Pop music in Britain would have been unthinkable these past ten years without the sight and sound of BANANARAMA, a group who have literally dominated the charts since their inception in the early 80īs. BANANARAMA are Britain's most successful all girl group ever. With 26 hit singles and 6 chart bound LPīs to their credit, they have also brought to pop music a much needed sense of unpretentious fun that has endeared them to millions.Yet in 1983 such feats must have been well removed from the collective thoughts of Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey. Back in those days, Keren was to be found working for the HOC whilst Sara and Siobhan marked time at the London College of Fashion where they studied journalism.The girls decided to spend their nights climbing up on stages in London clubs and singing live to backing tapes. Bruce Springsteen was just one of the many celebrities to see and be impressed by their act at this time.This live work led to a recording session which produced the girls spirited version of "Alo A Mwana" which, in turn, gathered the group a lot of press, most notably in the Face where Terry Hail of the Fun Boy Three spotted the trio and asked them to work with his group.The result was the girls first chart placing (4) with "It Ainīt What You Do" (It's The Way That You Do It). "The Fun Boy Three liked us" Keren once explained, "because we were so unpompous" and there perhaps lays the secret to the girl's appeal.Certainly the British public took to the outfit like the proverbial duck to water and the group happily responded with a string of hits: "Really Saving Something", "Shy Boy", their first collaboration with producers Jolley and Swain. "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye", "Cruel Summer", "Robert de Niroīs Waiting", which led to a memorable meeting with the actor, and "Cheers Then", convinced the girls of their popularity and gave them a growing musical confidence. | |||
