Stylistics - Sixteen Bars 1976 I wrote a love song in sixteen bars It says it all, it tells the truth. This is my love song in sixteen bars To tell the world that I'm really gone on you I love you like the ocean loves the shore Like flowers love the sun but even more I love you like the heavens love the planets and the stars There I've said it all in sixteen bars. (Instrumental) This is my love song in sixteen bars To tell the world that I'm really gone on you I promise you a thousand violins A symphony of love that never ends I promise you you'll always hear the sound of sweet guitars There I've said it all in sixteen bars. I wrote a love song in sixteen bars It says it all, it tells the truth. This is my love song in sixteen bars To tell the world that I'm really gone on you

a big hit by Sweet Sensation ,sad sweet dreamer.
Sweet Sensation was 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 a UK television talent show, New Faces. They are best known for their 1974 No1 UK hit, "Sad Sweet Dreamer". Formed in Manchester in 1973 the band came to prominence after appearing on the ITV talent show New Faces. Under the guidance of panellist Tony Hatch the band signed to Pye Records. The debut single "Snow Train" failed to reach the charts, but the follow up "Sad Sweet Dreamer" was a UK number one single in October 1974, also reaching No14 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following spring. The follow up "Purely by Coincidence" reached No11 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1975. Both songs were written by David Parton. Band members: Junior Daye (born 26 June 1950, Kingston, Jamaica) - vocalist. Roy Flowers (born 4 August 1951, Kingston, Jamaica) - drummer. Vincent James (born 12 February 1951, St. Mary's, Jamaica) - vocalist. Barry Johnson (born 20 August 1954, Kingston, Jamaica) - bassist. Marcel King (born Marcel Neville King, 4 January 1958, Manchester — died 5 October 1995) - vocalist. St. Clair L. Palmer (born 4 March 1954, St. Kitts) - vocalist. Gary Shaugnessy (born 25 July 1953, Manchester) - guitarist. Leroy Smith (born 3 September 1952, Kingston, Jamaica - died 15 January 2009) - keyboardist.

XFM 92.3 Philippines Sweet SensationPreviously known as MRS 92.3 - Most Requested Song, Joey @ Rhythms 92.3 and later 923 Joey, the station started broadcasting in 1963 under the call letters DWFM. Nation Broadcasting Corporation was born in 1963 as a result of the vision of one of Philippine radio's pioneers - Abelardo Yabut Sr. DWFM - contemporary radio was a familiar jingle heard across the city...a jingle which even included its broadcast location "...in Makati". In 1975, 92.3 moved to the FM dial and adopted the MRS format - "Most Requested Song" which featured soft pop, ballads, fairly adult contemporary. MRS 92.3 quickly became one of the top rated stations on FM and kept that distinction throughout most of its life, MRS was one of a handful of FM stations in Manila that defined the very popular adult contemporary format for a long time. www.eradioportal.com
