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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh ooh
Whoa whoa
Oh baby
Some lovers dazzle me with their limousines and pearls
They wine and dine you and they promise you the world
But then the party's over everything is changed
With you
It's more than just a passion
With you
I know that love will last
When you look in my eyes (whoa whoa)
You lift me up so high
Each and every time
Each and every time
And when the world is cold (whoa whoa)
You're always there to hold
Each and every time
Each and every time
I've had to pay the price of knowing how to love
And getting hooked on those who never could get enough
You are the reason I can take another chance
'Cause you know the meaning of a true romance
With you
It's more than just a passion
With you
I know that love will last
When you look in my eyes (whoa whoa)
You lift me up so high
Each and every time
Each and every time
And when the world is cold (whoa whoa)
You're always there to hold
Each and every time
Each and every time
Whenever you're around (whoa whoa)
My heart's up in the clouds
Each and every time
Each and every time
And when you take my hand (whoa whoa)
I know you understand
Each and every time
Each and every time
Every time you call my name
It thrills me just the same
And I know I'll always feel this way
T-t-t-turn it out
Whoa whoa
With you
It's more than attraction
With you
I know this love will last
Whoa whoa
You're the one who makes me feel this way
Always in your arms I'll stay
Right here with you baby
I'm yours and yours and yours alone
You will always be the one
And I don't mean maybe
Haven't got a taste for material things (whoa whoa)
Boy I don't need no diamond ring
You know I know just what true love can bring
You're my everything (whoa whoa)
My everything (each and every time)
What true love can bring
When you look in my eyes (whoa whoa)
You lift me up so high (oh baby)
Each and every time
Each and every time
And when the world is cold (whoa whoa)
You're always there to hold (you're always there to hold)
Each and every time (huh)
Each and every time (every little time)
Whenever you're around (whenever you're around)
My heart's up in the clouds (my heart's up in the clouds)
Each and every time
Each and every time
And when you take my hand
I know you understand
Each and every time
Each and every time
The lyrics to Sweet Sensation's "Each and Every Time" speak of the pleasure of finding true love in a world full of materialism and superficiality. The singer contrasts the flashy and deceptive nature of other lovers who promise the world and deliver nothing with the sincerity and depth she finds in her partner. The fact that her partner isn't bringing in flashy gifts and expensive jewelry matters not, because with him, she experiences true passion and that is enough to satisfy her.
The lyrics express the thrill and satisfaction the singer feels in the presence of her partner - every time she looks into his eyes, she is lifted up and feels like she is floating on air. He serves as her anchor in a cold and cruel world - every time the world seems to be closing in on her, he is there to hold her, provide comfort and allay her fears. He understands her like no one else ever has and, on every encounter, he makes her feel like she is the most important person in the world.
In conclusion, the song "Each and Every Time" celebrates the beauty of finding true love, someone who cares for you deeply and is always there for you regardless of the challenges you might face. The song also emphasizes the point that real love goes beyond flashy displays of materialism and is more about finding someone who brings contentment, happiness, and real fulfillment into one's life.
