Eurythmics
Eurythmics are a British music duo consisting of members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. They are associated with the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. Stewart and Lennox were both previously in the band The Tourists, who split in 1980 and Eurythmics were formed that year. The duo released their first album,
In the Garden, in 1981 to little fanfare, but went on to achieve global success with their second album
Sweet Dreams , released in 1983. The title track was a worldwide hit, topping the chart in various countries including the US. The duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split in 1990. By this time, Stewart had already embarked on a parallel music career and was also a sought-after record producer, while Lennox began a solo recording career in 1992 with her debut album
Diva. After almost a decade apart, Eurythmics reformed in the late 1990s to record their ninth album,
Peace, which was released in late 1999. They reunited again in 2005 to release the single "I've Got a Life", as part of a new Eurythmics compilation album,
Ultimate Collection.
