“Sad Sweet Dreamer” by Sweet Sensation

FAVORITE SELECTION: “Sad Sweet Dreamer”

ABOUT THIS ALBUM: Sweet Sensation was an eight piece British soul group. Formed in Manchester in 1971, the band came to prominence after appearing on the ITV talent show New Faces. Under the guidance of panelist Tony Hatch the band signed to Pye Records. The debut single “Snowfire” failed to reach the charts, but the follow-up “Sad Sweet Dreamer” was a UK number one single in October 1974, also reaching No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following spring. They never had another hit. The band is largely forgotten today.

WHY I CHOSE THIS ALBUM: This song has a pleasant melody and is a good representation of early 1970’s music. It was a favorite of mine while in high school.
