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
夜有所夢 夜有所梦(粤) 夜有所梦 我的天似黑洞 化出你心胸 夜有所梦 我的心似一梦 正跟你相通 完全不分轻重 曾围绕的都失踪…
時光本是無罪 时光本是无罪（粤） 过去是养活我的水 爱里共你埋头安睡 心意日夜追随 从来没疑虑 我知道天天抱着谁 最爱是贴着你身躯 …
本色 歌名: 本色 演唱: 林忆莲 专辑: 本色 你又回来 我亦回来 一些发展尚待 旧事尚在 但是现在 一街张灯结彩 来吧别见…
為何他會離開你 為了他令你哭為你哭令我哭 為你很顧慮 能為你跟他一對 撥過無盡冷水 為愛他為掛他為怨他為了他習慣受罪 如今他走了請不要追…
還是我 還是你 专辑：本色 还是我 还是你 尚有隔世的惊喜 怀著这颗心见你 砰然堕地 是 还是极爱你 来 偿还从前滋味 你 对过我不起…
