Dollar, a British pop vocal duo made up of David Van Day and Thereza Bazar, formed in England in 1978 after meeting at age 17 while auditioning for UK pop act Guys 'n' Dolls. Their debut single "Shooting Star" reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart in late 1978, while the duo's first self-written hit, "Love's Gotta Hold on Me", entered the Top 10 and climbed to number four on the UK chart. Dollar released their debut album Shooting Stars in 1979, which made the Top 40. In 1981, their collaboration with super-producer Trevor Horn resulted in four hit singles, including "Mirror Mirror" and "Give Me Back My Heart", both of which reached the Top 10. Their third album, The Dollar Album, was released in October 1982 and peaked at number 18 in the UK. In February 1983, David Van Day parted ways with the band during a promotional trip to Japan, leading to their demise. The duo reformed in 1986 and released "O l'amour" in late 1987, which became one of their biggest hits, peaking at number seven. However, internal conflicts led to another disbandment in late 1988. Dollar's final single, "It's Nature's Way", was released in mid-1988 but didn't achieve commercial success. Post-split Dollar releases include Shooting Stars: The Dollar Collection (2002) and The Very Best Of Dollar (2008).
