Her career began as a part-time DJ at Commercial Radio Hong Kong in 1982, in which she got an unique nick name 611 (6+1+1=8, in Cantonese ‘8’ means being talkative and always questioning about gossips and other topics). Sandy joined SONY in 1983 and her debut in her Chinese name Lam Yik Lin was released in 1984. She rapidly became the most popular up-and-raising star. "Yik Lin", her third album released in 1987, reached double platinum and that's when her music career truly kicked off.
With heavy influences from Western music, Sandy’s music style started from cheesy Japanese teen pop to Light Jazz; and from there to R&B, Soul, or even Fusion. In fact, she is considered the only Hong Kong female singer with the best ad-libs. She has 27 full studio albums in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Japanese, and adding other EPs, live recordings, compilations and co-operations, there is more than 80 or more on the list.
Unlike many other singers in Hong Kong, audience recognizes Sandy as a true musician/performer, rather than an entertainer. You don’t find shocking make-up or extreme outfits from her; it is her pure voice which captured everyone’s heart. She rather spends her time producing an album instead of attending meaningless shows. Her fans admire her as who she is and the willingness to improve herself vocally, and such improvement is well-know in the industry like a miracle. In recent years, she is transforming herself: from singer to singer songwriter.
2005 marks the 20th anniversary of her music career. Being able to survive this long in Hong Kong entertainment scene is not an easy task, because of the high competition and people are being so forgetful. Looking back, it shouldn’t be a surprise after all, Sandy is the very first singer to blend in Jazz & R&B elements into Chinese music; she is one of the pioneers who marches into the Japanese music scene and the first singer to have two Chinese songs entering the Japan J-Wave Tokio Hot 100 music chart.
Moreover, she was the most successful Hong Kong singer to make it big in Taiwan by her first Mandarin release selling a record of 600,000 copies; she also participated in Asia’s first 47 days sold out Chinese musical "Snow Wolf Lake"; she was hand picked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to perform in The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber with Elaine Paige in Shanghai in 2001, and she was also picked to sing the Chinese version of Les Miserables’s theme song On My Own. A new kind of flower in Singapore is named after her name called Dendrobium Sandy.

林憶蓮 Lyrics
傷痕 夜已深 還有什麼人 讓你這樣醒著數傷痕 為何臨睡前會想要留一盞燈 你若不肯說 我就不問 只是你現在不得不承認 愛情有時候…
夜太黑 告別白晝的灰 夜色輕輕包圍 這世界正如你想要的那麼黑 霓虹裏人影如鬼魅 這城市隱約有種墮落的美 如果誰看來頹廢 他只是累…
情人的眼淚 為什麼要對你掉眼淚 你難道不明白是為了愛 只有那有情人眼淚最珍貴 一顆顆眼淚都是愛都是愛 為什麼要對你掉眼淚 你難道不…
聽說愛情回來過 在朋友那兒聽說 知心的你曾回來過 想請他替我向你問候 只為了怕見了說不出口 你對以往的感觸還多不多 曾讓我心碎的你 我依…
誘惑的街 這樣深的夜下過雨的街 連星光就要熄滅 你赴的是什麼樣的約 原無意說這些只是對你還有感覺 以為一切殘缺都能用愛解決 可是我…
走在大街的女子 走在大街的女子 林忆莲 黄昏交错的影子 重叠凌乱的心思 意乱情迷的城市 快乐悲哀都很容易忘记 传来的旋律有一点熟悉 风吹…
這些那些 相愛可以再快一些 只要感覺對 人心是多麼迂迴 不必太了解 關於這些那些 時間可以證明一切 分手可以容易一些 只要你懂拒…
