Sweet Sensation was a Puerto Rican female freestyle-dance music trio from The Bronx, New York City, New York, United States, North America.^{[citation needed]}

History

The trio was formed in 1986, in the Bronx area of New York City. The original group members were Betty LeBron (lead) and sisters Margie and Mari Fernandez. Originally on Next Plateau Records, in 1988, they were picked up by Atco and their debut album, Take It While It's Hot was released. Take It While It's Hot went to #63 on the Billboard pop albums chart and spawned five singles: "Hooked on You" (#23); "Victim of Love"; "Take It While It's Hot"; "Never Let You Go" (which went to #1 on the US Dance chart); and "Sincerely Yours" (#13).^{[citation needed]}

In 1989, Mari was replaced by Sheila Vega (the artwork of the group's debut album was also altered when the personnel replacement was made).^{[citation needed]}

In 1990, the group's second album Love Child was released, and the group earned its biggest hit with the ballad "If Wishes Came True", which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100.^{[citation needed]}

In 1991, a final album featuring remixes was released. Not long after, Margie and Sheila were replaced by three new members, Belle, Maya, and Jenae, making them a quartet. They did a few shows together, and then Betty LeBron was said to go solo. By 1992 Sweet Sensation seemed to just disappear and was never heard of again.^{[citation needed]}

In 2004, Sweet Sensation ranked #391 on Top 500 Pop Artists of the Past 25 Years.^{[citation needed]}

In 2005, the dance single "My Body Tu Cuerpo", credited as "Dynamix Presents Sweet Sensation", was released on Kult Records (with Betty LeBron on lead vocals, now under the moniker of 'Betty Dee') and produced by Eddie Cumana and Beppe Savoni of Dynamix.^{[citation needed]}
