A couple of months ago I was asking questions about this girl group from the 80's and someone was kind of enough to respond. Sorry to be a pain but if you know the track listing for their self titled cd, the one with "gonna get over you" can you please send it, along with a description of the cd? I basically wanna know how many fast and slow tracks there are. many thanks!

I got one of their albums? I forget which one though?

is this the group that sang, "heartbeat..you make me feel so sweet"..?

i loved that song..

That was a remake of the far superior original by Tanaa Gardner. And that was Sweet Sensation. I'm not familiar with Sweet Obsession (unless that's who Dancerella's referring to).

sosgemini said:

no, that was Seduction. they were cool too though! by the way, that song was originally recorded by Taana Gardner and her version rocks!

RipHer2Shreds said:

you're almost right but the group that covered heartbeat was seduction, not sweet sensation.

Thanks for the correction. I was actually looking to see if I was correct just as you corrected me

RipHer2Shreds said:

no worries!

Sweet Sensation were a female freestyle group that had hits with "Sincerely Yours," "Hooked On You," "Love Child" (yes, a remake) and "If Wishes Came True" which was a number one hit in the U.S.

Seduction was another dance trio of women created by C+C Music Factory. Their hits included "Two To Make It Right," "Could This Be Love" and the aforemention remake of "Heartbeat." Member Idalis Leon later was briefly a VJ for MTV. Member Michelle Visage went on to become co-host of RuPaul's talk show on VH1. There is currently a new single by Seduction circulating in clubs. I don't know if any of the original members are featured in the current incarnation.

aikam said:

Yes! There you are! Thanks for the info once again. So how many fast tracks would you say are on the one with gonna get over you?

I remember this group! Their first single "Gonna Get Over You" wasn't half-bad.It's a shame that they had to follow it up with the absurd second single "Cash Money"...


"You might be cute,or you might be "funny"
But all that doesn't matter if you haven't got the money"

DavidEye said:

i never heard cash money but i guess you didn't think it was too hot.

dancerella said:

No problem, always willing to assist when it comes to music . I have to be honest, I'm not sure, it's been awhile since I've heard their music. You should be able to find it at a reasonable price on amazon.com or ebay.

okay..so which of these thresomes sang, "it takes two to make a thing already"?

sosgemini said:

Seduction sang "It Takes Two". I have that Cd so I know for fact it's them. The group was put together by Robert Clivilles and David Cole of C& C Music Factory fame. Idalis (former MTV "VJ" was a member),

i need to find that song then cause them girls jam!!! and that should be alright..not already..

sosgemini said:

I used to play the hell out of this song. I still love it today.

aikam said:

i wouldn't mind hearing that song either. it was good n' funky! where are those girls now?

dancerella said:

I used to have their CD, but sold it on ebay last year. I only used to listen to the 12" singles anyway (which I still have). The one album track I kind of miss is "One Mistake." There's an instrumental remix of it on the "Breakdown" 12", but it's not the same without the vocals.

Speaking of "without the vocals", the girls' voices were replaced by an uncredited Martha Wash on the house mix of "(You're My One And Only) True Love". She got no respect back then.

sextonseven said:

damn, they did the dirty on martha too? that woman got no props in the music industry. that truly sux!

aikam said:

You know what,I'm gonna have to go out and find this album! I really liked their cover of "Heartbeat".Is this album available on CD?

dancerella said:

It was garbage.But the first single "I'm Gonna Get Over You" was great.I remember seeing the video on BET all the time back then (1988?).

DavidEye said:

It's out of print now. You may be able to get a used copy on ebay for $20. I think that's around what someone paid for mine--between $10 and $20.

DavidEye said:

I don't remember them or that song at all. I need to see if Musicmatch has them. I have all the other dancey girl group cds from the late 80's.

sextonseven said:

damn,I shoulda bought it back in 1989!
