• The British synth-pop duo Eurythmics hit big in the early 1980s with smash hits like Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and Here Comes the Rain Again, but transcended the relatively brief New Wave movement to continue their stay on the charts through the rest of the decade.

  Vocalist and co-songwriter Annie Lennox went on to a successful solo career that continues today, and songwriter/instrumentalist Dave Stewart is much sought after for his production skills.
