- 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

Wicked..times for sure now 63yrs 👏🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🇧🇧🇯🇲
A & J Watson 😂😂😂 oh my dayssss the forbidden front room. When my dad went to work I went in and played this on his gram 😄 beautiful wonderful memories. 63. Wow mi nun reach deh yet 😄 peace an love aka Lady Voice ✊🏽🇯🇲
Oh yes. I remember those days too. I'm 63.
@@ladyvoice7747 and A&J Watson - laughing like a drain over your comments. Yes the Caribbean Front Room, my friend's parents had theirs under lock and key so no chance of ever getting in there so she used to come over to mines (during the long summer holidays). The Blue Spot Gram, drinks trolley in the corner or the bar with obligatory pineapple ice cooler and Babycham/Wedding glasses - Lawd mi god, those were the days!
C Spencer 😂😂😂😂 yu mek mi laugh mi ratid. Yes de pineapple in de corner. Da dolie on the table my mom use to crochet tings. My mom had the glass cabinet wid all de fancy glass we couldn’t touch I wouldn’t change those days for nothing I think it shaped me to be the person I am today. C Spenser yu made my day 😂😂😂😂🙏🏾✊🏽🇯🇲
Song nearly forgotten , Thx for uploading .
Boom chune❤🇯🇲🔥
This was one the tunes that made me to love reggae music in the mid 60's.
Reggae Music Is One Of The Only Things That Actually Heal My Migraine Headache !
And The Louder The Better Is !
MIND, BODY And SOUL
Melodians ah no reggae but rocksteady, give thanks still, pain is terrible.. I have migrains too but for di I ganja is di best medicin.. Blessed!
Say it one more time. It's therapeutic. Nothing like it. ❤💛💚❤💛💚🎵🎼🎶🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎤🎤🎺🎷🎸🎹
Reggae goes very well with meditation, also working out the neck muscle is known to help with migraine. Cheers
Reggae/Rocksteady beat slightly slower than average heartbeat. Reduces anxiety too as a result. Gets us right back to where we need to be.
Big up
There can be few reggae tunes that stand out like this one a truly wonderful sound, I'm sure it will last forever.
My favourite Trojan song,and that's saying something. For the last 50 years it's been for me the soul of life in a song.The day I don't want to dance to this,they can quite happily put me in the ground.What a tune.
i know that feel dude!!!
Don't say that!! Us lot who appreciate this music are dying thick n fast enuff 😝

@@paularob2829 Thanks for the reply Paula. I ll crank it up with the headphones in a bit. Every time I hear it,I am filled with the anticipation of the brillience of this tune. It's new every time.
I'm 59, this song as kept me going through 2 break ups , 4 children and 7 grandchildren , still my favourite song
still listening 50 yrs later, love it.
One of the high spots of my life was, when delivering goods to find I was actually at Trojan Records. Thank you for the tunes that helped a young man grow in the turbulent 60's.
In 1970 I moved from London to Derby ......." The Land of Great Reggae !!!! " . This was one of the first songs that I fell in love with religiously !
What an amazing dimension that was!!
I love dancing to this.I did in the early 70s as a boy and I am still skankin.
What a record brings back memories
Ska, rock steady, & reggae seem to be dancing together here. Classsssic! BOOM!!!
This, along with “It’s my delight.” WOW
Just wanna dance,chune
Sweet music that will be thrilling music lovers many, many years from now.

Just love this track. Takes me back 50 years❤❤❤❤
I was one of those original London skinheads, I remember running out to get the barnet cropped, we had two styles, our jeans and dr Martins, and our classy, mohair trousers, white/red socks, loathers and crombies, we had class, style and a lot of fun around the pubs and clubs of London. Great days
I used to hang out with the Skinheads of the Crystal Palace area in London in 1969 . They were a great bunch of guys . Those were golden days !!!!!
Yes , I too wore those Dr. Martins , the chequererd shirts , the braces ,,,and the hats too...but I was not a Skinhead ....just hung out with them and played soccer with them on the Common . This was in the Crystal Palace area of London in 1970 .

This brings back the nights of dancing in the Caribbean club in chapeltown Leeds back in the seventies. Wonderful days and nights
Luv luv luv luv love it. This a the jammings
I first came across this track listening to UB40's "Labour of Love". Embarrasingly, it was many years before I realized that this wonderful album was actually an album of covers!!! But I've had a lot of fun listening to the originals courtesy of UA-cam. Including this one by the Melodians, which is simply exquisite.
Can’t stand UB40 because pretty much everything they ever recorded was a cover version of beautiful songs like this that they totally destroyed with their own musical style and that droning voice of Ali Campbell completely ruining it.
Such a cool little tune. It just makes you want to get up and dance
Every time I hear this makes you want to dance and reminds me of the Jamaican family’s who moved into our communities
If music gets any better than this point me in in that direction...

Fantastic! Superb!
Everybody is bawlin about Early Reggae vs. Rocksteady. WTF? This is awesome. Its up tempo. Some where between Ska and reggae. You could define it in many sub-genres of Ska. Fuck the debate and ENJOY it
