Thereza Bazar
Thereza Bazar (born 23 May 1957, Toronto is a British-Canadian singer, best known as one half of the pop duo, Dollar.
Bazar first found fame 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.[1] Disillusioned with the direction of the band, she and then-boyfriend and fellow 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. [2]
Bazar's solo career was less successful. She released an album and single in 1985, both entitled 'The Big Kiss'.[3]
Bazar is now living in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two sons. Nevertheless, she has occasionally returned to the UK to reform Dollar, for events such as The Prince's Trust "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. [4][5]
In March 2008, Bazar and Van Day reunited with Guys n Dolls for several TV appearances in The Netherands. They original six members have reunited for a concert to be held in Amsterdam on 17th 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.
