- Marcel King ( 1957 - 1995) is best known as the lead singer of Sweet Sensation : an eight piece British soul group who had some success between 1974 and 1977. Cast very much in the then-popular mould of the Philly sound, they broke through in 1974 following an appearance on the UK television talent show New Faces.
Born 4th January 1957 Manchester
Died 5th October 1995 Manchester age 38yrs
I will never forget Marcel and how I met him. You couldn't write it. I was quite young. My Mum and my siblings and I were moving into our new home. We couldn't find anything. My Mum asked my elder sister and I to knock next door and ask for some coffee. We knocked, the door opened, there stood Marcel, we froze, fixated. Here in front of us stood the guy who was currently number one in the charts. We felt frozen in a time frame for some time. Eventually my sister asked if they might have some spare coffee. Our familes became firm friends. Marcel was unaffected by fame. He was humble, gentle, kind, very gifted. Our familes shared many good times as our homes were flooded with music. Marcel was other worldly "Angelic".
Lovely singer what a voice,it brings the love out in us ❤
@irenebuckley72 Yes the exact same thing happened to us. We lived next door on the other side of Marcel, the only difference is we asked him for tea
a lovely song s s dreamer , just clicked in now, its really sad , always had that song in my memory, just found out its from Marcel King , Hope and pray he is with the Lord , RIP Marcel
Rip Marcel King, Glory to God I am protected 🙌✝️
I didn’t realise that he had passed away,such a lovely voice rest in peace
I remember their record from 1974. I used to think it was The Jackson Five. Marcel was a very good singer. So sad to see he died so young.
Had no idea Sweet Sensation was British! Though they were from USA! He was only about 17 when he sang Sad Sweet dreamer. Gone way too soon. Rest his soul
Es muy triste que falleciera tan joven Marcel!
Me encantaba su canción "Sad sweet dreamer" en aquél año 1974!
Un beso al Cielo... desde URUGUAY!
They played in Folkestone many years ago. 2 girls I was at school with dated marcel and another band member for a while. I’m sorry to hear marcel has passed away ❤️
His son was killed in a shootout 2 years after he passed. RIP Zeus and Marcel, both gone too soon
I loved sad sweet dreamer in my teenage years . RIP Marcel so sad to find here that he passed away 😔
I felt so sad when I heard of his passing.
Beautiful angelic voice.
Missed by so many. 🙏🏾
My dad Junior Daye was in the band with Marcel, my grandparents are both buried in the same cemetery, my dads one of only 2 left alive out the original 4, nice video thanks for putting together.
Please send our love and best wishes. Super talented band ❤
I love that group. Which one was your dad and who all passed? 😢
Thank you, Paul, for your hard work. Loved 'Sad Sweet Dreamer'. Remember it well as a child... Good memories. RIP Marcel King.
I loved their songs but didnt know he had died. I found this by chance. So sad. RIP Marcel x
Continue to Rest In Eternal Peace Marcel King…You are truly missed ♥️🎶💯
Marcel was my first crush...the LP never left the turntable. RIP beautiful.
I also had no idea he had died. So young. RiP Marcel. Sleep on and take your rest. 🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️ Thank you Paul you are so compassionate and polite of the dead. Thanks for your empathy and your sorrowful videos that you shares to us. If it wasn't for you I would had no idea of the death of certain entertainers 🙏🏾.✝️.keep up the good work. 👍🏽
Thank you for your lovely comments, I try my best
So young, that hit was an early 70's theme!!!
I didn't know he'd died. Still young. I remember the hit songs. I was 13 and 14 in 1974. I have the songs on 1970s compilation cds.
Sad Sweet Dreamer. Love that song. So bittersweet. I play it often. It reminds me of my time high school in 1974 back in New York. I have a movie in mind and that song is one of which I would like to include.
Didn’t know he had died…great song n voice.
I l9ved that song it was on repeat many times may he rest in eternal peace
They also had another song called," sweet regrets" that I used to hear on the radio,which was quite melodic too.....although totally different from "sad sweet dreamer".....
Hi paul,I too didnt know that marcel had died till a good few months ago,I found out because I played the song "sad sweet dreamer"on you tube which I also have in my playlist on you tube and on the comments of the song someone mentioned it,and I thought I didnt know he'd died,they also had another good song out also in my playlist too called "purely by coincidence" he was a great singer,but he also looked really young when fronting the group,RIP marcel.🙏
Man, what a voice. I was born in 1974 and have always collected vinyl like my Grandad. I ran across this album in a stack I bought many years ago. My favorite thing about buying stacks in lots is you always find gems that you never heard before. Well, Marcel was one of those GEMS. I was looking this morning on ebay for the album with the Clown on the front. My 8 year old son loves Michael Jacksons voice so when I played Sad Sweet Dreamer he was truly impressed. I told him that Marcel has a great voice like Michael had! Great video Sir. Thank You...
I Have no more of five favorites songs and sad sweet dreamer its one of them I´m from Mexico in 1974 I was 12 years old when this song was in number 14 in America.
love that song, RIP
I learned of Sweet Sensation and Marcel King when their song played in the movie, Rush. Very talented artists
Great talent. RIP.
So very sad , what a wonderful talent and great voice that Marcel had. Sending love to his family and friends. xxx
Rest in peace marcel
Tony Hatch co produced the song Sad Sweet Dreamer he didn't co write it. It was written by David Parton. Great vocals by Marcel King. Taken too soon.
RIEP Marcel King Your memory lives on fantastic voice
Thanks for this. I loved their hit. And now, many years later, I've gone back and discoverd many of the other songs that they recorded. Marcel had a beutiful voice.
Hey Paul wow I was a big fan of Marcel great great voice 💯💯😊
I didn’t know he’d passed and so young RIP little man taken far to early ❤️
Manchester city council purchased the land off a land owner named, 'William Brook'. Also he sold them land not far from the cemetery to build houses in moss side,manchester. The old part of the cemetery is off Barlow moor road then you cross over to the second half on nell lane where I two of my nieces are buried.😔
lasciate sempre un fiore a questo uomo

I didn’t know he had passed. Very sad. RIP
He made alot of people happy in them great days
I met him in 1975, I loved his name but told him it was a bit 'puffy' for a boy he laughed and said well if you ever have a baby girl you could call her marcel, and that's just what I did in 1982 I named my baby Marcelle. RIEP Marcel King GBNF
Loved Marcel 😭
God bless Marcel
went watching the group absolutely loved it ❤😢
Very sad RIP and thank you sincerely for the video.
As a point of reference - King didn’t record ‘Reach For Love’ in 1991, it was released in 1984.
I met the group in Barnsley after they did a show at civic Hall, what great guys . Was shocked to find out Marcel had died .

What did he die from
It says in the video, he had a brain haemorrhage
Yes another one hit wonder - here today and gone tomorrow, literally.
@@misssparky5574
Can you remember the name of that manager? Would he have made that much money to make it worth running away to Australia?
@@misssparky5574
Strange to say that I never really liked his attitude - it was somehow wrong.
Not so! Listen to the upload: Sweet Sensation had another hit ( after Sad Sweet Dreamer.) It was called Purely By Coincidence, and reached number 11.
In 1984, Marcel released "Reach for Love." It was broadcast on T.V., but sadly not the hit it deserved to be.
Dont be so nasty. If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all. I bet he didnt do anything to you. Actually they had more than one hit. Get your facts right.
Very sad, so young, I was just listening to the song Sad Sweet Dreamer and saw your vid 👍🍻
Rest in peace Marcel
R I P Marcel
