Christmas Birthday(s) and a single bought when it came out!

Eurythmics - Belinda (with Dave playing bass and do you recognise the drummer . . . ?)
Play until the end . . . . . .and at THAT moment everyone fell in love with her!


Never Gonna Cry Again . . . . . . 
(recognise anyone else!) Holgar Czukay on French Horn, with Clem Burke on Drums)

 We don’t think so much about birthdays this time of year but what about this . . . . . . Christmas Day marks the Birthday of perhaps our finest ever pop voice!

Who IS this bonnie lass?


Of course its legendary Eurythmics ad solo virtuoso

ANNIE LENNOX

Ann "Annie" Lennox (born 25 December 1954)



and of course today would have been Alex Chilton’s birthday



The Boxtops - The Letter  (bought when it came out)



and finally . . . . . . . . more Annie


Annie [Nightingale] introduces the whole Shebang! (in case you don’t believe me!)
worth listening to again? I think so!

Annie Lennox- lead vocal and multi instrumentaist (flute here)
Dave Stewart (writer and bass player)
Roger Pomphrey - lead guitar
Clem Burke - drums
Penny Tobin - keyboard and backing vocals (cruelly underrated and under exposed. If Annie chose her as backing vocals she wasn’t messing about she chose the best to back her, like  Eddi Reader )
Tim Wheater - flautist
Holgar Czukay - French Horn
I like her - can you tell?



First time I saw the band and Annie sing . . . . . . . . . hook line and sinker!
