Annie Lennox had a magical start being born on Christmas Day 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland! The talented singer studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London, before going on to success.
Breaking into the music industry wasn't always the easiest path though, and at times it would get Annie down and make her question her true calling! Her breakthrough would finally come in 1980, after her second collaboration with English music legend Dave Stewart!

Together, Annie and Dave would form the group Eurythmics, which would result in notable fame for both singers! Some of Annie's earliest hits as part of Eurythmics include "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of this)", which reached number one U.S. charts, and "Here Comes the Rain Again"!
It was in these early days that Annie became known for her androgyny, often wearing suits and dying her cropped hair. Her looks drew much attention, but it was her voice that kept audiences coming back for more!
