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.
