Annie Lennox burst onto the international stage in the early 1980s as part of Eurythmics. The British synth-pop duo, also featuring Dave Stewart, was at the forefront of pop music’s New Wave, and Lennox’s appearance in the “Sweet Dreams” video – close cropped, bright orange hair in a bold man’s suit and tie – created a captivating image that, when paired with her astonishing, soulful voice – was impossible to forget. After several more hits with Eurythmics, Lennox went solo in the 1990s, and became one of the most successful and awarded female British artists of the past 50 years. Over her career she has won 8 Brit Awards, 4 Grammys, an MTV Music Video Award, Billboard Century Award, an Oscar, and a Golden Globe. She is also a passionate and celebrated philanthropist.
