Eurythmics's Biography
Eurythmics formed in 1980, essentially out of the ashes of the Tourists but quintessentially out of the ashes of the relationship between singer Annie Lennox and musician Dave Stewart. The Tourists had achieved a huge hit single with their cover version of Dusty Springfield’s I Only Want To Be With You (No.4 in the UK in November 1979), but things hadn’t worked out either professionally, or personally, for the pair so it was high time to try something new.
Stewart commented somewhat later that “most couples get famous and then break up. But we broke up and then got famous.” Around the same time, Lennox said that she “knew creatively I didn’t want to work with anybody else except Dave” and that there was a strange type of tension caused by the pain of the break-up and the excitement of working together on the music.
The original meeting between the pair happened in London around 1976. As Dave explains, “A mutual friend invited me into his new squat, sat me down with a bottle of Jack Daniels and then insisted that I should come to meet his friend who was working as a waitress in a local restaurant.” Annie, who had recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London, was actually working at a “rather conservative health-food restaurant.” Bearing in mind their condition at the time, it is hardly surprising that Dave and his friend were ejected from the restaurant almost immediately and ended up writing pathetic messages on the steamed-glass of the outside windows. Annie remembers things slightly differently. “The first words Dave said were, “Will you marry me?” she says. “I thought he was a serious nutter. From that night on we were inseparable.”
