Annie Lennox, born 25 December 1954 and from Aberdeen, first turned up with the Tourists in the late '70s before she and Dave Stewart became Eurythmics and took on the world in the '80s. The 1983 video for "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", with her orange hair cropped short and a sharp lounge suit, made her one of the most striking faces of the decade, and "Love Is a Stranger", "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" kept the hits coming.
She went solo in 1992 with Diva, and it proved that big contralto needed no one to lean on. "Why" is a hushed, aching confrontation, "Walking On Broken Glass" a sprightly, string-laced pop romp with a bruise underneath, and "Little Bird" a soaring shot of defiance; the same year she sang "Love Song For A Vampire" for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Medusa followed in 1995, a covers record that took on "A Whiter Shade of Pale" among others.
The honors piled up: 8 Brit Awards, a record 6 of them as Best British Female Artist, 4 Grammys, and in 2004 both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for "Into the West" from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. She has sold more than 80 million records counting her Eurythmics work, went into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Stewart in 2022, and has poured much of her energy into campaigning on HIV/AIDS among women and children in Africa, work that earned her an OBE in 2011.
