Somewhat surprisingly, the arrival of the Eurythmics was late by today's pop standards where teenage pop, Disney and Nickelodeon divas are churned out at a restless pace beginning in their teens. The 1980s seemed to tap into something magical and some real talent (Thompson Twins, Tears For Fears) burst forth engineering some of the world's damn near finest pop music ever made. With the arrival of Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (1983) the Eurythmics hit pay dirt, their stride and sound. Next to acts like Duran Duran, Eurythmics was one of those outfits that could turn a tune, craft a pop confection with artful mastery. Lennox, born in 1954, and Stewart, born in 1952, enjoyed a romantic partnership along with their creative link in the early going. It was 1981 before the duo of Lennox and Stewart forged the Eurythmics and released their debut, In The Garden, under the duo's now famous moniker.

It's been an astounding forty-year partnership or association making beautiful music.Īnnie Lennox was well into her early twenties when she started to get noticed joining studio genius David A.

Seeing her together with Stewart again will no doubt be a thrill. And by God, that voice hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland, always sent goose bumps up the spine. I hardly believe she'll miss a beat performing Fool On The Hill, but have yet to see it. Stewart for The Beatles tribute (scheduled for Feb 9) performed in Los Angeles following the Grammy Awards. Singer Annie Lennox reunited with David A. For years Lennox appeared to channel David Bowie's visual style with a love for altering character for each performance. She was indeed a big part of what made the 80s so vibrant. There was indeed a sexy intelligence to their style clashing the old world with the new in both sound and style. The image of Lennox in a board room juxtaposed by farm pastures and a dairy cow as well as classical instruments signalled a group that embraced a collision of ideas new and old. Launching the haunting electronica, the Eurythmics mastered the visual medium as much as it did the music. From the moment singer Annie Lennox arrived on the world stage in the music video for Sweet Dreams (1982-1983) with her close-cropped red hair, while androdynously attired in a business suit, a star was born.

Dreams so real rar
