1954 -

During the 80's, Lennox enjoyed success in both Europe and North America as a part of the band Eurythmics. Along with the second half of the band, Dave Stewart, Eurythmics topped the charts with songs like "Sweet Dreams" and "Here Comes the Rain Again". Together released many songs and put out several albums during that decade, until the Eurythmics split in '89. At the time, there was a fair amount of speculation as to whether Lennox would be able to achieve comparable success in her solo career. Her answer to this speculation was to release "Why", her first solo song, in 1992. The song (along with her first album, Diva) rose to the top of the charts, effectively proving her solo abilities.

In fact, the eventual commercial success of Diva exceeded anything the Eurythmics had achieved, not to mention earning Lennox nominations (and several awards, including a Grammy) for just about every major music award. She helped to further secure her reputation as one of the best female singer/song-writers today with songs like "Walking on Broken Glass", defying the odds in the often "one-hit-wonder" world of popular music.

Throughout her career, Annie Lennox has also tried to maintain her artistic integrity and in 1990 was quoted as saying "There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't." Lennox has kept her fan following throughout this decade and has even re-united with her old Eurythmics partner, Dave Stewart and they will be releasing a new album (through Arista Records) titled Peace, on October 26th. And she has still never endorsed Pepsi.
