ANNIE LENNOX

Today we have our very last jazz musician💕😩, as much as it saddens me to tell you guys that we’ve come to the end😭 it also makes me real happy to finish it on a good note (pun intended😂😉) I’ll definitely miss writing about my favorite jazz musicians and I had to research upon a few people too which was an entirely different experience. So here we have our last jazz musician. Also, feel free to check out my friends’ blogs too , they’re thorough and are very interesting to read!! ❤
          Ann Lennox  was born in 1954,she is a Scottish singer-songwriter, political activist and philanthropist. Honestly, Ann Lennox is the whole musical package. There’s no music genre that she hasn’t stepped into and has managed to be super successful in it🔥💕😎. After achieving moderate success in the late 1970s as part of the new wave band The Tourists, she and fellow musician Dave Stewart went on to achieve international success in the 1980s as Eurythmics. Appearing in the 1983 music video for “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” with orange cropped hair and wearing a man’s business suit, the BBC states, “all eyes were on Annie Lennox, the singer whose powerful androgynous look defied the male gaze”😍🔥. Subsequent hits with Eurythmics include “There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)” and “Here Comes the Rain Again”.
     The most interesting thing about Annie was that I found that she appeared on stage at the 1988 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert and commenced activist work with the Sing Foundation afterwards.In 1990, Lennox recorded a version of Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” for the Cole Porter tribute album Red Hot + Blue, a benefit for AIDS awareness. A video was also produced. Lennox has been a public supporter of Amnesty International and Greenpeace for many years, and she and Dave Stewart donated all of the profits from Eurythmics’ 1999 Peacetour to both charities. Concerned by Tibet freedom,she supported Amnesty International campaigns for the release of Tibetan prisoners Palden Gyatso and Ngawang Choephel.

~thank you jazz lovers it’s been an incredible experience, if you’ve missed out on the previous posts feel free to read em❤~
