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".
