Sally's musical career started in 1968 when she founded the folk duo "Sallyangie" together with brother Mike. Even though Sallyangie had some initial success and released an album, "Children of the Sun", in 1969, the duo split up in the fall of the same year due to artistic differences, and Sally and Mike went their own ways for a time.
