Bananarama is a British Pop/Hi-NRG/Dance duo of singer-songwriters, formerly a trio, that formed in London, United Kingdom in 1981. Originally formed by members are Sarah Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Early successful singles were collaborations with
Fun Boy Three.
Guiness Book of World Records listed Bananarama as the most successful British girl group in history (they have since been eclipsed by
Spice Girls).
Fahey left the group in 1988 and later formed
Shakespear's Sister; she now performs as a solo artist. Fahey replacement Jacquie O'Sullivan (formerly of the
Shillelagh Sisters) left the trio after one album. Dallin and Woodward have recorded as a duo since since 1992. Banananarama's tenth studio album, "Viva" was released on September 14, 2009. It includes the hit singles, "Love Comes" and "Love Don't Live Here." In November 2010, a new single "Baby It's Christmas" was released in the UK and the U.S. The single is also featured on the compilation album, "Super Dance Christmas Party ,Vol. 3."
