Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician David A. Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics’ career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as “the white Grace Jones”.

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media’s glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track “Angel” for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.
In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to sing for the The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Soundtrack in the song “Into the West” which won an academy award for best song in 2003.

Annie Lennox is a woman born to be respected. She has an amazing voice and her looks are defining of an era, to call her the white Grace Jones is an insult, Grace is great in her own way but Annie's voice is far beyond Grace's.

@liquiddatura: Actually, she wasn't dropped, her contract only covered four solo albums and consequently expired after the release of Songs of mass destruction (and so far she has not given any indication whether she is going to re-sign with SonyBMG or look for another label). Although I reckon that there's going to be a Best of compilation some time next year...
