Sweet Harmony

"Sweet Harmony" is a song by British band the Beloved, released on 11 January 1993 as the first and lead single from their second studio album, Conscience (1993). It remains the band's biggest hit, peaking at number eight in the UK and becoming a club staple. The single was followed by a much talked about music video, directed by Big TV, consisting of the band's singer Jon Marsh nude and surrounded by nude women in a heaven-like setting.

It was also the first single after the departure of Steve Waddington and was recorded at Sarm West Studios in London.
