Career
Bazar first found fame in her teens as a member of 1970s group Guys 'n' Dolls, who scored a 1975 hit with There's A Whole Lot Of Lovin' and went on to have a short hit career, which also included Here I Go Again, a composition by the 17-year-old Bazar. Disillusioned with the direction of the band, she and then-boyfriend and band mate David Van Day broke away to form Dollar in 1977. Their hits started with Shooting Star in 1978, and continued, on and off, until "Oh L'amour" hit the Top Ten across Europe in the late 1980s.
Bazar's solo career was less successful. She released an album and single in 1985, both entitled The Big Kiss.
She has occasionally returned to the UK to reform Dollar, for events such as The Prince's Trust's Tribute To Trevor Horn concert at Wembley Arena in November 2004; a Here and Now Tour and the reality television show Reborn in the USA in 2003.
In March 2008, Bazar and Van Day reunited with Guys 'n' Dolls for several TV appearances in Holland. The original six members also reunited for a concert held in Amsterdam on 17 October.
In April 2008, Bazar and her son, Sam, appeared on the Australia television show, My Kid's a Star. In the first episode, Bazar made reference to her career as a pop star and images of various Dollar record covers were shown on screen.
In August 2008, Bazar took part in a makeover show with Van Day called Pop Goes the Band, which was screened on Living TV in February 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
