They had countless hits on the UK (and European) charts during the late seventies and early eighties, including Shooting Star, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Hand Held In Black And White, Mirror Mirror, Give Me Back My Heart, Videotheque and O L'Amour (which was their last Top 10 hit in 1988).
Since Dollar's spilt in 1988 they have had various reunions including the TV show Reborn In The USA in 2002, the eighties revival tour Hear & Now and in 2002 - a tribute concert to producer Trevor Horn at Wembey Arena in 2004. Their latest reunion was earlier on this year for Living TV’s new show Pop Goes The Band giving pop stars from the eighties a makeover.
In addition to Dollar, David joined the successful band Bucks Fizz in the 90’s performing along side original Fizzer Bobby Gee.
