| Eurythmics (often incorrectly referred to as "The Eurythmics") is a British musical duo, formed in 1980 by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart.They are noted for their intelligent pop songs, which showcase Lennox's powerful and expressive alto voice, and Stewart's innovative production techniques.The pair had first worked together as members of The Tourists.During this time, they were also romantic partners.This band achieved modest commercial success, but the experience was reportedly an unhappy one.Lennox and Stewart decided their next project should be much more flexible and free from artistic compromise.Calling themselves "Eurythmics" after a dance technique (Eurythmy; see also Eurhythmics) Lennox had encountered as a child at her school, they decided to keep themselves as the only permanent members and songwriters, and involve others in the collaboration as they saw fit "on the basis of mutual compatibility and availability".RCA Records decided to retain the pair from their Tourists recording contract.Their first album saw them continue to work in Cologne with the legendary Conny Plank (who had produced the later Tourists sessions).Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, and flautist Tim Wheater.Two singles from the album also flopped, though "Never Gonna Cry Again" made the UK charts.They began to employ much more electronics in their music, collaborating with Raynard Faulkner and Adam Williams.Eurythmics' commercial breakthrough came with Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (1983 in music), whose hit single of the same name featured a dark, powerfully sequenced synth bass line and a striking video that introduced the orange crew cut Lennox sported to fame.The album became a huge British hit due to the title track, which quickly topped the American charts as well.Lennox was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.Queen of America" among them).Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), was released in late 1983 and spawned three major hits.Michael Kamen) that led the album.The video went into heavy rotation on MTV."Right By Your Side" showed a different side of Eurythmics altogether, and Touch solidified the duo's reputation as being major talents and cutting edge musicians.Also released in 1984, the Eurythmics soundtrack album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother).Radford later said that the music had been "foisted" on his film against his wishes, and that Virgin had replaced most of Dominic Muldowney's original orchestral score with the Eurythmics soundtrack (including the song "Julia", which was heard during the end credits).However, the record was presented as "music derived from the original score of Eurythmics for the Michael Radford film version of Orwell's 1984".Eurythmics charged that they had been misled by the film's producers as well, and the album was withdrawn from the market for a period while matters were litigated.Four)", was huge in the UK, Australia and in Europe, and a major dance hit in the United States, but its supposedly suggestive title (actually taken from the "Newspeak" phrase used in Orwell's book) resulted in many U.Almost a dozen other musicians were enlisted, including members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, guest harmonica from Stevie Wonder, bass guitar from Dean Garcia, string arrangements by Michael Kamen, and Lennox singing duets with Aretha Franklin and Elvis Costello.It continued the duo's transatlantic chart domination in 1985, and contained four hit singles: "Would I Lie to You?"Billboard top five hit, while "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" (featuring Wonder's harmonica contribution) became their first and only UK number one single."Missionary Man" reached number 14 on the U.Hot 100 chart and would be regarded as something of a Eurythmics classic.Eurythmics went on a massive worldwide tour in support of this album, and a live concert video from the tour was released."Thorn in My Side" powered the UK success of Revenge, which remains Eurythmics' best selling album to date.Lennox and Stewart reunited in 1987 (see 1987 in music) for the album, Savage.This saw a fairly radical change within the group's sound, being based mainly around drum loops, with synth and guitar parts fairly low in the mix (Lennox would later say that where Revenge was more of a Stewart album in sound, Savage was more of a Lennox one).Lyrically the songs showed an even darker, more obsessive side to Lennox's writing."Beethoven (I Love to Listen to)", a UK hit and fan favourite).Much less commercial than the two previous albums, Savage was mostly ignored in the U.The brazen, sexually charged rocker "I Need a Man" remains a Eurythmics staple, as does the delicate "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart".Eurythmics single "17 Again" when Lennox sang "Sweet Dreams are made of anything that gets you in the scene".In 1989, Eurythmics released the solid We Too Are One, a UK number one hit that did rather poorly in the United States, although "Don't Ask Me Why" grazed the Billboard top 40.Savage had, indicating that America wasn't ready to dismiss Eurythmics.Lennox needed a break and took time off to have a baby and to consider a new direction after Eurythmics.Years of being constantly together had created a rift in the relationship between the duo; the two had virtually no communication with each other from 1990 to 1998.In 1993, a live album featuring recordings from various years throughout Eurythmics' career was also released.In 1992 (see 1992 in music), Lennox released a solo album, Diva, which was a critical and popular sensation, while Stewart began writing film soundtracks and formed a band called "The Spiritual Cowboys", releasing two albums with this group.Candy Dulfer, "Lily Was Here."Eurythmics reunited in 1999 (see 1999 in music) and released Peace.The band also embarked on a world tour, dubbed Peacetour, to support the album.The year 2000 saw numerous European festival appearances by Eurythmics (at Germany's Rock am Ring, among others).These mark the last concert appearances of Eurythmics.In 2001, Stewart performed with U2 for the "America: A Tribute To Heroes" benefit concert.In November 2003 Eurythmics played three songs at the 46664 (concerts) in Cape Town.David Stewart was a big part in the organisation of this show.They played an unplugged version of "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Seven Seconds" with Youssou N'Dour and "Sweet Dreams".On November 7, 2005, Eurythmics released Ultimate Collection, a remastered greatest hits package with two new songs.Virgin Records holds the rights to that album.In March 2006, the Steve Angello remix of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", entered the top 10 on French internet retailer FNAC's sales chart.Eurythmics have had 9 top ten hits.No two songs have peaked at the same position.The only position they have failed to achieve is No.Eurythmics were mentioned in the They Might Be Giants song, "Rhythm Section Want Ad" on their debut album.Discography
