Yeh was born in Taipei, Taiwan and immigrated to Canada at a young age with her family, growing up in Victoria, British Columbia.

In late 1986, Peel managed to get a hold of Chinese cover version records after visiting the BFBS at HNS Tamar in Hong Kong. One of the records included Sally Yeh, who did a cover of Madonna's Material Girl called 200 Degrees, which Peel often played. The Chinese lyrics of 200 Degrees were slightly different from Madonna's version, which had the Chinese translation of:
- "I get the itches when the temperature rises / The weather situation gets worse and worse / And my body explodes at 200 degrees."
