Be Yourself Tonight by Eurythmics
Be Yourself Tonight is an album by Eurythmics, released in 1985. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 43 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Would I Lie To You?”, on 34 lists with a best position of #61.
Be Yourself Tonight, Eurythmics' fourth studio album, came out on RCA on 29 April 1985, and it's Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart making a sharp turn away from the sound and look of their earlier records, toward punchier rock and R&B. Stewart produced it, and Lennox sings like she has finally been let off the leash.
It threw off four singles: the swaggering "Would I Lie to You?", the sparkle of "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", the Aretha Franklin duet "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" and "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)". It became their biggest seller, a number one in Australia, top five in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and top ten in the US and Germany. The 1986 Brit Awards nominated it for British Album of the Year, and two of its singles picked up Grammy nominations.
