Whilst most people associate Eurythmics with Lennox, I personally associate it more to Dave. Being a synth player myself, I believe his synthwork was somewhat revolutionary and that he is one of the most underrated synth players in history. This tends to happen in duo bands. The singer gets the entire spotlight. To a lesser extent, this also happened to Dave Ball, the keyboardist from Soft Cell.
I love the polemic of comments here: Lennox fans love it, Hayes fans hate it. I see a band covering a song they like to try and establish their identity. This was 82, their prior release was bit of neo-psychedelic new wave, and they then turned to experimental electronic music in their home studio. Put that together and by 83 the sweet dreams of success would come true.
Actually not. Although it has that potential of a hit single. :) It's a cover of an Isaac Hayes and David Porter song (not that I've heard the original though :)), here Eurythmics also feature some backing vocal support from Scritti Politti's Green Gartside.
All of you soulless no-talent critics who go around pissing on art should Move On, Grow the fuck up, and go listen to the shit that you feed on!!!!GTFOGFYourselves!
This is when Eurythmics were GOOD! right up to Sex Crime... The mid 80s was disaster for Eurythmics in my opinion. So SOLD OU US crap. Then they got FANTASTIC again with SAVAGE!
to the person who said the album is under rated, you bought it, you like it, so thats all that matters , Enjoy, after all the best song in the world is the song you like best

Sorry I am a Eurythmics fan especially an Annie Lennox fan, but this is brutal. I love the original by the T-Birds, but this is hard to listen to. Annie my love what were you thinking.
This song is so great! I remember listening to my aunt dance around the house to this song. This whole album is underrated. Does anyone remember the haunting song, "Jennifer"?
Yess!! i love the early eurythmics, i even did a school project on them..! I used to "sing" the song Jennifer to my mates girlfriend, named Jennifer, whom he really didn like:
"Jennifer, with your orange hair, Jennifer, with your green eyes, Jennifer, with your orange hair, Jennifer, Where are you.. tonight, ..(underneath the water..)..
The golden dude must have been a major inspiration to the Eurythmics at the time. Annie's glasses: His! Rhythm Machine: His. Funk guitar: his. 50% of Bass Synth: His! Any more questions let us know...
