FRIDAY MIXING FUN!: THREE 80's GIRL GROUP 12" MEGAMIX

SWEET SENSATION VS. THE COVER GIRLS VS. EXPOSE' 

I'd thrown this Megamix together on the fly yesterday, in time to have ready for this weekend.

Personally, I've been a fan of Expose' the longest, secondly The Cover Girls (especially the 90's configuration with co-lead singers Michelle Valentine and Evelyn Escalera), and was only a fan of a couple singles by Sweet Sensation.  Nonetheless, I have each and every LP by all three groups, and that's including the compilations and remix albums.  

When all three groups came out with hit singles between 1986-88, they all fell under the "Latin Freestyle/Dance" category.  Sweet Sensation called it quits after their two albums, and when The Cover Girls and Expose' continued into the 90's, drastically changed their music styles.  The Cover Girls hired two new lead singers and became more of an R&B and later hip-hop group and Expose', losing lead singer Gioia, were on their last LP trying to be molded by their label to become a group along the lines of Wilson Phillips.  Expose' temporarily broke up around 1995 and Cover Girls in 1997.  

Today, all three groups are reunited with their original lineup's and touring America at smaller venues.  

SWEET SENSATION: "TAKE IT WHILE IT'S HOT" [1988]
THE COVER GIRLS: "ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN'T GOLD" [1989]
EXPOSE': "WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW" [1989]




HONORABLE MENTION:  KLYMAXX, ANOTHER 80's GIRL GROUP WITH ABOUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MEMBERS OF SWEET SENSATION, THE COVER GIRLS AND EXPOSE' COMBINED!  THEY TOO CONTINUED INTO THE 90's.:

"YOU'RE THE GREATEST" [1981]
