Eurythmics were a British music duo consisting of members
Annie Lennox and
David A. Stewart. Stewart and Lennox were both previously in the band
The Tourists (originally known as
The Catch), who split up in 1980; Eurythmics were formed that year. The duo released their first album,
In the Garden, in 1981 to little fanfare, but went on to achieve global success with their second album
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), released in 1983. The
title track was a worldwide hit, topping 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.
