Eurythmics (often incorrectly
referred to as 'The Eurythmics') are a seminal
British synth pop duo consisting of Annie Lennox and
David A. Stewart. Stewart (formerly of a folk-rock
group Longdancer) and Lennox (a student at the Royal
Academy of Music) quickly became lovers after
meeting in the late 1970s, and formed a group called
The Catch, with Pete Coombes, Stewart's guitarist
and songwriting collaborator. By 1979 (see 1979 in
music), The Catch had become The Tourists, who
released three moderately successful British albums,
The Tourists, Reality Effect and Luminous Basement.
They had a U.K. top five hit with a remake of 'I
Only Want To Be With You'.
