Editor's note

Bananarama's London pop, from Venus to later duets

The trio that became a duo, with hits that soundtracked the 80s and kept going.

For the early sound, "Cruel Summer" still holds up. Later, something like "Love" shows how they adapted as a duo.

Their cover of Shocking Blue's "Venus" broke them internationally, hitting number one in multiple countries. Songs like "Cruel Summer" and "Robert De Niro's Waiting" became part of the decade's pop fabric. Even after Siobhan Fahey left in 1988, Dallin and Woodward kept putting out tracks like "Love" and "Move In My Direction."

They formed in London in the early 1980s with Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward. Their first single, "Aie a Mwana," came out in 1981. In 2005, the original trio got back together for some shows and an album called "Drama."
