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.

The song Sad Sweet Dreamer by Sweet Sensation is a melancholy ode to lost love. The lyrics describe the pain and longing of a man who is missing his former lover. He reminisces about their time together and imagines her in his dreams, but knows that it's ultimately a hopeless fantasy. The refrain "Sad sweet dreamer, it's just one of those things you put down to experience" suggests that he knows he must move on, but the pain of the breakup is still fresh.
The verses describe the man's sadness and loneliness without his lover. He has been crying himself to sleep and thinking about her all night long. He is haunted by memories of her and finds himself reading about love in magazines, only to be reminded of what he has lost. The bridge of the song describes the man's surprise at how quickly things fell apart. He was happy when he found her, but didn't expect her to leave him stranded and alone.
Overall, the song captures the sense of loss and disappointment that comes with a breakup.
