Mama Country: Sally Vaughn.

In 1983 Sally earned a Sarie award with her songs:

"The Teddy Bear Song" and "With You" on her album "Mama Country"

as "Best Female Country Singer".By this time she was already known

as "Mama Country", a title bestowed on her by Lance James. Lance

decided to present Sally's rendition of "Glory Glory Hallelujah" to the

American Country Music Association, and shortly thereafter Sally was

invited to visit the USA.

In June 1984 Sally performed in Nashville, Tennessee, at the annual

Country Awards and received a standing ovation for her songs

"Glory Glory Hallelujah" and "Somewhere Between". She was invited

as one of the lead performers a year later and again received a standing ovation.

In 1989 Sally Vaughn, Lance James, Clive Bruce, Billy Forrest and Joanna Field began the group: "Over The Hillbillies", and released five albums the following year.Then tragedy struck. In 1981 Sally was involved in a motor-car accident and came close to having a leg amputated. But this gutsy lady followed up by performing to audiences from her wheelchair!
