Annie Lennox is one of the great vocalists EVER, not just the 80s. The woman is AMAZING. Dave Stewart was a genius.
She and Dave were married at one time. After the divorce, she said something to the effect that “living together is harder than working together.”
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.
And she does all that with amazing diction. You can actuall understand the words!
Nice avatar district 9 was a great movie
Might be the greatest deeper haunting voice ever.
She’s a shapeshifter kinda like David Bowie was. Always evolving, always different and ALWAYS exquisitely artistic and dramatic. She’s still doing it, too. ❤️❤️❤️
I think that may be a stretch to compare Annie to Bowie, in my opinion Bowie is peerless.
American broadcasters banned them originally for their first video Love Is A Stranger due to Annie Lennox's androgynous image...
Agree, completely!
@@kevinbarrett9068 : Annie is peerless as well.
Subversive. That describes acts like Bowie and Lennox and others out there. They take your normal musical conventions and throw them out the window each record and sometimes each song.
I'm surprised, guys, thhat you haven't tried another Eurythmics cut. Would I Lie to You is a butt kicker.
Linda Ronstadt was asked who she thought was the female singer that she thought was the most revolutionary new singer, she said that Annie Lennox was the one that stood higher then any other. and to get a compliment like that from Linda Ronstadt is one of the highest honors.
I've lost all respect for Ronstadt because of what I've heard about her sleeping around to get to the top. I saw her on one of the late night shows quite awhile ago, and she was a total B**ch. She complained about nuns being stupid, etc. No nice comments about anyone.
@@gmatt200 you are a fool. Ronstadt made other musicians stars. She introduced people to each other and helped create great collaborations. People have sex, they have relationships. Men and women. Only a jerk assumes that women do it to get ahead.
ANYTHING from her "Diva" album.
"Why"
"Walking on Broken Glass"
"Cold"
"Little Bird"
Y'all will NOT be disappointed.
no more i love yous too
Watch her "Little Bird" video! As she sings, numerous transvestites sashay onstage, dressed as Annie's characters from all her previous videos. My very favorite.
"Why"
"Walking on Broken Glass" PLEASE!!!!!!
Agree with Why. There is a live version with just her and she’s playing the piano.
YES!
Another Annie Lennox classic is “Here Comes The Rain Again” The visuals there are just stunning!
My fav of theirs. But all it their music is an experience!!
Starring the old man of hoy in Orkney.
No more "I love you"s
Or When tomorrow comes live from Sydney" thats a real good performance....
You are referring to The Eurythmics.. NOT Annie's solo career. You can't erase Dave Stewart
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 instrument the solo was played on, too small to be a cello, too big to be a violin, is called a viola.
@Frank Thinnes @Rob Squad Reactions might miss the cowbell in-joke of the whole generation, but if they see this, it isn't too late to look up "Christopher Walken SNL cowbell" and "Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper"
I believe the cows are in reference to the noise you hear when you see them that was drumming on empty glass milk bottles
The sound is made from glass milk bottles filled with water.
@Frank Thinnes we need more!
Annie was the vocals, Dave was everything else. He deserves a huge amount of credit for the success of the Eurythmics.
Amen
he does but can we just give the female some credit on Female Friday? She is an incredible singer songwriter in her own right and has achieved a hell of a lot on her own
Nope. The music was a complete collaboration between the two of them. She wasn’t just the voice, as if that voice wasn’t enough.
I highly disagree with this. They co-wrote songs together. With a vocalist like that, I'M SURE HER INPUTS WERE IN THERE TOO!
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.
Canadian here. Annie Lennox is queen. QUEEN.
Old lady here. I LOVE Annie's voice. She had a duet with Aretha Franklin called "Sisters are Doing it for Themselves. Female Friday suggestion: Chaka Khan Ain't Nobody
YES!!!!!
Double "YES"
Absolutely!!!!!!
Chaka Khan!!!
Dear Debbie.. I am 67. I am not old, because I think of myself as younger. I think I am in my late 30's . I feel great. Having said that, I love your picks. I hope they listen to them. Have a great day!
Next Up: "Here Comes the Rain Again" - by the same group, Eurythmics.
❤️
Back club mix.. fantastic times 😂😂😂
Also not a group one but her cover of No More I Love Yous.
Sweet dreams was a reaction to the way they were treated by record executives when trying to get or renew their contracts, hence the ‘chorus’ of “some of them want to use you, some of them want to be used by you, some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused” as a general description of executive / artist relations in the early 1980’s when the “casting couch” was as much a part of getting signed as an artist as it was in the film industry in places.
She is one of Scotland’s gems, react to Broken Glass by Annie Lennox herself
Why is better
@@jonhanson6128 why? 😂
And then No More I Love Yous!!!!
Broken glass agreed, shows the pull of Annie Lennox with all A listers in the video
nice , you to say that Billy, when she made the Diva album, i wll not say any song, it was and still is, stunning, every song, it's just one of those. tc, fellow Scotman and yes i am from Aberdeen.
My favorite song by far is “Would I Lie To You”. She lets it rip in this song !! Also, all the horns in it is awesome!!! Hope you check this out to see the range she has is unbelievable.
That is my favorite, too! You can get down to that one. Not the type of dance that is cool now, which I call "Simulated sex on a dance floor", but foot stompin' hands up, rocking around a floor. So good.
My favorite!!!!!
Love is a stranger is awesome too
Another great one for her range is “There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)” - and you can’t go wrong with Stevie Wonder playing Harmonica on it!
The video for that is a good time too🙂
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.
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 !
Annie put out a solo album “Diva” In it her voice does ALL singing & backups. It was groundbreaking for the time. React to Walking on Broken Glass. In fact entire album is 1st class as is she.
I didn’t realize just how amazing her voice is until I saw Michelle Chamuel sing “Why” on The Voice. It struck me that she was the first person I’d seen perform an Annie Lennox song…then I started really thinking about Annie’s songs and I realized that I’d never really LISTENED to it. I may have been listening to her songs, but I wasn’t paying attention to how incredible the singing was. I realized that the reason I’d never seen someone performing her music before is because it would be very difficult to do what Annie does vocally.
Phenomenal album, with some real kick-ass songs, as well as beautiful ballads. Once the CD is in my car stereo, it sometimes stays for 10 replays!
Little Bird, from that album, is good too, and the video is a hoot.
Not many people talk about them, but I really like Stay By Me and Primitive, too.
didnt she sing the "Vampire love song" for bram stockers dracula movie?
@@finex666 She did, indeed. Love Song For A Vampire.
Some more favorites:
"Would I Lie to You"
"Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves"
"Missionary Man"
"Here Comes the Rain Again"
" I Need a Man"
Yes Missionary man .
Annie Lennox is an absolute legend. There was such a huge amount and sheer scale of talent back then which we simply have not got anymore. But music never dies and will always stay. You guys rock, awesome video
The total amount of talent in the world doesnt change. Today it's just harder to find
In the 80's Annie really stood out as so different. Women didn't wear such a short hair cut & so colorful, only Cindi Lauper was rockin' crazy hair color. Her wardrobe was completely opposite of what female artists were wearing (Cindi Lauper, Madonna..etc). This is such a great 80's song. Marilyn Manson also recorded this song some years back & I really like his version too. So glad you liked this!
Yes, Marilyn Manson version.
Yes, she was the first truly “weird” artist I remember seeing as a child (Boy George followed shortly thereafter), and I remember being fascinated by her orange hair. Friday Night Videos for the win! Haha.
More hits from Eurythmics:
- Who's That Girl
- It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)
- Would I Lie To You
- Missionary Man
- Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)
- I Need A Man
and the anthem they recorded with Aretha Franklin - Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves
...and Annie's solo masterpiece Walking on Broken Glass.
There must be an Angel
Also 'Here Comes the Rain Again' and 'Thorn In My Side'.
Who's that girl..such an 80s iconic song.my fav
"Love is a Stranger (In an open car)" and for creep factor, "Love Song for a Vampire." Please and thank you.
This song literally defined part of the the 80s in terms of music, style, fashion, art...it was impossible to miss. The influence is timeless. People who never even listened to techno or rock or even western music, half a world away, heard this song on repeat (I know - I experienced this traveling). Believe me...it was huge. It still is.
If you were a teenager to early 20's when this came out in 1983 it is hard to describe how mind blowing this song and video was. I remember the absolute buzz in college with people constantly chattering in class about "Did you see the video with the girl with orange hair!". The singing, the andogynous look, the style was just absolutely riveting. I remember some of the richer students who had one of those new fangled VCRs and would get a copy from MTV and they'd have watch parties where they'd just put this video on endless loop. Like I said the buzz was crazy.
Yes they pushed boundaries in so many ways, and definitely left their mark
This song is so good that even MariLyn Manson covered it. Annie's voice is legendary!
Yes! It's so funny that Jordan said that about the video!
In the 2000's (in my 20's) I guess I was working at a shoe store (journeys) in a mall and we had a music track that played in the background, and this little teenager was like "OMG I heard this GIRL singing this marilyn manson song and it was so lame".
I remember the first time I heard it. I had my radio on at work and a coworker and I looked at each other in shock when we heard Marilyn Manson's version.
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.
The series of split personalities videos are so good, Beethoven is one of my favourites. :)
Thanks for dropping the history on this, well done 👍 They were amazing.
For the American Music Awards or Grammy Awards she was dressed as Elvis and sang this .
@@matthewdrake4385 I remember Annie called that persona "Earl". 😆
I was a teenager when this came out and it blew my mind! I still love it.
Eurythmics are amazing, and they have almost as many sounds as Annie has looks. Whether it's 'Here Comes The Rain Again,' 'There Must Be An Angel,' and 'I Saved The World Today,' or 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This),' 'Missionary Man,' and 'Love Is A Stranger,' they're great.
Yes. All of those songs, plus her solo song "Why?" is also amaaaaazing.
my favourite thorn in my side
LISA STANSFIELD - "Been AROUND THE WORLD" - gorgeous and talented. SADE - another talent.
And Corinne Bailey Rae.....
Sade is one of the smoothest and classiest ladies around. Her voice is so haunting.
YES LISA STANSFIELD!!!!
This and this!
Don't forget to give her partner, Dave Stewart, his proper respect. He produced their records, and was largely responsible for their sound. Her voice is epic!
Check out Who's that Girl, Here's Comes the Rain Again, and Missionary Man. She also sang the bittersweet In To the West from the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King soundtrack.
Indefinitely endorse the recommendations for H.C.R.A. and M.M.
Also Would I Lie To You? and When Tomorrow Comes.
I remember watching a music awards night where Laurin Hill and Whitney Houston were pegged as two divas competing for the title of ultimate diva, they sang their hearts out and were great.
Special guest performance from Annie Lennox, effortlessly destroyed the both of them in about 5 seconds flat.
I remember watching that and laughed my head off because Annie Lennox didn't need any introduction.
@@jodiepalmer2404 what was the awards called ..wanna see that 🙂
@@helenatyeo6840 I don't remember the name because here in Australia, at the time we had a cable box called Austar (now Foxtel) which had an MTV show presenters showing performances from an award show. But I only got to see Lauren Hill and Whitney Houston performing and later I watch Annie Lennox perform. The presenters said that along comes Annie Lennox as a guest performance and she blew away some if not all the other performers.
@@jodiepalmer2404 thanks for replying ...i tried to look it up with no luck either ..but thanks anyway .🙂
Here is the live video you all are talking about, Annie Lennox performing her song Why from her Diva album! So good! ruclips.net/video/2vrIpHNxY_M/видео.html
Love Is a Stranger. By far my favorite track in their catalog. The video, vocals, and music are amazing.
Annie Lennox is one of the most unique pop divas of all time. Eurythmics had so many great songs it's hard to narrow them down! Check out "Love is a Stranger", "Would I Lie to You?" and "Here Comes the Rain Again". Annie also had some spectacular solo songs, such as "Why" and (my personal fave), "Little Bird". And also: MAZEL TOV!! ;)
While I'm on it, I'll just drop Garbage as a possible Female Friday band. "Stupid Girl" is their best. Shirley Manson is a rock goddess.
If you want to hear The Eurythmics really rock out, try "Would I Lie to You?" one of their biggest hits.
Or "Missionary Man" that kicks some serious butt as well.
@@thorsluter7835 Both are great suggestions !
I can't sit still when that is on.
Yes!!!!
One of my favorite Eurythmics song and video.
The Eurythmics were such an iconic 80's group. Annie Lennox has such a great voice & is so recognizable.
Annie has one of the best voices ever.
Her voice is pure and iconic and with a flawless range. Some brave souls have tried to cover her songs and in my opinion just can't compare. The only ones that 'succeed' are when they come out with a completely new arrangement and don't even attempt to replicate her sound. My opinion.
Annie Lennox is timeless, she's still producing quality recordings today, in her early 60s. Androgeny was a thing back in the 80s and she cracked it. She's a stunning looking woman still. Also, she's been very vocal, in a positive way, around HIV/AIDS. She is quite simply sublime. Best of luck with the birth of your baby. Check out her 'Here Comes the Rain Again'.
See her FB page. And her daughter has started a singing career.
Her voice was the Adele voice of the 80s. It gripped you.
She won an Oscar in 2004, for 'Into the West' , from The Lord of the Rings.
That woman's voice is a treasure for any of us to be graced to hear. Annie Lennox is the diva of all divas in secular music
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.
Just about pissed myself Diddy. Top stuff.
Their last album was kind of sour.
Thanks for the laugh...and I'm from the dairy state.
Lol!! Hilarious!!!😂😂😂
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
This was groundbreaking when it came out...not just the music but also how Annie presented herself...in the early 80's women's hair was still in the Farrah Fawcett feathering...
not really... especially in the New Wave genre, hair was anything but conventional.
Yep, I remember seeing this video on MTV and being blown away by both the music and Annie's look.
If you want to go for a different woman's look in post-punk leaning toward goth in the early 1980s, there would be Siouxsie and the Banshees. While John McGeoch was my favourite guitarist with the Banshees, after he left his spot was taken by Robert Smith (of The Cure) for a while. "Spellbound" would be a good song to try.
@@parissimons6385 or the rest of the distaff "Bromley Contingent" which included William Broad's girlfriend/baby mum and the rest...
My name is Kathi. I'm Nathan's grandmother. I'm 70. You two are incredible! I've never subscribed to anything before I found you. You will have beautiful, smart and talented babies. I've been binge watching you for two days. I love Female Friday. Long may you wave.
Annie Lennox's Walking on Broken Glass is worth a watch and reaction. Cheers from the Jersey Shore
LOVE how much Jordan liked this song!! Next Annie Lennox song: “WHY” 💎
Oh yes!
YES!!!!
Annie Lennox is amazing.
I’m blessed to have been born in 1974. I was 9 years old when this song came out. It was MTV’s first year on TV. So music videos were new, and hooked us.
It’s hard to imagine her look. Because it would even fit today. This was 1983!!
I love watching these videos because I’m glad people are discovering music even now
This was one of the first music videos I saw as a kid.
I was 10 and had a mystical type crush on this weird singing woman
I was born in 77... Some of the best music was in the 80's
Me too, born in 74, we had the best music growing up at that time 😀
@@carolinedoyle7236 yeah and how we took it for granted. If only we had known we were living through the greatest era for popular music to date, and maybe even all time.
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
Sweet Dreams are made of cheese. Who am I to dis a bree😁
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“
I have the 45 single of Jessie by Carly. I really enjoyed it back in the day
you cannot over play Carly Simon. Also Carole King, especially when she writes for Aretha. my lord!
I recently had to re-hear this song. I saw the title somewhere and said, "Jesse? I miss this?" Come to find out I've listened to this since it came out but must of never heard it say Jesse. What the hell was I hearing? Great Song. Everyone knows a Jesse.
Another Carly song, Let The River Run. That one is heartbreaking because of the Towers in the background.
Both of them are great
Having lived with these songs for nearly 40 years it's easy to forget the impact they had when they first came out. Watching your reactions helps me remember how new and groundbreaking they were.
I would recommend "There Must Be an Angel" too. haunting melody and her voice is literally angelic
I second this, her vocal chops are crazy in that song.
Defo, I came here to say the same thing. Annie has a totally different look in that video.
Now we're talking. Can't decide if it's my favorite compared to 'Stay By Me'?
The HArmonica is play it by Steve Wonder
Or Walking on Broken Glass for sheer amusement value in the video!
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.
Annie's non-lyric vocalizing in the background is hauntingly moving. You have no lyrics to get in the way of someone expressing themselves but you get the emotion that it brings to the song.
This is why those of us who were there when MTV launched would sit watching videos for hours even if the music wasn’t our favorite.
Absolutely
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!
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.
Why? by Annie Lennox is terrific and moving. Also why not try 10,000 Maniacs What's the Matter Here or Like the Weather featuring the sublime Natalie Merchant?
COMPLETELY AGREE... "WHY" is ICONIC... sorry to write in caps LOL
"Why" is a phenomenal song.
Yes! I love Natalie!😁
Thumbs up for Natalie, either from her solo career or with 10,000 Maniacs.
I was thinking of suggesting Natalie for Female Friday but not sure which song to choose!
Other great songs from them: Here comes the rain again, Would I li to you, Who’s that girl…so many,!
I loved her when Annie was in The Tourists pre Eurythmics, then this video came out & completely blew my mind. I've adored her in all her musical incarnations ever since ♥️
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.
Oh yes, Yaz was pne of !y favorite bands in high school!
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.
OMG YES! I always cry at the end of the Trilogy with that amazingly emotional lullaby.
@@LJMiho It's definitely a tearjerker. Love Song For A Vampire is great, too.
She is fantastic in that song!!
Absolutely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, and Annie's voice is nothing short of angelic.
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.
I only realize how great the music was from the 60s and 70s and 80s when I compare it to today. I forget that talent was expected and taken for granted. These artists are LEGEND!
This woman still amazing!
Oh my yes. And occasionally she still treats us with her soul stirring voice.
Annie is a fantastic artist and Dave Stewart is a great producer and artist as well. I was lucky enough to see them perform as the Eurythmics once and I was amazed. Such a great show.
The wonderful and so talented Annie Lennox
You guys DEFINITELY need to do her duet with Aretha Franklin for Female Friday, 'Sisters are Doin' It For Themselves.' Absolutely SLAPS.
YES !!!!
ABSOLUTELY
Yes!’
Yes, I just requested Would I lie to you for Female Friday but this is a great one too
Oh oh and Beethoven is another one to consider, one of the most kick arse tracks in my humble opinion
AWESOME! NEXT UP:
WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS
WHY
WOULD I LIE TO YOU!
I so loved that. I'm 70 years old, and I started dancing along JUST LIKE YOU young pups! It was like my camera was on and you were seeing me! SO FUN!
"Sweet dreams are made of cheese.
Who am I to dis a bree..."
Seriously, though - this was their first big hit. I remember seeing this video my senior year in high school, and it was SO incredible; so different from most of what was out there.
Lol😊😊😊
You should be mindful of those with lactose intolerance when posting cheese-based puns.
@@gerardodoherty9178 👅😉😹😹
@@henry1395 go Caerphilly with them and you'll be fine. Don't make any Swiss cheese joes to lactophobes either. It drives 'em mental.
@@gerardodoherty9178 It does😹😎
Some songs are just so damn good that they immediately transcend their genre/time period with ease, and will thrive for decades to come. This is one of those songs, by far...
Annie Lennox’s first solo record, Diva, is the bomb! Another great Eurythmics tune is Here Comes the
Rain Again.
For more Eurythmics, I suggest "Would I Lie To You?" (my fave) and "Here Comes the Rain Again."
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.”
Yes, she has so many good songs to choose from. One of the best!
Blue bayou and tracks of my tears
Linda was good, but I believe Pat Benatar got her beat.
she hit us like a mack truck- the voice and the style- like NOTHING else of its time.
I would recommend "There Must Be an Angel" too. Haunting melody and her voice is literally angelic (into the Song a big surprise !)
I've always loved both "Would I lie to you?" and "Walking on broken glass".
Her voice is timeless
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.
None taken.
50 Exotic Word Points to Gryffindor for 'Chimerical'. Well done, Tom :-D
Yes, absolutely love Natalie Merchant!!! Would also suggest "Carnival" in addition to "Wonder". Great suggestion!
Definitely one of the best voices out there!!!
‘No more I loved you’s’ is just beautiful!
Watching this video ..takes me back to that time and place..and it triggers other memories in that moment..
I suggest "Would I Lie to You" and "Here Comes the Rain Again" from the Eurythmics era. Here is a live performance of "Would I Lie to You" from 87. ruclips.net/video/omJeStRoo_E/видео.html
Yes! My favorite is Here Comes the Rain Again!
YES YES YES! These are all great songs for you to react to. I love: Would I Lie to You, Here Comes the Rain, and Broken Glass
No
They'd like the rock of "Would I Lie To You".
Annie totally struts her stuff in "Would I Lie." Love it!
Annie Lennox has unbelievable pipes and is one of the most beautiful women in the world along with Grace Jones
I like the industrial/classic vibe w the bass bass bass drum.
Another great song by Eurythmics is "Would I Lie to You?"
"Don't Go" by Yaz featuring the amazing Alison Moyet is another Synth-Pop classic. Or if you really want to go for something unique try "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void (Featuring Debora Iyall on vocals. But beware, in the good version, there is an F-bomb).
Also, you'll have to check out The Motels featuring Martha Davis, Take The "L" and Quarterflash, "Harden My Heart" or "Find another Fool".
I second Quarterflash! That song is so cool to try to sing along to!
Plus, you can't turn down a female lead who plays the sax...
*Yazoo
Would I lie to you is Jammin!!! Love that song. Listen to her cover of Whiter Shade of Pale.
I’ve been pushing for Yazoo forever. They were pioneers in so many ways. Such an incredible band story. I was lucky enough to see their Reconnected tour back in 2008 in NYC. I prefer Situation, though. That song has been sampled by so many artists. Alison’s laugh is even in “Macarena”.
The Only Way Is Up.
A fantastic female 80's band is Roxette. I can recommend two of their songs as starters: "Listen To Your Heart" and "The Look."
D.H.T. did a fantastic cover of "Listen To Your Heart" about 15 years ago. The lead singer for that cover was also a female: Edmée.
I actually met them just before they broke out. They were on their way to a gig in San Bernardino, stuck with a leaking water hose at the Union 76 at the junction of I-15 Hgwy 18. The station was out of their hose, but I was able to cut it and stretch it out enough to reconnect it. They seemed real nice, but it was hard to communicate as they didn't speak English very well. My ex wasn't really happy with it all though as Marie was looking quite good in those tight leather pants...
Love Annie Lennox. The song for me was Epic first time i heard it
80's music kicks everything else out of the park !!!
OK guys, you want a weird one? PJ Harvey: "Down by the Water."
It's creepy, haunting, tells a story, and her voice is so different. Just something for your ears to soak in.
good call
You can't possibly be serious with this comment. CocoRosie - Lemonade just begins to scratch the surface of wierd and unusual. I'd only bring up CocoRosie to gage if I need to back off or hit the gas. What you got next for unusual? Kate Bush???
Damn good suggestion :)
'No Girl So Sweet' as well - calm, distorted and then that yell. Anything from PJ is awesome - loved Is This Desire - entire album was surreal . . .
The live version is excellent too.
I was incredibly lucky to see the Eurythmics live in a New York nightclub called The Ritz shortly after this album came out. She performed on a raised catwalk that went the length of the room. The word phenomenal is not enough to describe how great it was. I have been an Annie Lennox fan ever since. What a voice!
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".
Ironic that you mentioned a Marilyn Manson look since he did a fairly decent cover of the song...in his style of course. For more of this lady you should check out Missionary Man (I think that's the title)
His cover is very good.
"Would I Lie To You" will blow your minds. Guaranteed banger with surprises you will love.
The Eurythmics were an amazing edition to the sounds of the 80's. I highly recommend listening to her solo work as well. No More I Love You's, Walking on Broken Glass, Love Song for a Vampire, and my favorite will always be COLD - brings chills and goosebumps just typing the title. - OH, I almost forgot her duet with The Queen of Soul - Sisters Are Doing it for Themselves with Aretha Franklin.
I'm hooked to you guys!! I'm older and watching yawl enjoy what I enjoyed and danced to in the past makes me smile. Make memories. The Eurythmics, rock! Annie Lennox ~ Why.
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.
I was at a concert in London in the earlyish '80s, I forget who I'd gone to see, just before the main act Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart appeared on stage, played Sweet Dreams and left. That was it but a truly iconic three or four minutes, it was the launch of the Sweet Dreams album, which made them into global superstars. And the rest, as they say, is history.
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! ❤️❤️
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 RUclips 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.
She has an incredible voice. And a multifaced artist in all that she does. With each look she becomes someone new. Very much like David Bowie.
She did a live "Under Pressure" with Bowie after Freddy Mercury had passed.
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!!!
Annie Lennox is a legend. Incredible woman and amazing voice.
This song is even more amazing when you realize they recorded it in their tiny home studio. Struggling musicians who made it happen. And her voice! Like an angel. Amazing.
This is one of my top five favorite songs, and Annie Lennox is so amazing. I saw her in concert once, probably one of the best performances I have ever seen. She was generous, artistic, responsive to the crowd, and so genuine-singing from her heart the whole night. The fact that she sang every track on that album-no backup singers, just her beautiful voice-is another feat of vocal range and richness that is rare in performers.
I have a feeling it's a top song for most people around in the 80s :)
She has just a SPLENDID voice! Thanks for your reaction.
This song had to fight off one of the biggest songs of the 80's ("Every Breath You Take" by The Police), before it could hit #1. It hung in there & managed to finally get that coveted spot for a week. How about that cool bridge, which breaks up the monotony? I still remember the first time I heard this song. My older sister was 17 & driving my younger sister & me to the store. We were trying to figure out the title. It still seems like just yesterday. This was back in 1983!!!
