Thereza Bazar (born 23 May 1955) is a Canadian-born British singer, best known as one half of the pop duo, Dollar. ==Career== Bazar met with success 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 career, which also included "Here I Go Again", a composition by the 17-year-old Bazar.〔(Chartstats.com – Guys N Dolls UK Discography )〕 Disillusioned with the direction of the group, 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. They then had several big hits including "Love's Gotta Hold on Me" in 1979, "Mirror Mirror" in 1981 and "Give Me Back My Heart" in 1982, until "Oh L'amour" which hit the Top 10 across Europe in 1987.〔(Chartstats.com – Dollar UK Discography )〕 Bazar's solo career was less successful. She released an album and single in 1985, both entitled ''The Big Kiss''.〔(Chartstats.com – "The Big Kiss" Chart details )〕 She contributed vocals to two Gary Numan songs, "Noise Noise" and "Bridge, What Bridge?" which featured as b-sides to Numan's 1982 Top 20 single "Music For Chameleons". 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; the Here and Now Tour and the reality television show ''Reborn in the USA'' in 2003.〔(The Guardian.co.uk – "Here and Now" tour article )〕〔(imdb.com – ''Reborn in the USA'' )〕〔(Musicomh.com – Trevor Horn album )〕 In March 2008, Bazar and Van Day reunited with the other members of Guys 'n' Dolls for several TV appearances in the Netherlands.
