The Doll (band)

The Doll formed in October 1977 with a line-up of Marion Valentine (Marion Sauva/Marion Valentino)(vocals, guitar), Adonis Yianni (keyboards), Christos Yianni (bass guitar), and Mario Watts (drums). They were signed by Beggars Banquet Records, who included their track "Trash" on the Streets compilation and issued their debut single, "Don't Tango on my Heart", in January 1978. Female singer Valentine became the unintended focus of attention from the press as a result, making her a 'punk sex symbol'. Christos Yanni (bass/vocals) joined the Shoppers, a post-punk band in the London scene with Steve Brain (guitar/lead vocals), Maxine Tarte (keyboards/vocals) and Gavin Hearne (lead guitar/vocals). ==Discography==
