Little known fact though, some of the vocals aren’t Annie, on Must Be Talking To An Angel, Sweet Dreams, Missionary Man, and others, some backing vocals were done by other singers, such as Joniece Jamison who also helped give Shakespeare’s Sister a similar boost. The backing vocals were always duly credited on the inlay sleeves and if you take notice Annie never mimes to those parts on the videos, Joniece even appears on the Missionary Man video and on live shows, and don’t anybody get me wrong, it was mainly all Annie for the most part, but many people don’t realise that, mostly during the unworded parts when things get really high, echoey and intricate, it isn’t all Annie. Just worth pointing that out because many people mistakenly believe it is.

Annie is a very accomplished musician on her own. She was literally weeks away from graduating from the Royal Academy of Music where she studied the flute, piano and harpsichord when she dropped out to play those instruments in bands. By the way, Dave long ago credited her with writing most of the lyrics to all their songs. He joked that every time she borrowed his coat, when he got ir back the pockets would be filled with napkins, gum wrappers, etc., with lyric ideas she had scribbled on them. In a biography he credits her with spontaneously coming up with the lyrics to “Sweet Dreams” while listening to some synth music he had recorded on a reel to reel. The tinkling you hear when she sings “hold your head up, keep your head up” is actually both of them tapping on milk bottles.

Annie Lennox is the definition of Blue Eyed Soul. She sang a duet with Aretha Franklin and belted out ‘Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves’ right along with Aretha. They were friends from that time on until Aretha’s passing. Check that song out when you can.

@snorpenbass4196

Жыл бұрын

Not sure who told you that, but it's not true. Aretha barely talked to Annie throughout the making of the song and the video. Later, Annie found out it was because Aretha thought she was a lesbian (she's not, but she is an ally). Aretha was, like many women her age, very...conservative about some things.

I remember that !

As a kid who graduated high school in 1984, Annie Lennox was beyond amazing. She may not have started the "Androgynous movement", but she was the one who brought it to American kids. She challenged the ideas of what women were supposed to look like at the time.

The cow was a reference to how the music industry treats artists - basically as cattle that need to be fed and herded only for profit. Everything about this song and video were extremely radical for the time - the song itself, Annie's presentation with the hair and the suit (she was anything BUT the traditional presentation of a female artist) and Dave Stewart's creepy/cool/techno instrumentation. That time period (late 1970s/early 1980s) was a very radical experiment in what could be considered "mainstream" music (The Cars, The Pretenders, etc.)

The singing, the andogynous look, the style was just absolutely riveting.

Sadly there were musical differences, and after this massive hit the cows didn't stay part of the band, and they split off to form their own group, 'Eurythmilks' to produce something fresh.

The video was inspired by a Fellini film -Juliet of the Spirits - the idea was to put things together that shouldn't be together, in a surreal way - here we have technology and nature. Eurythmics stated that when they put the cow in the boardroom it was out of place but when they put the technology in nature it seemed to fit. You should try the video for their songs Beethoven (I love to listen to) and Love is Stranger - Annie took on different personas and played with characters. Infamously she performed Sweet Dreams at the Grammys dressed as a man and had to provide MTV with her birth certificate to prove she was female after the station watched the Love is a Stranger video where she removes her wig and thought she was a male transvestite.

I'm a big 80's fan and this song comes on regularly, when my daughter was little she miss heard the lyrics and was singing cream cheese are made of these , she's 15 now, and still tease her whenever this plays. Another fantastic English/Scottish group, Annie Lenox is Scottish. Check out Annie Lennox walking on broken glass, if you really want to listen to her voice properly

Anne is like a female Bowie or Freddy Mercury -- chimerical, always trying something new, with an amazing voice. One of these Female Fridays, you might want to try "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant.

If you want more Annie Lennox, I highly suggest ‘Into the West’ from The Lord of the Rings. One of the most powerful songs I can think of and her voice is enchanting.

The first time I heard it I was like that's Annie then double checked because I was doubted by a family member. Her voice is so distinctive.

From the days when TALENT was at the forefront. Anne Lennox was full of it, probably the best woman singer from the 80"s Amazing.

Best woman singer? mmmmm, Whitney Houston probably holds that title, but Annie is excellent for sure.

Dave Stewart the other half of the Eurythmics was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, He and Annie were originally part of a group called ‘The Tourists.’ He lived near my mother-in-Law and went to the same schools as my wife and sister-in-law.

Annie Lennox's Walking on Broken Glass is worth a watch and reaction. Cheers from the Jersey Shore

Annie and Dave Stewart, guitarist, used to be a couple around this time. She's a powerhouse vocalist. They had many hits. As mentioned awhile back please react to, "Love is a stranger", and "Right by your side". Also her duet with Aretha Franklin, Sisters are doing it for themselves. The 80s sisterhood theme!

Walking on broken glass.

This song never gets old because it’s so true! Another great British group! The Eurythmics were one of the best groups of the eighties! Annie’s voice is amazing and she went on to have a successful solo career! ❤️❤️

Annie Lennox is a legend. Incredible woman and amazing voice.

Try 1. Carly Simon: “Jesse” such an (underplayed and underrated song)“He’s so vain”, “You Belong to Me”, “coming around again”…. So many great songs 2. Carol King “so far away”, “I feel the earth move”, “it’s too late”, “will you still love me tomorrow“

Oh oh and Beethoven is another one to consider, one of the most kick arse tracks in my humble opinion

Love is a Stranger is one of my fav's. She was a legend. She was VERY avant garde in my day as a young teen girl. She blew us away. She is a true class act!!!

This song and Here Comes the Rain Again blew everyone's minds when it came out. The perfect MTV songs. It's hilarious that you mentioned Marilyn Manson because he does an awesome cover of this.

Other Eurythmics to hear: "Missionary Man", "Would I Lie to You?", "Here Comes the Rain Again", "I saved the world"! Annie is so good and I think she is the real queen of the 80s! They probably had a big hit every year of the 80s just about!

AWESOME! NEXT UP: WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS WHY WOULD I LIE TO YOU!

A voice from heaven and hell that never let's you down.

"Who's That Girl" or "Love Is A Stranger" needs to go on your lists for Female Fridays!

StILL waiting on Linda Ronstadt singing “ someone to lay down beside me.” It is the BEST. Amber, you will LOVE it. Some pretty piano for J. PlEASE, please please. she was the #1 female in the 70’s. Nobody could touch her. Her back up band eventually became the Eagles. I could go on and on about her. Another good tune by her is “ You’re no good.”

His cover is very good.

This entire song was just Annie and Dave--her vocals, his multi-track synth. It's all Annie, all synth, no other backup singers or orchestration.

Eurythmics are awesome! Chk out "Here Comes the Rain Again". Annie's "Walking On Broken Glass", "No More I Love You's" and "WHY" are totally worth checking out!!

I would recommend "There Must Be an Angel" too. haunting melody and her voice is literally angelic

Annie Lennox is a Diva. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan she performs the song Into the West; a beautiful, haunting melody. You have to listen to "Why".

I tell you what. I am 54 and look back on the 80s so fondly!! MTV brought us music 24/7......but it was the VIDEOS that took music to a new level back then!! Just as KZread has for today's times. I am SOOOOOOOO DANG ON HAPPY to see you both enjoying music that has been part of the soundtrack to my life.

So much to explore with Annie and Dave; When Tomorrow Comes, Miracle of Love, , Who’s That Girl, I Saved The World Today, 17 Again, and much more… Just keep exploring and you’ll keep being amazed.

A similar group for Female Friday would be Alison Moyet of Yazoo - a few great songs are Situation, and Don't Go (both of these were standards in early 90's dance clubs) or Only You (soft and melodic). Alison has a killer voice, and Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode/Erasure does some of his best work as a vanguard of synth-pop.

When this song dropped back in the day… it was like a bomb dropped. It was played everywhere!

For more Eurythmics, I suggest "Would I Lie To You?" (my fave) and "Here Comes the Rain Again."

"I hate to pause this early....(yet I do it on EVERY video)" LOL!

Necessary for monetization.

Eurythmics set the tone babies. A tectonic plate shift of music and production. Derivative and original combined as well. Amazing talent.

One of the greatest songs of all time. Annie has some serious pipes on her.
