WOULD SHE LIE TO YOU?

Ok, I'll admit the physical appearance of the woman rock star plays a huge part in the album that I purchase.  What heterosexual guy will claim differently.  However, I do try very hard to know as much about the woman rock star's life and I try to listen to her music as much as possible---Space, time and finances permitting.  I always been a huge fan of Annie Lennox's career in the music industry.  Yes, most of her best known work for the Eurythmics has been in the 1980's just as most of her best known solo work has been in the 1990's.  Still, I admire her career in music as much as her work for charities.
Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Great Britain, on December 25, 1954, Ann "Annie" Lennox had the special distinction of being born on Christmas Day.  Born to an impoverished family in a small apartment with two rooms, she managed to attend Aberdeen High School for Girls (later named Harlaw Academy) and later attended the Royal Academy of Music.   She briefly was the lead singer of a rock band called the Devil's Playground, but quit before they appeared in the BBC television talent show game show called New Faces.  Annie Lennox met David Allan Stewart and they joined the band the Catch.  The Catch was renamed the Tourists and released three albums before breaking up.  Anne Lennox and David Stewart formed a more streamlined version of the Tourists which had only two members instead of five called the Eurythmics.  The Eurythmics released eight albums before breaking up.  With Annie Lennox alliance with David Stewart ended forever, she released two solo albums before doing one last Eurythmics album with David Stewart.  The alliance between Annie Lennox and David Stewart ended a second and permanently final time.  Annie Lennox released three more albums.  The most recent Annie Lennox album was filled with Christmas music which was released two years ago in 2010.
