Sanjalice were formed at the end of 1964, when three female friends, Ljiljana Mandić, Slobodanka Miščević and Ljiljana Jevtić, all three living in the same building, influenced by
the Beach Boys and
the Walker Brothers, decided to form a band . The band's first lineup consisted of Ljiljana Mandić (vocals, guitar), Slobodanka Miščević (rhythm guitar, vocals), Ljiljana Jevtić (bass guitar), Vojislav Veljković (drums), and Radomir Vuković (organ), most of them
elementary school students at the time. Sanjalice had their first performance on 29 December 1964 in Belgrade's
Pionirski Grad, performing alongside duo DD and singers Zoran Rambosek and Mirko Šuoc. After Vuković left the group, as one of rare all-female rock bands in Yugoslavia, Sanjalice gained large attention of the Yugoslav media, but also praise from the country's music press. On the competition of bands entitled
Belgrade – Zagreb, held in 1967, they won the first place. When the
Simonida collection was presented in
Romania, the band traveled to the country to perform on the fashion shows, appearing also on Romanian national radio and television. Later that year, they released their second EP, with the songs "Marioneta" ("
Marionette", a cover of
Sandie Shaw song "
Puppet on a String"), "Znam da ćeš se vratiti" ("I Know You Will Come Back"), "Haj, Lili, haj-lo", and "Srećni zajedno" ("Happy Together", a cover of
The Turtles' "
Happy Together"), through
Diskos record label. ==Discography==
