The Melodians - Sweet Sensation (Official Audio)

Official audio for the Melodians' UK chart hit from 1970, 'Sweet Sensation'
Originally formed in the Greenwich Town area of Kingston, Jamaica, in 1963, by friends Tony Brevett, Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton, the Melodians were firmly established as one of Jamaica's leading acts by the close of the decade, having enjoyed major success with singles for Coxson Dodd, Duke Reid, Sonia Pottinger as well as the artist co-operative Links Records.
Their move to Leslie Kong's Beverley's Records in 1969 resulted in further major triumphs, including this, their sole UK chart success. Strangely, it is one of their subsequent singles for Kong, 'Rivers of Babylon', for which they are best known, despite the single never charting outside of their native Jamaica.
'Sweet Sensation' has since been recorded by numerous acts, notably UB40, who included a version on their best-selling 1983 LP, 'Labour Of Love'.

SWEET SENSATION
Written by Renford Cogle
I could feel these thrills taking over
When you held me tight
Now I feel those pains taking over
When you said goodnight
Oh, what sweet sensation
Lord, what strange emotion
You got love and devotion
And I won't forget your touch
Now there's nothing left for me to say, girl
Than stay in your world
You got so much soul deep inside, girl
And love that's richer than gold
Oh, what sweet sensation
Lord, what strange emotion
You got love and devotion
And I won't forget your touch
