[1] The second single from the British soul group, a soaring soul ballad heavily influenced by the Stylistics (and led by lead vocalist Marcel King's falsetto), "Sad Sweet Dreamer" became their first hit.

[3][4] Both Hatch and Jackie Trent sang on the track to augment Sweet Sensation.

Hatch wanted to work with them after they were discovered on New Faces whilst he was on the judging panel.

The song was covered by French singer Joe Dassin as "Carolina (Sad Sweet Dreamer)" in 1975.

The song can be heard in the 2009 UK television series Red Riding.
