Singer Sally Carr was born Sarah Cecilia Carr on March 28, 1945. Her father was a miner while her mother Cecilia was an invalid who was bedridden until her death at age 62. Carr has four brothers. Carr used to sing with the rest of her family around a piano when she was a child. In the 1960's Sally worked as a hairdresser and sang at both pubs and clubs in the evenings (she also worked as a waitress at various pubs). The first group Carr was a member of was The Southerners. Sally achieved her greatest popularity in the early 1970's as the lead singer of the Scottish pop band Middle of the Road. Carr married journalist Chick Young in 1978; the couple had a son named Keith in 1980, but eventually separated in 1984. (Sadly, Keith was killed in a motorcycle accident on January 18, 2001.) Sally still continues to sing as part of a new incarnation of Middle of the Road. Hide
