  1. 40 years ago this week, "Missionary Man" by #Eurythmics entered the #Top40 at 34. It peaked at 14 on 11 Oct 1986. The video uses similar stop-motion techniques to "Sledgehammer", but didn't seem to have any of the same creative team working on it. youtube.com/watch?v=0-Q3cp3cp88 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

  3. ✨Eurythmics✨Sweet Dreams

    Annie Lennox ya nos avisó en los 80 de que el mundo es una selva de sueños y realidades, y lo mejor es que 40 años después, el ritmo sigue siendo imbatible.

  4. Various Artists, A Very Special Christmas, 1987 on A&M

    Long before Maria’s “All I Want For Christmas” came this wonderful compilation to benefit Special Olympics International with a whos-who of mid-late 80s artists covering holiday songs:

    • The Pointer Sisters – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
    • Eurythmics – Winter Wonderland
    • Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear
    • Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Merry Christmas Baby
    • The Pretenders – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
    • John Cougar Mellencamp – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
    • Sting – Gabriel’s Message
    • Run-DMC – Christmas in Hollis
    • U2 – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
    • Madonna – Santa Baby
    • Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Little Drummer Boy
    • Bryan Adams – Run Rudolph Run
    • Bon Jovi – Back Door Santa
    • Alison Moyet – The Coventry Carol
    • Stevie Nicks – Silent Night

    This is holiday music I can get behind – though Christmas in Hollis does have a certain earworm quality I still love it. Artwork by Keith Haring, of course.

    My copy via Beverly Coin & Jewelry. Different versions exist with black vs gold lettering on the cover, and with green/red on different side labels.
