Biography

Bananarama is an English female pop group who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982. Although there have been line-up changes during the years, the group enjoyed its most popular success as a trio, made up of lifelong friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. In 1988, Bananarama entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group who have the most chart entries in history, a record they still hold. "Venus" is a 1969 song by the Dutch band Shocking Blue which the group took to number one in the U.S. and five countries across Europe in 1970. Notably covered by Bananarama, the song returned to number one in the U.S. and topped the charts in six other countries around the world in 1986.
