There's not a single 80's collection that is complete without the Eurythmics. Their story is, and particularly the story of Annie Lennox is one of the few from the decade that is almost more compelling then their music. And that is not to say anything bad about their artistic impact - with hits like "Sweet Dreams", "Missionary Man", and this track, they made a bigger impact on 80's music than most.

And even in the drippiest, syrupy pop songs, Annie Lennox manages to effect the music with raw power and emotion. Perhaps one of the most soulfully impactful albums of the 90's was her solo effort 'Diva', which was Lennox at her vocal peak, tearing into hits like "Why" and "Little Bird" in a way that made you really feel the lyrics.

I always try to avoid the novelty of truly classic songs...too easy. Few of the tracks I have worked with were any more than top 20 or top 10 hits. While this track only reached number 4 on the US charts, I consider it to be one of the classics.

At 130 BPM, I have kicked it up and given it a euro-disco trip.

luv, peace and music...always
