OVERALL ON PAPER MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 8 1/4 X 11 1/4 INCHES WITH PHOTO CARD ATTACHED MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 5 3/4 X 4 INCHES. The Tourists were a British rock and pop band. They achieved brief success in the late 1970s before the band split in 1980. Two of its members, singer Annie Lennox and guitarist Dave Stewart, went on to international success as Eurythmics. Guitarists Peet Coombes and Dave Stewart were members of the folk rock band Longdancer, [1] which was on Elton John’s Rocket Records label. [2] They moved to London, where they met singer Annie Lennox, who had dropped out of a course at the Royal Academy of Music to pursue her ambitions in pop music. Forming a band in 1976, the three of them initially called themselves The Catch. In 1977 the band released a single named “Borderline/Black Blood” on Logo Records. [1] It was released in the UK, The Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, but was not a commercial success. By 1976, they had recruited bass guitarist Eddie Chin and drummer Jim Toomey, and renamed themselves The Tourists. [1] This saw the beginning of a productive period for the band and they released three albums: The Tourists (1979), Reality Effect (1979) and Luminous Basement (1980), as well as half a dozen singles, including “Blind Among the Flowers” (1979), “The Loneliest Man in the World” (1979), “Don’t Say I Told You So” (1980) and two hits, the Dusty Springfield cover “I Only Want to Be with You” (1979)[3] and “So Good to Be Back Home Again” (1980), both of which reached the top 10 in the UK. “I Only Want to Be with You” was also a top 10 hit in Australia[5] and reached number 83 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [6] Coombes was the band’s main songwriter, although later releases saw the first compositions by Lennox and Stewart. In 1980, the band signed to RCA Records. [1] They toured extensively in the UK and abroad, including as support for Roxy Music on their 1979 Manifesto Tour. [7][8][9] The group disbanded in late 1980. Coombes and Chin began a new project named Acid Drops[10] but this met with little success and Coombes, despite originally being the main artistic force behind the Tourists, drifted out of the music business after the disbanding. Lennox and Stewart soon split as a couple but decided to continue working as an experimental musical partnership, under the name Eurythmics. [11] They retained their RCA recording contract and links with Conny Plank, who produced their first album In the Garden in 1981. Coombes’ death in late 1997 acted as a catalyst for Lennox and Stewart to revive their friendship and musical partnership, after they had disbanded Eurythmics in 1990. Drummer Jim Toomey published the book We Were Tourists in 2018, describing the band’s career. Peet Coombes – vocals, guitar. Annie Lennox – vocals, keyboards. Eddie Chin – bass guitar. Jim Toomey – drums. Should Have Been Greatest Hits. “-” denotes a recording that did not chart or was not released in that territory. “Blind Among the Flowers”. “The Loneliest Man in the World”. “I Only Want to Be with You”. “So Good to Be Back Home Again”. “Don’t Say I Told You So”. “From the Middle Room”[16]. Although in retrospect, the Tourists are seen almost entirely as the band Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were in before they formed Eurythmics, the Scottish group was in fact more of a showcase for singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter Peet Coombes, who had first worked with Stewart in a folk duo in the early’70s. Adding Stewart’s girlfriend Lennox on vocals and occasional keyboards, the new trio dubbed themselves Catch and released one single, “Black Blood, ” on the Logo label in 1977. Adding bassist Eddie Chin and drummer Jim Toomey, the group re-christened themselves the Tourists and released their first album, The Tourists, in 1978. A follow-up, 1979’s Reality Effect, scored a U. Hit with a cover of Dusty Springfield’s I Only Want to Be With You. 1980’s Luminous Basement didn’t build on that popular success, and the album, which had a new electronic emphasis in contrast to the’60s-inspired guitar pop of the first two, sounded like the group had lost their aesthetic focus. The Tourists split later that year. In 1984, Epic released a cash-in compilation called Should Have Been Greatest Hits. David Allan Stewart (born 9 September 1952) is an English musician, songwriter and record producer, best known for Eurythmics, his successful professional partnership with Annie Lennox. [2] Normally credited as David A. Stewart, he won Best British Producer at the 1986, 1987 and 1990 Brit Awards. Film, television and soundtrack work. Film, publishing and soundtrack awards. MTV Video Music Awards. Stewart was born in Sunderland, England, [4] in 1952 and he attended Barnes Infants and Junior School and Bede Grammar School for Boys. [5] Whilst still in his teens, he secured a record deal as part of folk-rock band Longdancer. Despite being signed to Elton John’s record label, The Rocket Record Company, they did not achieve commercial success. He also collaborated with Brian Harrison to produce an EP on the Sunderland Multicord label (label number MULT-SH-1, producer Ken McKenzie), recording two songs (“Girl” and “Green She Said”) from a school musical production written by teacher Dick Bradshaw, one traditional number (“A Blacksmith Courted Me”) and a song written by Dave and Brian (“Deep December”). After leaving Wearside Stewart spent several years living in squats in London. In late 1976, he was introduced to Annie Lennox by Paul Jacobs. Soon, Stewart and Lennox became romantically involved. By 1977, the pair had teamed up with Sunderland musician Peet Coombes, releasing a single on Logo Records as The Catch. The band then developed into The Tourists who enjoyed modest success, including a hit in 1979 with a cover of the Dusty Springfield hit “I Only Want to Be with You”. The Tourists split up in 1980, as did Stewart and Lennox, though the pair continued to work together. They formed a new musical project named Eurythmics. After a string of hit singles and albums, the duo split in 1990, [7] but reunited in 1999 for the album Peace and another world tour. Lennox and Stewart worked together again in 2005, recording two new tracks for the greatest hits package Ultimate Collection, released to coincide with Eurythmics’ 25th anniversary.

In 1992, Stewart collaborated with singer Terry Hall (formerly of The Specials, The Fun Boy Three and The Colourfield) on the project Vegas.

He then began organising the 46664 campaign and series of concerts in the fight against HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

[27][28] Lennox’s profile was boosted by Diva’s singles, which included “Why” and “Walking on Broken Glass”. “Why” won an MTV Award for Best Female Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, while the video for “Walking on Broken Glass” set in the Rococo period, featured actors Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich. [29][30] “Little Bird” also formed a double A-side with “Love Song for a Vampire”, a soundtrack cut for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula. [31] The B-side of her single “Precious” was a self-penned song called “Step by Step”, which was later a hit for Whitney Houston for the soundtrack of the film The Preacher’s Wife. [31] The song “Keep Young and Beautiful” was included on the CD release as a bonus track (the original vinyl album had only ten tracks). The album entered the UK album chart at no. [27] In 1993, the album was included in Q magazine’s list of the “50 Best Albums of 1992″. Rolling Stone magazine 25 June 1992, p. 41 described the album as… And it is included in Rolling Stone’s 13 May 1999, p. 56 “Essential Recordings of the 90’s” list. The album won Best British Album at the 1993 Brit Awards. Main articles: Medusa (Annie Lennox album) and Peace (Eurythmics album). Although Lennox’s profile decreased for a period because of her desire to bring up her two children outside of the media’s glare, she continued to record. Her second album, Medusa, was released in March 1995. It consisted solely of cover songs, all originally recorded by male artists including Bob Marley, The Clash, and Neil Young. It entered the UK album chart at No. [27] It has achieved double platinum status in both the UK and the US. [32][34] The album yielded four UK singles: “No More I Love You’s” which entered the UK singles chart at No. 2, Lennox’s highest ever solo peak, [25] “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, “Waiting in Vain” and “Something So Right”. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards of 1996, [35] losing to Turbulent Indigo by Joni Mitchell, however, Lennox won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single “No More I Love You’s”. [36] Although Lennox declined to tour for the album, she did perform a large scale one-off concert in New York’s Central Park, which was filmed and later released on home video. [37] Lennox provided an extensive solo vocal performance (without lyrics) for the soundtrack score of the film Apollo 13 in 1995. Managed by Simon Fuller since the beginning of her solo career, he said that Lennox played an important but unheralded role in the success of the Spice Girls, encouraging the group to “ham up” their characters, which helped them top the charts around the world. [39] In 1997, Lennox re-recorded the Eurythmics track “Angel” for the Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute album, and also recorded the song “Mama” for The Avengers soundtrack album. In 1998, following the death of a mutual friend (former Tourists member Peet Coombes), she re-united with Dave Stewart. [40] Following their first performance together in eight years at a record company party, Stewart and Lennox began writing and recording together for the first time since 1989. This resulted in the album Peace. The title was designed to reflect the duo’s ongoing concern with global conflict and world peace. The record was promoted with a concert on the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior II, where they played a mixture of old and new songs. “I Saved the World Today” was the lead single, reaching number eleven on the UK singles chart. [41] Another single, released at the beginning of 2000, “17 Again”, made the UK top 40, and topped the US dance chart. [42] In 2002, Lennox received a Billboard Century Award; the highest accolade from Billboard Magazine, with Editor-in-Chief Timothy White describing her as one of the most original and unforgettably affecting artists in the modern annals of popular music. Main article: Bare (Annie Lennox album). Annie Lennox on stage in 2004. In 2003, Lennox released her third solo album, Bare. The album peaked at No. 3 in the UK and No. 4 in the US – her highest charting album in the US to date. [43] She embarked on her first tour as a solo artist to promote the album. The tour, simply titled Solo Tour, pre-dated the release of the album and visited both the US and Europe, with only a two-night stop in the UK at Saddler’s Wells Theatre in London. The album has been certified Gold in both the UK and the US and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 46th Grammy Awards. [44] The album was released with a DVD which included interviews and acoustic versions of songs by Lennox. In 2004, Lennox won the Academy Award for Best Song for “Into the West” from the film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, [46] which she co-wrote with screenwriter Fran Walsh and composer Howard Shore. Lennox performed the song live at the 76th Academy Awards. The song also won a Grammy award and a Golden Globe award. She had previously recorded “Use Well the Days” for the movie, which incorporates a number of quotations from Tolkien in its lyrics. This features on a bonus DVD included with the “special edition” of the movie’s soundtrack CD. In mid-2004, Lennox embarked on an extensive North American tour with Sting. [3] In July 2005, Lennox performed at Live 8 in Hyde Park, London, along with Madonna, Sting, and other popular musicians. In 2005, Lennox and Stewart collaborated on two new songs for their Eurythmics compilation album, Ultimate Collection, of which “I’ve Got a Life” was released as a single in October 2005. The promotional video for the song features Lennox and Stewart performing in the present day, with images of past Eurythmics videos playing on television screens behind them. The single peaked at number fourteen in the UK Singles Chart and was a number-one US Dance hit. [24][25] On 14 November 2005, Sony BMG repackaged and released Eurythmics’ back catalogue as 2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues. [48] Lennox also collaborated with Herbie Hancock doing the song “Hush, Hush, Hush” on his collaboration album, Possibilities in August 2005. Main article: Songs of Mass Destruction. After releasing “Sing” with 23 other invited singers, Lennox launched the SING campaign in 2007. Ending her long association with Stephen Lipson, Lennox’s fourth solo album, Songs of Mass Destruction, was recorded in Los Angeles with veteran producer Glen Ballard (known for producing Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill). It was released on 1 October 2007, and was the last studio album of Lennox’s contract with BMG. It peaked at No. 7 in the UK and No. 9 in the US. [24][25] Lennox stated that she believed the album consisted of “twelve strong, powerful, really emotive songs that people can connect to”. If she achieves that, she says, I can feel proud of [it], no matter if it sells ten copies or 50 million. “[50] Lennox described it as “a dark album, but the world is a dark place. It’s fraught, it’s turbulent. Most people’s lives are underscored with dramas of all kinds: there’s ups, there’s downs – the flickering candle. “[51] She added, “Half the people are drinking or drugging themselves to numb it. A lot of people are in pain. The album’s first single was “Dark Road”, released on 24 September 2007. Another song on the album, “Sing”, is a collaboration between Lennox and 23 prominent female artists: Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Céline Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k. Lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Kelis, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright. [52] Included among the group of vocalists are TAC activist members’ own vocal group known as The Generics, whose CD of music inspired Lennox to make “Sing”. [52] To promote Songs of Mass Destruction, Lennox embarked on a primarily North American tour called Annie Lennox Sings, which lasted throughout October and November 2007. Main article: The Annie Lennox Collection. Finishing out her contract with Sony BMG, Lennox released the compilation album The Annie Lennox Collection. Initially intended for release in September 2008, the release date was pushed back several months to allow Lennox to recuperate from a back injury. [54] The compilation was eventually released in the US on 17 February 2009, and in the UK and Europe on 9 March 2009. Included on the track listing are songs from her four solo albums, one from the Bram Stoker’s Dracula soundtrack, and two new songs. One of these is a cover of Ash’s single, “Shining Light”. The other is a cover of a song by the English band Keane, originally the B-side of their first single in 2000. Lennox renamed the song from its original title “Closer Now” to “Pattern of My Life”. A limited 3-disc edition of the album included a DVD compilation featuring most of Lennox’s solo videos since 1992, and also featured a second CD of rarer songs including a version of R. S “Everybody Hurts” with Alicia Keys and Lennox’s Oscar-winning “Into the West” from the third Lord of the Rings film. The album entered the UK Album Chart at No. 2 and remained in the top 10 for seven weeks. Lennox’s recording contract with Sony BMG concluded with the release of Songs of Mass Destruction and the subsequent retrospective album The Collection, and much was made in the press in late 2007/early 2008 about the apparent animosity between Lennox and the record company. Upon her return to the UK, Lennox met with the head of Sony BMG UK, Ged Docherty, who was “mortified” by the problems she had encountered with the South African branch. However, the debacle (partly inflamed when Lennox’s dissatisfaction with the South African office was made public on her blog) led to press reports falsely stating that she was being dropped by Sony BMG. The record company themselves quickly refuted the rumour stating that Lennox’s contract with them had merely been fulfilled and that they hoped she would consider remaining with them. The British tabloid, Daily Mirror, subsequently printed a retraction of its story about her being dropped by the label. Main article: A Christmas Cornucopia. In August 2010, Lennox signed a new contract with Island Records in the UK and Decca Records in the US (both part of the Universal Music Group). [57] Her first release was a Christmas album entitled A Christmas Cornucopia, issued on 15 November 2010. The album is a collection of Lennox’s interpretations of traditional festive songs such as “Silent Night” and “The First Noel”, along with one new composition, “Universal Child”, which was released as a download-only single on 13 October 2010. Lennox had previously showcased the song on the American Idol Gives Back TV show in April 2010. She sang the song “Angels from the Realms of Glory” from the album for the TNT special Christmas in Washington. A music video was produced for a second single from the album, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”. Lennox also performed the track on the UK chat show Loose Women in December 2010, and was also interviewed. [59] According to Metacritic, A Christmas Cornucopia has gained “generally favourable reviews”. [60] Ian Wade of BBC Music gave the album a very positive review, saying this collection could find itself becoming as much a part of the holiday season as arguments with loved ones. “[61] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine awarded the album 3.5/5 and said “Lennox seems more inspired on A Christmas Cornucopia than she has in years. “[62] John Hunt of Qatar Today magazine gave the album 9/10 and said “in particular, the vocal work and musical arrangement of’God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ are impactful to the point of being intimidating. On 4 June 2012, Lennox performed, as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert, in front of Buckingham Palace in London and on 12 August she performed “Little Bird” at the 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony. In October 2014, Lennox released her sixth solo album, Nostalgia. [65] The album is a collection of Lennox’s childhood favourite soul, jazz and blues songs. [66] Critic Mike Wass of Idolator stated that Lennox “puts her own inimitable spin” on the selected tracks. [67] The lead single “I Put a Spell on You” received its first radio play on 15 September 2014 by Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2. [68] Upon release, the album entered the UK and US Top 10, and reached number one on the US Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. On 28 January 2015, Lennox performed a live concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles entitled An Evening of Nostalgia with Annie Lennox. The show aired on PBS in the US in April 2015, and was released on DVD and Blu-ray internationally in May 2015. In May 2019, Lennox released Lepidoptera, containing four extemporized piano songs. The EP serves as a companion piece to Lennox’s art installation, Now I Let You Go… It is Lennox’s first independently distributed record. HIV campaigner Lennox in Germany ahead of World AIDS Day in 2008. Lennox appeared on stage at the 1988 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert and commenced activist work with the Sing Foundation afterwards. [71] In 1990, Lennox recorded a version of Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” for the Cole Porter tribute album Red Hot + Blue, a benefit for AIDS awareness. A video was also produced. [72] Lennox has been a public supporter of Amnesty International and Greenpeace for many years, and she and Dave Stewart donated all of the profits from Eurythmics’ 1999 Peacetour to both charities. [73] Concerned by Tibet freedom, [74] she supported Amnesty International campaigns for the release of Tibetan prisoners Palden Gyatso and Ngawang Choephel.

[3] In October 2006, Lennox spoke at the British House of Commons about the need for children in the UK to help their counterparts in Africa. [3] On 25 April 2007, Lennox performed “Bridge over Troubled Water” during the American Idol “Idol Gives Back” fundraising drive. [77] Lennox’s 2007 song “Sing” was born out of her involvement with Nelson Mandela’s 46664 campaign and Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), both of which are human rights groups which seek education and health care for those affected by HIV. [3][52] In December 2007, Lennox established The SING Campaign, an organisation dedicated to raising funds and awareness for women and children affected by HIV and AIDS. HIV campaigners, Memory Sachikonye (left) and Lennox (right) meet with the UK’s Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell in December 2011. On 11 December 2007, she performed in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway together with a variety of artists, which was broadcast to over 100 countries. [79] Lennox appeared at the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Tribute in June 2008[80] and then led a rally against the Gaza War in London on 3 January 2009. Lennox opened the 2009 Edinburgh Festival of Politics with commentary on Pope Benedict XVI’s approach to HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa. She said that the Pope’s denunciation of condoms on his recent tour of Africa had caused “tremendous harm” and she criticised the Roman Catholic Church for causing widespread confusion on the continent. Lennox also condemned the media’s obsession with “celebrity culture” for keeping the AIDS pandemic off the front page. During her address, Lennox wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “HIV positive”. Lennox wore similar T-shirts at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden on 30 October 2009, [82] during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show on 30 November 2009 (where she performed the new song “Full Steam”, a duet with singer David Gray), during a recorded performance for American Idol during a 21 April 2010 fundraiser, entitled Idol Gives Back, and during a performance on the live Comic Relief show on 18 March 2011. She is one of those exemplary human beings who chose to put her success in her chosen career to work in order to benefit others. She is a true friend of Africa and of South Africa. Her Aids activism in general, and support for the treatment action campaign in-particular, contributed significantly to turning the pandemic around in our country. Archbishop Desmond Tutu pays tribute to Annie Lennox in November 2013. In June 2010, Lennox was named as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for AIDS, [84] a role that continues as of August 2013. Lennox also works with other organisations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International and the British Red Cross in regard to the issue. [85] Lennox also supports the Burma Campaign UK, a non-governmental organisation that addresses the suffering in Burma and promotes democratisation. In December 2010, it was confirmed that Lennox was in the New Years Honours List and would become an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of her humanitarian work. She received the award from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on 28 June 2011. In November 2013, Lennox received the Music Industry Trusts Award for her career achievements in music and her charity commitments. [83] Elton John said of her award; “It is so well deserved and not only for your extraordinary contribution to music and songwriting but also for your outstanding and tireless work as an HIV and AIDS activist and supporter of women’s rights, ” while Adele stated; Annie Lennox has been a constant part of my life. An example of a brilliant talent that exudes excellence and influence on everyone. In 2015 Lennox attended, performed at and hosted several charitable events including: the 50th Amnesty International Annual Conference where she was a guest speaker, Elton John and David Furnish’s at home Gala in aid of the Elton John Aids Foundation where she performed, held a screening of He Named Me Malala, and hosted a Mothers2mothers 15th Anniversary gala. In 2016 Lennox was awarded the Elle Style Awards’Outstanding Achievement’ award, and the Royal Scottish Geographical Society award, the Livingstone Medal, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the fight against AIDS and support of women’s rights. Lennox was known for her androgyny during the 1980s. Lennox’s longtime support for LGBT rights have helped garner a significant following within the community. [90] According to The Advocate, her distinctive voice and provocative stage persona have made Lennox a longtime gay icon. Known for her androgynous look in the 1980s-first widely seen in the 1983 music video for “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” where she had close-cropped, orange-coloured hair, and wore a man’s suit brandishing a cane, a video which made her a household name-Lennox was viewed as the female version of Boy George, and during the Second British Invasion spurred by MTV, Newsweek magazine ran an issue which featured Lennox and Boy George on the cover of its 23 January 1984 edition with the caption Britain Rocks America – Again. In conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Lennox put many items from her collection-costumes, accessories, photographs, awards, ephemera from her political campaigns, and personal belongings-on display. This collection, which spanned her entire career, along with music videos and interviews, became The House of Annie Lennox at the institution from 15 September 2011 to 26 February 2012. [93] An expanded version of the exhibit was later installed at The Lowry in Salford, England from 17 March 2012 to 17 June, [94][95] before moving to Aberdeen for twelve weeks. In October 2014, Lennox faced criticism for failing to mention the history of lynching in the US when discussing her cover Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit” on her Nostalgia album. [97] Lennox did not respond to the criticism or apologize until the following January, noting that she felt speaking on it earlier could have made things worse and that a DVD covering the album includes comments from her concerning the horrors of lynching. “The video accompanying “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), in which Annie Lennox appeared with closely cropped orange hair and wearing a man’s business suit, was both striking and surreal. Lennox’s extraordinary image was at odds with her female contemporaries. Sweet Dreams: remembering the music video that broke the mould for female pop stars, (BBC). See also: Annie Lennox music videos. Both as part of Eurythmics and in her solo career, Lennox has made over 60 music promo videos. The 1987 Eurythmics album Savage and her 1992 solo album Diva were both accompanied by video albums, both directed by Sophie Muller. [99] Actors Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich appeared in the music video for “Walking on Broken Glass” in period costume, while the video for “Little Bird” paid homage to the different images and personas that have appeared in some of Lennox’s previous videos. [30] The clip features Lennox performing on stage with several lookalikes (male and female) that represent her personas from “Why”, “Walking on Broken Glass”, “Sweet Dreams”, “Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)”, “I Need a Man”, “Thorn in My Side”, “There Must Be an Angel”, and even her stage image from the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Lennox has been married three times. Her first marriage, from 1984 to 1985, was to German Hare Krishna devotee Radha Raman. [101] From 1988 to 2000, she was married to Israeli film and record producer Uri Fruchtmann. [102] The couple have two daughters, Lola and Tali. A son, Daniel, was stillborn in 1988. [103] On 15 September 2012, Lennox married Mitch Besser in London in a private ceremony. In September 2012, Lennox featured in Series 9 of the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? In which she discovered that her great-great-grandmother Jessie Fraser worked at the Broadford Flax Mill in Aberdeen. Her maternal grandmother, Dora Paton, was a dairy maid at the Balmoral Royal Estate and her maternal grandfather, William Ferguson, was a gamekeeper also at Balmoral. Both of Lennox’s parents died of cancer. [14] Lennox is agnostic[107] and a feminist. Main article: Annie Lennox discography. See also: Eurythmics discography. Songs of Mass Destruction (2007).

Eddie Chin (born November 3, 1948) is an American bassist who was formerly a part of The Tourists. As part of his early career, Chin joined the skiffle group, The Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra along with fellow musician Robert Greenfield. In 1976, Chin was introduced to Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart and The Tourists were formed. Eurythmics were a British pop duo consisting of members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Stewart and Lennox were both previously in The Tourists, a band which broke up in 1980; Eurythmics were formed later that year in Wagga Wagga, Australia. [2] The duo released their first studio album, In the Garden, in 1981 to little success, but went on to achieve global success when their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), was released in 1983. The title track became a worldwide hit which topped the charts in various countries including the US. The duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split up in 1990. By this time, Stewart was 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 reunited to record their ninth album, Peace, 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. The duo have won an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1984, the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1987, the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999, and in 2005 were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. [3] In 2017, the group was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, [4] and were nominated again in 2018. 1976-82: Formation and In the Garden. 1983-84: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and Touch. 1985-86: Be Yourself Tonight and new musical direction. 1986-90: Revenge, Savage and We Too Are One. 1990-98: Hiatus and solo careers. 2014: Reuniting for Beatles tribute concert. 2019: Reuniting for Sting’s 30th We’ll Be Together benefit concert. Lennox and Stewart met in 1975 in a restaurant in London, where Lennox worked at that time. [6] They first played together in 1976 in the punk rock band The Catch. After releasing one single as The Catch in 1977, the band evolved into The Tourists. Stewart and Lennox were also romantically involved. The Tourists achieved some commercial success, but the experience was reportedly an unhappy one. Personal and musical tensions existed within the group, whose main songwriter was Peet Coombes, and legal wranglings happened with the band’s management, publishers and record labels. Lennox and Stewart felt the fixed band line-up was an inadequate vehicle to explore their experimental creative leanings and decided their next project should be much more flexible and free from artistic compromise. They were interested in creating pop music, but wanted freedom to experiment with electronics and the avant-garde. It was in a hotel in Wagga Wagga, Australia, while playing around with a portable mini-synthesizer that Lennox and Stewart decided to become a duo. [7] Calling themselves Eurythmics (after the pedagogical exercise system that Lennox had encountered as a child[citation needed]), they decided to keep themselves as the only permanent members and songwriters, and involve others in the collaboration “on the basis of mutual compatibility and availability”. The duo signed to RCA Records. At this time, Lennox and Stewart also split as a couple. During the period that Lennox and Stewart were in The Tourists, and later as Eurythmics, they were managed by Kenny Smith and Sandra Turnbull of Hyper Kinetics Ltd. They recorded their first album in Cologne with Conny Plank (who had produced the later Tourists sessions). This resulted in the album In the Garden, released in October 1981. The album mixed psychedelic, krautrock and electropop influences, and featured contributions from Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit (of Can), drummer Clem Burke (of Blondie), Robert Görl of D. , and flautist Tim Wheater. A couple of the songs were co-written by guitarist Roger Pomphrey (later a TV director). The album was not a commercial success though the debut single “Never Gonna Cry Again” made the UK charts at No. [8] Lennox and Stewart then activated their new Eurythmics mode of operation by touring the record as a duo, accompanied by backing tracks and electronics, carted around the country by themselves in a horse-box. They began to employ much more electronics in their music, collaborating with Raynard Faulkner and Adam Williams, recording many tracks in the studio and playing live using various line-up permutations. However, the three new singles they released that year (“This Is the House”, “The Walk” and “Love Is a Stranger”) all performed badly on initial release in the UK. Although their mode of operation had given them the creative freedom they desired, commercial success still eluded them and the responsibility of personally running so many of their affairs (down to transporting their own stage equipment) took its toll. Lennox apparently suffered at least one nervous breakdown during this period, while Stewart was hospitalised with a collapsed lung. MTV has paved the way for a host of invaders from abroad: Def Leppard, Adam Ant, Madness, Eurythmics, the Fixx and Billy Idol, to name a few. In return, grateful Brits, even superstars like Pete Townshend and the Police, have mugged for MTV promo spots and made the phrase “I want my MTV” a household commonplace. Anglomania: The Second British Invasion, by Parke Puterbaugh for Rolling Stone, November 1983. Eurythmics’ commercial breakthrough came with their second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), released in January 1983. The successful title track featured a dark and powerful sequenced synth bass line and a dramatic video that introduced the now orange crew-cut Lennox to audiences. The song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, [8] becoming one of the year’s biggest sellers, and later topped the US Billboard Hot 100. The band’s fortunes changed immensely from this moment on, and Lennox quickly became a pop icon, gracing the covers of numerous magazines including Rolling Stone. Their previous single, “Love Is a Stranger”, was also re-released and became another chart success. The video for the song saw Lennox in many different character guises, a concept she would employ in various subsequent videos. The album’s working title was Invisible Hands (as was a track left off the album), inspiring the name of the British independent company Invisible Hands Music – known for releasing music by Hugh Cornwell, Mick Karn and Hazel O’Connor. The album also featured a cover of the 1968 Sam & Dave hit “Wrap It Up”, performed as a duet between Lennox and Green Gartside of Scritti Politti. The duo quickly recorded a follow-up album, Touch, which was released in November 1983. It became the duo’s first No. 1 album in the UK, and also spawned three major hit singles. Who’s That Girl? Was a top 3 hit in the UK, [8] the video depicting Lennox as both a blonde chanteuse and as a gender-bending Elvis Presley clone. It also featured cameo appearances by Hazel O’Connor, Bananarama (including Stewart’s future wife, Siobhan Fahey), Kate Garner of Haysi Fantayzee, Thereza Bazar of Dollar, Jay Aston and Cheryl Baker of Bucks Fizz, Kiki Dee, Jacquie O’Sullivan and the gender-bending pop singer Marilyn, who would go on to musical success of his own that same year. The upbeat, calypso-flavoured “Right by Your Side” showed a different side of Eurythmics altogether and also made the Top 10, and “Here Comes the Rain Again” No. Eight in the UK, [8] No. Four in the US was an orchestral/synth ballad (with orchestrations by Michael Kamen). In 1984 RCA released Touch Dance, an EP of remixes of four of the tracks from Touch, aimed at the club market. The remixes were by prominent New York City producers Francois Kevorkian and John “Jellybean” Benitez. Also released in 1984 was Eurythmics’ soundtrack album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother). Virgin Films had contracted the band to provide a soundtrack for Michael Radford’s modern film adaptation of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. However, 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). Nevertheless, 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, [10] and the album was withdrawn from the market for a period while matters were litigated. The album’s first single, “Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)”, was a top 5 hit in the UK, [8] Australia and across Europe, and a major dance success in the United States. Annie Lennox performing during Revenge Tour in 1986. The duo’s next album, Be Yourself Tonight, was produced in a week in Paris. It showcased much more of a “band style” and a centred sound (with an R&B influence), with real drums, brass, and much more guitar from Stewart. 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? Was a US Billboard top five hit and Australian No. One, while “There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)” (featuring Wonder’s harmonica contribution) became their first and only UK No. [8] The feminist anthem “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” (a duet with Aretha Franklin, though originally intended for Tina Turner), and “It’s Alright (Baby’s Coming Back)” also rode high in the charts. In September 1985, Eurythmics performed Would I Lie to You? At the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. Eurythmics released their next album, Revenge, in 1986. The album continued their move towards a band sound, verging on an AOR-pop/rock sound. Sales continued to be strong in the UK and internationally, but were somewhat slower in the US, though “Missionary Man” reached No. 14 on the US Hot 100 chart and went all the way to No. 1 on the US Album Oriented Rock chart (AOR). Revenge would eventually certify double Platinum in the UK and Gold in the US. The band went on a massive worldwide tour in support of the album, and a live concert video from the Australian leg of the tour was released. In 1987, Lennox and Stewart released the album Savage. This saw a fairly radical change within the group’s sound, being based mainly around programmed samples and drum loops (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. A video album was also made, directed by Sophie Muller, with a video for each song. This was largely a concept piece, following characters portrayed by Lennox, specifically one of a frustrated housewife-turned-vamp as exemplified in “Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)”, a UK top 30 hit[8]. The brazen, sexually charged rocker “I Need a Man” remains a Eurythmics staple, as does “You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart”. Much less commercial than the two previous albums, Savage was mostly ignored in the US, although rock radio in more progressive markets supported “I Need a Man”. In the duo’s native UK however, the album was a top 10 success and was certified Platinum. In 1989, Eurythmics released the album We Too Are One, which entered the UK Albumc Chart at No. 1 their second No. 1 album after Touch[8] and gave the duo four UK Top 30 hit singles. The album was a return to the rock/pop sound of their mid-80s albums and was certified Double Platinum in the UK, but was less successful in the US (although the single “Don’t Ask Me Why” grazed the Billboard Top 40). Other singles from the album included “Revival”, “The King and Queen of America” and “Angel”. Accompanying the album, the duo conducted their Revival world tour from 8 September 1989 to 25 January 1990. [12][13] Parts of the tour (both on and off-stage) were interspersed with promo videos for Eurythmics’ 1990 video album We Two Are One Too. After strenuous years of touring and recording (Eurythmics had released eight studio albums in eight years), a rift had developed between the duo and Eurythmics disbanded, although no formal notice was given. Stewart began writing film soundtracks and had a big international hit in 1990 with the instrumental track “Lily Was Here” (featuring saxophonist Candy Dulfer). The single reached No. 6 in the UK[14] and the Top 20 throughout much of Europe, as well as in Australia and the US. He also formed a band called The Spiritual Cowboys, releasing two albums with this group in the early 1990s. Lennox took time off from her career to have a baby and to consider a life after Eurythmics. Accordingly, the duo had very little communication with each other from 1991 to 1998. In 1991, Eurythmics’ Greatest Hits collection was released, entering the UK album chart at No. New remixes of “Sweet Dreams” and “Love Is a Stranger” were also released as singles at this time. In 1992, Lennox released her first solo album, Diva. The album was a critical and popular success, entering the UK album chart at No. 1 and achieving quadruple platinum status (more than any Eurythmics studio album had done), as well as producing a string of five hit singles. She followed this up in 1995 with her second album, Medusa, an album of cover versions. It became her second No. 1 album in the UK, reaching double platinum status both there and in the US. Stewart, meanwhile, released the solo albums Greetings from the Gutter (1995), and Sly-Fi (1998), but neither was commercially successful. Stewart and Lennox performing on The Today show in November 2005. In the late 1990s, Eurythmics reunited and recorded a new album, Peace, which was released in 1999. The single “I Saved the World Today” reached No. 11 in the UK Singles Chart, [8] and a remix of “17 Again” gave the duo their first chart-topper on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The band also embarked on a world tour, dubbed the “Peacetour”, to support the album. The tour started on 18 September 1999 at Cologne’s Kölnarena and ended on 6 December 1999 at the London Docklands Arena (which was filmed and released on video and DVD). All proceeds from the tour went to Greenpeace and Amnesty International. In 2001, Stewart performed with U2 for the America: A Tribute to Heroes benefit concert. In 2002, he collaborated with Bryan Ferry on his album Frantic. In June 2003, Lennox released her third solo album, entitled Bare, which was a top 5 hit in the UK and the US. With three tracks reaching the top of the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. She also recorded the song “Into the West” for Peter Jackson’s film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, where it appeared as the closing theme and earned Lennox the Academy Award for Best Song. In November 2003, Eurythmics played three songs at the 46664 in Cape Town, South Africa, for which Stewart was one of the primary organisers. They played an unplugged version of “Here Comes the Rain Again”, “7 Seconds” with Youssou N’Dour and “Sweet Dreams”. Stewart collaborated with The Rolling Stones vocalist Mick Jagger on the soundtrack to the movie Alfie, released in 2004, including the critically acclaimed “Old Habits Die Hard”, which won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song from a Motion Picture. On 7 November 2005, Eurythmics released Ultimate Collection, a remastered greatest hits package with two new songs. One of them, “I’ve Got a Life”, was released as a single and reached No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart[8] as well as spending three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music/Club Play in the US. Lennox and Stewart appeared on a number of TV shows to promote their new compilation album, which was a Top 5 hit and certified Platinum in the UK. On 14 November 2005, the duo’s label, RCA, re-released their eight studio albums in remastered and expanded editions featuring rare B-sides, remixes and unreleased songs. The remasters were made available separately with expanded artwork, and also together in a collector’s box set, entitled Boxed. However, the 1984 soundtrack album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) was not included in this re-release campaign as Virgin Records holds the rights to that album. Also in 2005, Eurythmics were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. [15] In 2007, Lennox resumed her solo career with her fourth album, Songs of Mass Destruction, which was a top 10 success in the UK and the US. In 2009, she released her first solo “greatest hits” package, The Annie Lennox Collection. The same year, Lennox stated that although she and Stewart remain friends, she does not foresee any further Eurythmics projects in the future. In an interview with Reuters in September 2012, Stewart was quizzed on whether a new Eurythmics album is in the works, to which he replied: “We’re not talking about one right now, but never say never”, but he was considering a musical centred on the music of Eurythmics. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart performed as a duo for “The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles”. The event was recorded at the Los Angeles Convention Center on 27 January 2014, the day after the Grammy Awards. They performed The Beatles song “The Fool on the Hill”. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, billed as Eurythmics, performed at Sting’s 30th We’ll Be Together benefit concert in aid of his Rainforest Foundation Fund on 9 December 2019 at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. The group played Would I Lie to You? “, “Here Comes the Rain Again”, and “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, before returning to join in the finale performance of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’ along with the night’s other performers.

He Tourists were a typical British post-punk new wave group, except for the fact that in a brief career spanning 1979 and 1980 they recorded three albums (The Tourists, Reality Effect and Luminous Basement), all of which made the UK charts. They also scored five chart singles, two of which (I Only Want To Be With You and So Good To Be Back Home Again) made the Top Ten. I Only Want To Be With You also made the US singles chart. Undemonstrative northerner songwriter and co-lead singer Peet Coombes had a pinched nasal tenor that suited the slightly sour sentiments of songs like Another English Day and Don’t Get Left Behind. But The Tourists’ secret weapon was peroxide blonde Annie Lennox who tended to overpower Coombes on their duets and helped make the overtly pop The Loneliest Man In The World their first Top 40 hit. Apart from bassist Eddie Chin’s Chinese nationality and ponytail, her gaunt good looks, short bleached fringe and mildly androgynous air were The Tourists’ sole distinguishing feature. Their third album (Luminous Basement) integrated Annie’s classically-trained keyboards into the mix while maintaining their basic pop focus. Peet Coombes’s lyrics had an inward-looking, psychoanalytical flavour and Lennox, on her one contribution (One Step Nearer The edge) maintained that introspection. Meanwhile, Dave Stewart brought in a Yardbirds-style rave-up in Let’s Take A Walk. Don’t Say I Told You So showed that the group could still come up with a catchy single, but it and the album enjoyed only modest success. After the band split in 1980, Coombes and Chin formed the Acid Drops (who vanished into oblivion) while Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox formed Eurythmics (who most certainly did not).

Original drawing by Frank Lloyd Wright for the design of the Rayward House, TIRRANNA New Canaan, Connecticut (1955) signed and dated by Frank Lloyd Wright. This is an original drawing not a Blueprint. Page N5 titled sections. Original drawing by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, including handwritten notes on constructive details. Made in pencil, colored pencils and ink. Frank Lloyd Wrigh (1867 – 1959) was an American architect, one of the leading masters of twentieth-century architecture. Precursor of organic architecture, initiator of the Prairie School movement, developing the Usonian concept of housing. Considered one of the most important architects in history, with an extensive list of works that he created mainly in the first half of the twentieth century, being the author of buildings as the well-known Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Waterfall House (Fallingwater) or the Tokyo Imperial Hotel. In 2017, the MOMA in New York held the exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright, Unpacking the Archive, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth, where numerous drawings similar to this one were shown. This drawing corresponds to the design of the Rayward house, also known as Tirranna, built in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1955 for Joyce and John Rayward. In this house you can appreciate the essence of the concept of Wright’s organic architecture in which all the technical detail of the architectural and engineering work merges with the art of creating new forms that integrate with the surrounding nature. This drawing is titled “Sections”. It is signed and dated. Provenance: Heritage Auctions (October 2018, lot #79103).
