The group enjoyed a number of hit singles dollar tree diy the mid-1970s and during this time Van Day and Bazar became romantically involved.
By 1977, the group was in decline and the pair complained about the choice of material and musical direction. Dollar’s first single, “Shooting Star”, was released in late 1978 and, after a slow climb, reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart. The follow-up, “Who Were You With in the Moonlight? 1979 and also reached number 14. In 1980, Dollar moved to WEA Records. Buoyed by the success of “Love’s Gotta Hold on Me”, the pair decided to write and produce all the songs for their second album.
Attempting a move towards a rockier sound, the album, along with its singles, failed to sell well. In 1981, Bazar approached record producer Trevor Horn, whom she had met during her days in Guys n’ Dolls, and asked if he would work with them. He agreed, and produced their 1981 and 1982 material. Horn’s production work gave Dollar a more distinctive sound, and their four Horn-produced singles represented the high point in the band’s career. During a promotional trip to Japan in February 1983, relations between the duo had become increasingly tempestuous and Van Day quit the band.
