Fonda Rae, Skipworth & Turner, Charisse, Keith Sweat, Larry Peoples, Bert deCoteaux, Clarence Burke, Jerry Knight, Oren Waters, David Williams, Jerry Hey, Richard Tee, Beranrd "Pretty" Purdy, Cornell Dupree, David Wilkes, James Gadson, Rae Steve Ferrone, Dean Gant, Michael Boddicker, Anthony Jackson, Edmund Sylvers, Wah-Wah Watson, The Cover Girls, Angel Sabater, Wu-Tang / Protect-Ya-Neck, The Rza, MMO, Padrone, and Pete Kessler.
