Early life and education

Song was born in 1946 in what was then Jeonlla Province, now North Jeolla Province. His grandfather often ran afoul of the Japanese occupation authorities for his support of Korean independence. Song's father disappeared during the Korean War and has never been found. As such, he was raised by his mother, graduating from high school in Jeonju. In 1965, he moved to Seoul and became acquainted with Son Jin-seok, the president of Oasis Records, becoming a singer.

Career

Song released an album in 1971, though it was his 1975 album that helped propel him to stardom.
