Sale founded Delta 5 in 1979, alongside Ros Allen and Bethan Peters. Drummer Kelvin Knight would soon join. Their debut single, released in 1979, Mind Your Own Business, became their best-known hit and persisted in pop culture long after they broke up. The band released only one album, 1981’s See The Whirl.
