You two have to do "WOULD I LIE TO YOU" official video. The riff, the horns, the background vocals and especially Annie Lennox voice in this is the very pinnacle of her POWER !!!!
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were a match made in Heaven. She needed his musicality and ridiculous production skills to really showcase her voice and he needed that incredible voice to translate his songs. Absolutely classic music that will last well beyond our time. ✌️
+ their romantic relationship pre-eurhytmics also led them to emotionally be connected I think until ... maybe not this day... but for a good chunk of their collaborations... it's actually pretty rare a split up couple still manages to do stuff together, especially in such an emotionally-demanding area as the music making one... i wonder if there are other examples of 'teams' like this that have existed???
For me, this is their best song & her voice is majestic & stunning. Dave Stewart's production & musical skills are equally as stunning. Listen to the mix of instruments, and the way the opening synth riff jumps several octaves near the end, as Annie get's more intense, vocally.
'Why' is absolutely worth a listen - as is Dave Stewart's (and Candy Dulfer's) Lily Was Here - it's great when all artists from a band can keep producing great music even after splitting up!
Been an Annie Lennox fan since the get go. You've done this, "Missionary Man", and "Sweet Dreams", so that means you've gotten three of Annie's many facets. That's what she brings to the table, and why she's a true diva. "Love is a Stranger" is fantastic, as is "Who's That Girl?" They also duetted in 1985 with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, herself, with "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves." And if you want to check out Annie's solo stuff, "Little Bird" is phenominal, as is "Why".
If you want a deeper dive, check out their 'Live 1983-1989' compilation album. It's basically a live greatest hits CD (22 songs!), you can find it on the official Eurythmics youtube channel. They were an amazing live band.
J & Amber, You'll love their "Would I Like To You"(banger!), and “Walking on Broken Glass”(from Annie's solo career)!!! edit- you also did their "Missionary Man".
'There must be an angel' is THE BOMB for Annie's amazing vocal range. It also has a guest harmonica player 😉 Also her duet with Aretha Franklin is 👏👏👏👏
You must watch her performance singing Freddie Mercury’s part on “Under Pressure” with Queen and David Bowie, at his tribute concert! That was a huge feat to pull off- to sing Freddys part and truly do it justice-but she did it beautifully. ❤️
Eurythmics fall under that category of "nothing had ever sounded like this before". When this was new on the radio we all stopped & took notice of the new & unique sound.
I was a 16 yr old when this song came out in the early 80's and everyone was trippin about her hair cut and how short it was. Some of my peers hated it and others loved it feeling it was so rebellious at the time. Its funny because today a pixie cut like hers is so common but back then her androgynous hair and style of dress really shocked lots of us. The gender lines were rarely crossed like what she was doing in her early years. Their first song "Sweet Dreams" really show cased androgyny and it threw us for a loop. lmbo...man we had know idea how things would change..it all looks so tame now that most of you kids dont even notice it ...which honestly is a good thing. The music style they had was considered a soft industrial sound. They didnt use many insturments it was all digital which was another new thing that swept music in the early 80's synth pop or rock.
Came to say much the same thing, male androgyny had been going on for a decade with Bowie, Marc Bolan, Freddie mercury and others. Female androgyny was more like just being a tough female, like a girl in a leather jacket. Annie Lennox exploded all that, with a non-masculine ambiguity, and she needs to be recognized for that pioneering approach that paved the way for others.
I was in Germany when I first saw Eurythmics on the German version of what America would soon be enjoying, called MTV, though not called that in Germany, I was 22 at the time, and remember thinking, wow, This is what's happening in America, I was a fan of Eurythmics from the very start, after getting out of the Army in 83, I came home and got into my career as a radio DJ, and lo and behold, Eurythmics charted and was always in some sort of rotation at our station, I told people about them when I got home, but it was one of those "You have to see it, to appreciate it" situations, and this was long before computers and internet...anyway...that's the way it was...LOL...Rock ON!
You guys should react to more Eurythmics… "Love Is a Stranger", "Wrap It Up", "The Walk", "This Is the House", "Right by Your Side", "Who's That Girl?", "Would I Lie to You?", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", "Thorn in My Side", "When Tomorrow Comes", "The Miracle of Love", "Don't Ask Me Why", "Angel", "Revival" 💃🏻🕺🏼
Yep "Would I lie to you" is a powerhouse......you will see that Annie had or has a fantastic voice. "Sisters are doing it for themselves" with Aretha Franklin is also well worth reacting to....two brilliant female voices for the price of one
I agreed with the other comments about Would I Lie To You, but in my opinion the Eurythmics songs pale in comparison to Annie Lennox's solo songs. "Why", "Cold", "Would I Lie To You", "Little Bird"...not to mention her cover of Whiter Shade of Pale! She is amazing!
Annie's voice is indeed otherworldly and her visually stunning presentation of the music always transports you to that world the lyrics describe but down a path you may not have found without her guiding you.
"I Need A Man", There Must Be An Angel" "Would I Lie To You?" So many great tracks. Their second and third albums were very new wave electronica, like this track, and very successful. With the critical and commercial failure of their soundtrack for "1984" (which I loved), they made a clear shift towards a more mainstream pop sound in the mid 80s, starting with "Would I Lie To You?". It's a shame their first album, "In The Garden", never gets any attention, it's not as good as "Sweet Dreams" by any means, but there's some cool weird stuff on their that's worth a listen. The first few years of the 80s blossomed with lots of new, experimental stuff.
Wife here..Awwww Loved Loved Loved Eurythmics in the eighties..Annie Lennox does have quiet the aura about her..Wow..How this truly takes me back..We sang this in High School Chorus and our teacher was OBSESSED with our pronunciation of the word " wind"..We practiced it over and over and over and over..😂
Was scrolling through the comments and not a single person has said you should listen to WHEN TOMORROW COMES.. A totally underrated song from a great group.
"Into the West" from LOTR soundtrack. Just beautiful. In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West"
Annie Lennox is awesome, as someone else mentioned before, “Love song for a Vampire” from the Dracula soundtrack, amazing. Also, for female singer who rock the deeper tones, maybe try the German “Grand Dame of Punk” Nina Hagen, “Seemann - Apocalyptica - feat. Nina Hagen” is a Rammstein Cover and so good.
So many great songs. Annie Lennox and David Stewart were inducted into The Song Writer's Hall of Fame in 2020 and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2022. Glad you enjoyed this classic.😊 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
She's so terrific. A must-see pick for Female Friday or any day you want to hear top notch music listen to "Would I Lie To You?" It has a super fun video. I love it!
It’s crazy how music can evoke such a visceral reaction…. This song throws me right back to my teenage years and I feel all the emotions. Hope, angst, happiness, fear.. all of it… Love The Eurythmics so much.
This is one of the most emotional songs of my lifetime. It comes on the radio at the strangest times and in the strangest places. Another masterpiece video of early MTV.
OMG! Thank you for playing this! My favorite song by The Eurythmics, it's everything great about early 80's synth pop: haunting, hypnotic, it gets stuck in your head for days! Another banger! Great job!
I feel like a lot of modern singers try to sing like this, but when they do it, it's all breathy and weak, sits there like a balloon that's lost all its air. She's breathy, but also full of force and energy, it's effortless for her (or she makes us think it is), but it's like there's a tornado inside of her, speaking of "here comes the rain again".
It would be great if you discovered "Stay", by Shakespear's Sister. Marcella Detroit is the lead singer of that song. The other woman is Siobhan Fahey, formerly of Bananrama, who was once married to Dave Stewart...the other half of The Eurythmics. Marcella's voice will blow your mind. Also, how about some En Vogue?
The constant reverberating plucking bass is a great compliment to her voice and the other orchestral instruments. The darkndreary rainy scottish back drop adds to her and the songs whole ethereal nature.
It's because 80's was an era of creativity and versality in music. That's the reason why the music was so accepted. Almost every day something different was on the radio. I lived those days when i was a young guy and i was so happy to be envolved by all those special music. I couldn't go further in music. I still listen to 80's music.
There were many great voices in the New Wave genre. Alison Moyet Andy Bell Mick Hucknall Martha Davis Jimmy Summerville Johnette Napalitano Phil Oakey ...just to name a few. For a different side of Dave Stewart, you should check out his duet with Candy Dulfer on Lily Was Here.
1983; this song was huge, and this band was all over MTV. Classic 80s synth pop. Next step was the heavier R&B thump of "Would I Lie To You?" and "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", the duet Annie Lennox did with Aretha Franklin (probably the ULTIMATE song for Female Friday).
This really shows off Annie’s voice and the smoky depth of her voice especially….. there’s so many songs that are suggested already so just do them …… stunning band !
Annie has always been just a top notch consummate artist and talent with an incredibly stunning voice. And with tremendous respect for what she and David Stewart accomplished together, her post-Eurythmics solo releases were incredible too. "No more I love You's" and "Why" are awesome, just to name two and really showcase her phenomenal vocal range.
When I heard the first song by the Eurythmics, SWEET DREAMS, I really thought it was going to be a One hit wonder. But each album was more interesting, going from electronic to rock, always different and fresh. And when Annie Lenox presented her first solo album, which is a wonderful piece, and with a perfect name: DIVA, she went from being a star, to a complete artist. Songs like: SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES, with Aretha Franklin, WOULD I LIE TO YOU?, THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL, with harmonica played by Stevie Wonder, or her solo songs, like: WHY, No More 'I Love You's, or his live version of UNDER PRESSURE with David Bowie, I know you'd love them.
The Eurythmics music takes me back to my youth and the birth of Mtv. I love how both the guitar and the keyboards or synthesizers sound in their songs like Here comes the Rain again and Sweet Dreams as well.I agree with you guys as well Annie Lennox's voice is compelling to the listener. She draws you in. I feel like as well that The Eurythmics music is ahead of their time.
I've always loved the song "Thorn In My Side" by the Eurythmics. The song has all of the classic Annie Lennox vocals and Dave Stewart musicianship that defined the 1980's. I would also recommend checking out the Jane Wiedlin song "Rush Hour" for another amazing 80's experience.
Was fortunate enough to see Annie Lennox live some years ago. Her voice live is indistinguishable from what comes out of a recording studio. Outstanding talent.
Another early classic from Annie and Dave Stewart. (Gotta give Dave his props, she's not singing a capella, after all.) Shall we do "Would I Lie to You" next? That one was so good that even my mother (who loathed all popular music) enjoyed it. I'm serious. Would I lie to you?
SUCH a HAUNTING VOICE .... I LOVE EURYTHMICS... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO BROKEN GLASS, DEMOLITION MAN , OMG ... SHE HAS SO MANY AMAZING SONGS BEHIND HER BELT ...
Rain is a well-known metaphor for a broken heart. Everything from "Rain" by The Beatles to "Rain" by Patty Griffin (different songs) to "Raining in My Heart" by Buddy Holly. All worthy choices. Enjoy…and bring a tissue. (Or an umbrella.)
LOVE the closing song to "Lord of the Rings Return of the King" "Into the West" by Annie. She was also a co-writer on the song. It really shows her vocal range.
Annie Lennox is a class act. An icon of the 80s. She even won an Oscar for singing. We have to give credit to Dave Stewart who does the music. It is pop mixed with synths but very their own. It has soul.
I remember watching this on TV when I was about 6 or 7. And I remember how eerie the video looks and it gave the chills almost to the point of being scared. Strange, I know. But as an adult, I love this song.
One of their best! Please react to "Love Is A Stranger" and "Missionary Man." For Female Friday, please don't forget to do some Annie Lennox such as "No More I Love You's" and her duet with Aretha Franklin "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves." Thanks!
You can never go wrong with Annie Lennox. The Eurythmics and her solo stuff, all great! She also did a duet with Al Green. A cover of the Jackie De Shannon song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart'.
If you want to hear an amazing vocalist - do the world wide 90's hit STAY by SHAKESPEARES SISTER. One half of the duo was from DETROIT while the other half was from BANARAMA. Goth meets glam meets deviant pop!
Y’all should check out their iconic trax, “I Need a Man” and “I Like to Listen to (Beethoven).” Besides the brilliance of the songs, really that entire album, Annie plays a character, an oppressed unhappy housewife who lets go and becomes a completely different woman, a sexual expressive vixen.
Annie’s voice was very clear yet breathy with very little vibrato. It cuts through music without straining. Her theatrical performances match her vocal story telling.
You two have to do "WOULD I LIE TO YOU" official video. The riff, the horns, the background vocals and especially Annie Lennox voice in this is the very pinnacle of her POWER !!!!
Is it raining with you?….The song is mesmerizing….. love it!
I love "Would I Lie to You"!!!!!!!
Has her powerful presence and vocals and the HORNS. you'd love it
Also the live performance of WHY from 2000 is INCREDIBLE
I sat up and took notice when I first heard that song, Wow! Amazing.
YES with a much omph as possible! They'll love that song.
"Would I Lie to You" is arguably their best song--an absolute banger.
LISTEN TO BRAD!!! lol....
Missionary Man... No More I Love You's, Beethoven, 1984 (Sexcrime)
@@GradyBroyles 1984 (Sex Crime) would be my favourite from them, followed by Who's That Girl. Love Is A Stranger is a good one too.
I'm with Brad. "Would I Lie to You" is soooooo good!
YES SIR!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were a match made in Heaven. She needed his musicality and ridiculous production skills to really showcase her voice and he needed that incredible voice to translate his songs. Absolutely classic music that will last well beyond our time. ✌️
Yes, David Stewart was essential to Eurythmics' sound as well!
+ their romantic relationship pre-eurhytmics also led them to emotionally be connected I think until ... maybe not this day... but for a good chunk of their collaborations... it's actually pretty rare a split up couple still manages to do stuff together, especially in such an emotionally-demanding area as the music making one... i wonder if there are other examples of 'teams' like this that have existed???
@Nicky L understood, but I still stand by my statement. Education doesn’t create talent and Dave was a freaking genius in the studio. ✌️
@@thibautzadina7013 I would suggest Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance. Australia's finest...
"Love Is A Stranger" is another great song by The Eurythmics.
She had such an iconic voice!! Her partner Dave Stewart was a great musician and composer also. Sometimes people forget the teamwork involved👍🎶
100%
Yeah..... an give him all the credit..... I think she may hv won Oscar.
Hold on...they're still alive....and touring...😊
For me, this is their best song & her voice is majestic & stunning.
Dave Stewart's production & musical skills are equally as stunning.
Listen to the mix of instruments, and the way the opening synth riff
jumps several octaves near the end, as Annie get's more intense, vocally.
Definately ONE of the best
A great one for Female Friday would be Annie Lennox’s duet with Aretha Franklin-“Sisters Are Doing For Themselves. Two legendary voices together!
I second this!
PLEASE¡¡¡ GREAT SONG
So many great tunes by the Eurythmics. Would I Lie to You, Missionary Man, Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves. They are a vibe.
They did Missionary Man back in December.
"When Tomorrow Comes" is also stellar.
@@matthewteague623 one of my favorites too
Sex crimes 1984 is another good song
I love the song "Why" by Annie Lennox and she also sang the song "Into the West" for the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie "Return of the King".
"Why" just hit different! great call!
She also won the Oscar for that song
I mean, she's basically an elf. Perfect voice, the cheekbones... 😉😄
"Love is A Stranger" is another awesome song of theirs with an awesome beat. I think you both would really like it!
My favorite
Mine too and the live version is exceptional ruclips.net/video/J5xk1-KEgds/видео.html
"Would I Lie to You" is amazing. A must listen.
Check out her solo stuff too, “Why” and “No more I love you’s” are fantastic
Yes! Those two are a must-listen.
Walking on Broken Glass
The original No More I love yous by The Lover Speaks is even better than Annie’s version
'Why' is absolutely worth a listen - as is Dave Stewart's (and Candy Dulfer's) Lily Was Here - it's great when all artists from a band can keep producing great music even after splitting up!
Oh I love No More I Love Yous!
Been an Annie Lennox fan since the get go. You've done this, "Missionary Man", and "Sweet Dreams", so that means you've gotten three of Annie's many facets. That's what she brings to the table, and why she's a true diva. "Love is a Stranger" is fantastic, as is "Who's That Girl?"

@@Pulsar77 Sadly, never got to see them live. Did you?
@@Shrykespeare No, unfortunately not.
Bummer. Anyone out there seen them live?
“Why” from 1992 Diva album is absolutely well written and sang by Annie. Worth watching actual video
Dave Stewart has to get credit for creating and arranging all of the music, playing many of the instruments.
You should check out her solo stuff for female Friday, "Walking on Broken Glass", "No More I Love Yous", "Why", "Little Bird"
J & Amber, You'll love their "Would I Like To You"(banger!), and “Walking on Broken Glass”(from Annie's solo career)!!! edit- you also did their "Missionary Man".
"Would I Lie To You" Frankly their best song for me ... such a ripper!!!
"No More I Love You's" is also great.
'There must be an angel' is THE BOMB for Annie's amazing vocal range. It also has a guest harmonica player 😉
Also her duet with Aretha Franklin is 👏👏👏👏
She does a duet with Sting, don't remember the song.
Have loved this song ever since I first heard it as a kid in early 1984 - one of the absolute best Pop songs of the '80s.
Me too, and I agree with that!
You must watch her performance singing Freddie Mercury’s part on “Under Pressure” with Queen and David Bowie, at his tribute concert! That was a huge feat to pull off- to sing Freddys part and truly do it justice-but she did it beautifully. ❤️
Eurythmics fall under that category of "nothing had ever sounded like this before". When this was new on the radio we all stopped & took notice of the new & unique sound.
Agreed! I'm a prog rock guy and I've always liked them.
Tears for Fears/ Wang Chung..
Agree. I was just thinking how their SOUND was a totally new vibe back then.
Yes, very true. Sometimes Amber and Jay aren't sure if a group was 60s or 70s etc. but the Eurythmics could only have been 80s - they define 80s cool.
I was a 16 yr old when this song came out in the early 80's and everyone was trippin about her hair cut and how short it was.

women had that cut in the 60s
You guys should react to more Eurythmics…
"Love Is a Stranger", "Wrap It Up", "The Walk", "This Is the House", "Right by Your Side", "Who's That Girl?", "Would I Lie to You?", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", "Thorn in My Side", "When Tomorrow Comes", "The Miracle of Love", "Don't Ask Me Why", "Angel", "Revival"
💃🏻🕺🏼
The opening lines "Whos' that Girl" have got to be some of most memorable written.
Yep "Would I lie to you" is a powerhouse......you will see that Annie had or has a fantastic voice.
"Sisters are doing it for themselves" with Aretha Franklin is also well worth reacting to....two brilliant female voices for the price of one
I agreed with the other comments about Would I Lie To You, but in my opinion the Eurythmics songs pale in comparison to Annie Lennox's solo songs. "Why", "Cold", "Would I Lie To You", "Little Bird"...not to mention her cover of Whiter Shade of Pale! She is amazing!
Annie's voice is indeed otherworldly and her visually stunning presentation of the music always transports you to that world the lyrics describe but down a path you may not have found without her guiding you.
Her song (solo) Love Song For A Vampire is stunning, otherworldly.
That song makes me stop in my tracks. Can’t imagine anyone else performing it
"I Need A Man",
There Must Be An Angel"
"Would I Lie To You?"
So many great tracks. Their second and third albums were very new wave electronica, like this track, and very successful. With the critical and commercial failure of their soundtrack for "1984" (which I loved), they made a clear shift towards a more mainstream pop sound in the mid 80s, starting with "Would I Lie To You?".

I *LOVED* "1984" and "In the Garden" ("In the stillness of the moon....")! Great albums!
'There Must Be An Angel' (Playing With My Heart)
One of their best..
She lived around the corner from where I was brought up and went to School, a very talented lady.
Wife here..Awwww Loved Loved Loved Eurythmics in the eighties..Annie Lennox does have quiet the aura about her..Wow..How this truly takes me back..We sang this in High School Chorus and our teacher was OBSESSED with our pronunciation of the word " wind"..We practiced it over and over and over and over..😂
WOULD I LIE TO YOU!!! A great song that really demonstrates Annie Lennox's range. She is a real vocal powerhouse.
Annie's vocals on "Love Song for a Vampire" are powerful and haunting - the lyrics are pure poetry and the music has a build up that is euphoric!
Great song!!
Loved that song. I did clap back at the idiot who reviewed that song on his channel for his disrespectful tone. Annie just has that gift.
Was scrolling through the comments and not a single person has said you should listen to
WHEN TOMORROW COMES..
A totally underrated song from a great group.
"Into the West" from LOTR soundtrack. Just beautiful. In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West"
Love Annie! Walking on Broken Glass from her is so good
Among all their great music, this song is my all-time favorite Eurythmics tune. Annie is a goddess and Dave a genius.
Annie Lennox is awesome, as someone else mentioned before, “Love song for a Vampire” from the Dracula soundtrack, amazing.
Also, for female singer who rock the deeper tones, maybe try the German “Grand Dame of Punk” Nina Hagen, “Seemann - Apocalyptica - feat. Nina Hagen” is a Rammstein Cover and so good.
So many great songs. Annie Lennox and David Stewart were inducted into The Song Writer's Hall of Fame in 2020 and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2022.
Glad you enjoyed this classic.😊

Annie's voice is so unique and powerful. Definitely check out her solo work.
One of the strongest, most empowering songs you'll ever hear: The Eurythmics, "Thorn In My Side".

It’s crazy how music can evoke such a visceral reaction…. This song throws me right back to my teenage years and I feel all the emotions. Hope, angst, happiness, fear.. all of it… Love The Eurythmics so much.
Dave Stewart was on the cutting edge of keyboard and recording technology, which he used to become one of the best producers ever.
This is one of the most emotional songs of my lifetime. It comes on the radio at the strangest times and in the strangest places. Another masterpiece video of early MTV.

Also, how about some En Vogue?
You can't stop there! "Missionary Man" and "Would I Lie to You?" are just as good as this one (with different tones, naturally)
MISSIONARY MAN has already been done. but WOULD I LIE TO YOU would be one to look forward to 👍😃❣️😃👍
My favorite Eurythmics song
The constant reverberating plucking bass is a great compliment to her voice and the other orchestral instruments. The darkndreary rainy scottish back drop adds to her and the songs whole ethereal nature.
This song and sweet dreams were very big in the 80s , love her , voice is as beautiful as her ❣️
This is a great song! Annie Lennox has a beautiful live voice!!
Great suggestions here AND I want to enthusiastically recommend Love Is a Stranger - only saw one or two others mention it so far. Quirky and wonder!
It's because 80's was an era of creativity and versality in music. That's the reason why the music was so accepted. Almost every day something different was on the radio.

There were many great voices in the New Wave genre.
Alison Moyet
Andy Bell

her voice just caresses you on this song.

"No more I love You's" and "Why" are awesome, just to name two and really showcase her phenomenal vocal range.
She has the most unique voice I have ever heard. Her lower registers are intoxicating.
Dark 80's, such a deep vibeage.
No More "I Love You's", Walking on Broken Glass - Can't go wrong with those two.

Songs like: SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES, with Aretha Franklin, WOULD I LIE TO YOU?, THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL, with harmonica played by Stevie Wonder, or her solo songs, like: WHY, No More 'I Love You's, or his live version of UNDER PRESSURE with David Bowie, I know you'd love them.
This is my favorite song by them. I absolutely love it.
The Eurythmics music takes me back to my youth and the birth of Mtv. I love how both the guitar and the keyboards or synthesizers sound in their songs like Here comes the Rain again and Sweet Dreams as well.I agree with you guys as well Annie Lennox's voice is compelling to the listener. She draws you in. I feel like as well that The Eurythmics music is ahead of their time.
I've always loved the song "Thorn In My Side" by the Eurythmics. The song has all of the classic Annie Lennox vocals and Dave Stewart musicianship that defined the 1980's. I would also recommend checking out the Jane Wiedlin song "Rush Hour" for another amazing 80's experience.
"Sisters are doing it for Themselves" She sings with Aretha Franklin!!!!
I leave this suggestion all the time. 🤞 First 👍
This is my fave by them! It`s definitely on my playlist! Also Would I Lie To You is a banger! Keep On Rockin'
Was fortunate enough to see Annie Lennox live some years ago. Her voice live is indistinguishable from what comes out of a recording studio. Outstanding talent.
If you want to see her really theatrical "Walking on Broken Glass" is really cool.
Another early classic from Annie and Dave Stewart. (Gotta give Dave his props, she's not singing a capella, after all.)
Shall we do "Would I Lie to You" next? That one was so good that even my mother (who loathed all popular music) enjoyed it. I'm serious. Would I lie to you?
I still love this song. Played so much on MTV. 💕. Annie Lennox has such a range of fantastic music.
SUCH a HAUNTING VOICE .... I LOVE EURYTHMICS... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO BROKEN GLASS, DEMOLITION MAN , OMG ... SHE HAS SO MANY AMAZING SONGS BEHIND HER BELT ...
She and Al Green did a cover of Put a Little Love in Your Heart for the Bill Murray movie Scrooged.
One of my favorite Christmas movies!
For Female Friday - The Eurythmics "Sisters are doin it for themselves" has Annie in a duet with the great Aretha Franklin
“Love is a Stranger” is a brilliant song!
Her solo work really highlights the range and power of voice.
Rain is a well-known metaphor for a broken heart. Everything from "Rain" by The Beatles to "Rain" by Patty Griffin (different songs) to "Raining in My Heart" by Buddy Holly. All worthy choices. Enjoy…and bring a tissue. (Or an umbrella.)
Or "Rain" by The Cult, completely different metaphor there.
Or "Show Down (Raining All Over the World)" by ELO.
@@Jessica_Roth Great song!
Who else just randomly starts singing this song when it starts to rain? 🤷🏽♀️
Eurythmics There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart)
You will love "Would I lie to you". Amazing vocals and instruments!
Beauty. Power. Great reaction. Try Annie and David Bowie doing "Under Pressure" live at a Queen tribute concert. Thanks.
LOVE the closing song to "Lord of the Rings Return of the King" "Into the West" by Annie. She was also a co-writer on the song. It really shows her vocal range.
Annie Lennox is a class act. An icon of the 80s. She even won an Oscar for singing. We have to give credit to Dave Stewart who does the music. It is pop mixed with synths but very their own. It has soul.
I remember watching this on TV when I was about 6 or 7. And I remember how eerie the video looks and it gave the chills almost to the point of being scared. Strange, I know. But as an adult, I love this song.
One of their best! Please react to "Love Is A Stranger" and "Missionary Man." For Female Friday, please don't forget to do some Annie Lennox such as "No More I Love You's" and her duet with Aretha Franklin "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves." Thanks!
The Eurythmics had such an unique sound. No one sounded like them.
You have to get around to Annie Lennox "Walking On Broken Glass"
Would I Lie To You ...(She banging and the Horns you would love) ... and her live performance of WHY in 2000. A virtuoso performance
You can never go wrong with Annie Lennox. The Eurythmics and her solo stuff, all great! She also did a duet with Al Green. A cover of the Jackie De Shannon song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart'.
If you want to hear an amazing vocalist - do the world wide 90's hit STAY by SHAKESPEARES SISTER. One half of the duo was from DETROIT while the other half was from BANARAMA. Goth meets glam meets deviant pop!
Siobhan Fahey (ex Bananarama & Shakespeare's Sister) was married to Jeff Lynn who was ex ELECTRIC LIGHT OCHESTRA and one half of THE EURYTHMICS
@@Markogleby She was married to Dave Stewart who is one half of The Eurythmics.
They were marcella detroit and siobhan fahey.
@@kbusby4824 I stand corrected! You are right
Y’all should check out their iconic trax, “I Need a Man” and “I Like to Listen to (Beethoven).” Besides the brilliance of the songs, really that entire album, Annie plays a character, an oppressed unhappy housewife who lets go and becomes a completely different woman, a sexual expressive vixen.
Annie’s voice was very clear yet breathy with very little vibrato. It cuts through music without straining. Her theatrical performances match her vocal story telling.
Eurythmics captured me the first time I heard them on the radio way back when. I’ve always loved this song and the video.
You should definitely react to any and ALL of Annie Lennox's solo work. If you like Eurythmics, you'll love it!
