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.
Never Let You Go
Sweet Sensation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never let you go
I'll hold you tight all night
I'll never let you go
I've had my share of heartache and pain
I've been with users, and losers
And seen all of their games
There was a time when I was so all alone
There was no lover, no other
I could call my own
But now that I met you
Those days are through
I'll never let you go
I'll keep you on my heart
Never let you go
Until the end of time
I'll hold you tight all night
Never let you go
You are the earth and I am the sea
The world together, forever
I'll be all that you need
You and I were always meant to be
If you should leave
And go your own way
I'll still love, I will survive
For every night I pray
If you will find your way
Right back to me
I'll never let you go
I'll keep you on my heart
Never let you go
Until the end of time
I'll hold you tight all night
Never let you go
Day after day and night after night
I screamed your name and you just came
Now everythings alright
Loving you has made my life complete
When I'm with you
It's like a dream has come true
My emotions start to blow
My skies are blue and my eyes gaze on you
And I think that you should know
I'll never let you go
I'll keep you on my heart
Never let you go
Until the end of time
I'll hold you tight all night
Never let you go
I'll keep you on my heart
Never let you go
Until the end of time
I'll hold you tight all night
Never let you go

I'll never let you go
I'll always hold on to you and never let go
Never let you go
I promise to always hold you and never let you slip away
I'll hold you tight all night
I'll embrace you throughout the night securely and lovingly
I've had my share of heartache and pain
I've experienced difficult moments in love and relationships
I've been with users, and losers
I've been in relationships with people who only used and hurt me
And seen all of their games
I've endured their games and manipulations
But no one makes me feel the way you do
No one has ever made me feel the way you do currently
There was a time when I was so all alone
I was once in a lonely and solitary situation
There was no lover, no other
I had no lover or companion back then
I could call my own
No one I could claim as my own
But now that I met you
Since I met you
Those days are through
Those lonely days are over for me
I'll keep you on my heart
You will always be on my mind and in my heart
You are the earth and I am the sea
Together we make a natural, beautiful, and harmonious entity
The world together, forever
We will always be united as one, forever
I'll be all that you need
I'll strive to fulfill all your needs
You and I were always meant to be
We were destined to be together
If you should leave
If you decide to depart
And go your own way
And pursue your own path
I'll still love, I will survive
But I'll still remain in love with you and keep living
For every night I pray
Every night, I pray to keep us together
If you will find your way
If you find your way back to me
Right back to me
To my loving arms
Day after day and night after night
Every day and every night
I screamed your name and you just came
I call out to you, and you come to me
Now everything's alright
Now that you're here, everything's fine
Loving you has made my life complete
You have brought completeness and fulfillment into my life through love
When I'm with you
Whenever I'm by your side
It's like a dream has come true
Being with you feels like a fairytale
My emotions start to blow
Being with you brings out intense emotions in me
My skies are blue and my eyes gaze on you
Everything is bright and beautiful, and my eyes are fixed on you
And I think that you should know
I want to tell you that
