Eurythmics were one of the most successful duos to emerge in the early
'80s. Where most of their British synth pop contemporaries disappeared from
the charts as soon as new wave faded away in 1984, Eurythmics continued to
have hits until the end of the decade, making vocalist Annie Lennox a star
in her own right, as well as establishing instrumentalist Dave Stewart as a
successful, savvy producer and songwriter. By the mid-'80s,
singles like «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)» and «Here Comes the Rain
Again» had made the group into international stars, and the group had begun
to experiment with their sound, delving into soul and R&B. As the decade
wore on, the duo's popularity eroded somewhat - by the late '80s, they were
having trouble cracking the Top 40 in America, although they stayed
successful in the U.K. Source:
