Love Child was the second album released by the New York-based Latin freestyle trio Sweet Sensation. Released April 1990, this was the follow-up to its platinum-selling 1988 debut album, Take It While It's Hot. This album basically contained the same up-tempo feel as its first album, but this time, the group decided to throw in a few lavish R&B-styled ballads. The album's title song was a cover version of a #1 R&B/#1 Pop smash by the Supremes. Sweet Sensation's version went to #15 on Billboard's dance chart and #13 on Billboard's pop chart. However, it was the album's second single that gave the group its biggest hit ever, “If Wishes Came True,” which was a lavishly orchestrated ballad, featuring a classical-guitar intro, a soaring electric guitar solo, and heartfelt vocals by Betty Lebron. The song spent one week at #1 on Billboard's pop chart in September 1990, while going top-ten on Billboard's R&B and Adult Contemporary charts. The album also spawned two more hit singles: "Each And Every Time" (#51), and "One Good Man" (#72), and it peaked at #78 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It was certified platinum by the RIAA during the spring of 1991.
