MME's Jam of the Day


This classic recording "Sad Sweet Dreamer" by the British-based group Sweet Sensation was a  huge hit the world over in 1974. I remember hearing the song on the radio as a kid and thought it was the Jackson 5. This cut takes me back to a time when soul music was phenomenal with the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Heatwave, Bobby Caldwell, The Jackson 5 , Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes & The Isley Brothers  burning up the charts. The sweet innocence & contagious lyric, “Sad sweet dreamer, it’s just one of those things you put down to experience!” digs in deep.. Lead singer Marcel King’s soulful falsetto croons about missing his girl so much, he pines for her every night. This kind of vulnerability in today's music is rare. Somehow we lost that feel which is why 70s soul sounds so damn good!!
