The other was the girl group Sweet Sensation. Sweet Sensation was an American female trio from the Lower East Side Smith Houses, New York City, New York, United States.
Formed in 1986 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, the original members were Betty LeBron (lead vocals) and sisters Margie and Mari Fernandez. Originally signed to Next Plateau Records, in 1988 they were picked up by Atco, and their debut album Take It While It's Hot was released. It reached #63 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart and spawned five singles to hit singles nearly all of them reaching the Billboard Hot 100 "Hooked on You" (#23), "Victim of Love (Goodbye Baby)" (#14 Dance), "Take It While It's Hot" (#57 and #14 Dance), "Never Let You Go" {#58) (which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart), and "Sincerely Yours" (#13 and #30 Dance).
In 1989, Mari was replaced by Sheila Vega (the artwork of their debut album was altered when the personnel replacement was made). In 1990, their second album Love Child was released, earning what would turn out to be their biggest hit, with the ballad "If Wishes Came True," which reached Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. The album scored one more hit with the song "Each and Every Time" reaching number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1991, a remix album was released, "Time to Jam (The Remix Album)," which turned out to be their last. Not long after in 1991, Margie and Sheila were replaced by three new members—Belle, Maya and Jenae, making them a quartet. They performed a few shows together, and then Betty LeBron was said to have gone solo. By 1992, Sweet Sensation had disbanded.
In 2004, Sweet Sensation ranked #391 on the Top 500 Pop Artists of the Past 25 Years. In 2005, the House single "My Body Tu Cuerpo," credited as Dynamix Presents Sweet Sensation, was released on Kult Records (with Betty LeBron on lead vocals, billed as Betty Dee) and produced by Eddie Cumana and Beppe Savoni of Dynamix. In 2012 and 2013 Sweet Sensation appeared at a series of Freestyle revival concerts, including "Freestyle Fever 7," sponsored by Sal Abbatiello's Fever Records, the line-up now consisting of Betty LeBron, Jenae Colon & Belle Ritter.

Sweet Sensation Lyrics

Break it down
Ooo eyeayeee
All my life I been waiting here for you
A special kind of boy to make my dreams come true
I never thought that I could ever find someone
That boy would never come
And when I felt your kiss and knew that is was right
You know it had to be, it was destiny
Anyone can see that I was meant to love you
Boy, it's you and me
You're my destiny, no one can deny that you are mine
Until the end of time, holding hands and walking through the park
Watching the sun go down
And kissing the dark
Those were the special things I thought I would never do
My heart was empty before I met you
But now you're mine and loneliness is gone
You give me all I need, you help me carry on
You light my darkest day
When we're together
Our love is here to stay
You and me forever

And kissing the dark
We will share an intimate connection and bond even in the toughest of times
Those were the special things I thought I would never do
I never thought I would have the opportunity to share these moments with a partner
My heart was empty before I met you
I was incomplete and lacked purpose before finding you
But now you're mine and loneliness is gone
I will never be lonely with you by my side
You give me all I need, you help me carry on
You provide everything I need and support me to continue moving forward in life
You light my darkest day
Your mere presence helps me overcome even the darkest of moments
When we're together
Our bond and affection for each other makes everything else in life worthwhile
Our love is here to stay
Our love is true and will remain for an infinite amount of time
You and me forever
We will always have each other in this life and beyond
