(The Tourists - around for a short time, but on to bigger things)

Before Eurythmics entered our lexicon of Band names, we had The Tourists, a punk/new wave band founded by Peet Coombes in 1977 and featuring Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox, Jim Toomey and Eddie Chin. Great band with good production by way of German Prog-rock producer Conny Plank. As with many bands of the day, The Tourists had trouble breaking into the charts and airplay was sporadic, especially in the States.

After releasing three albums, Coombes called it quits and Lennox and Stewart resurfaced as Eurythmics. And the rest, as they say, is history.

But long before things and fortunes changed, The Tourists issued their first single "Blind Among The Flowers" in 1979.

From last night's AMAs...

Annie Lennox wowed audience at the American Music Awards with an emotionally-charged performance - just three months after undergoing successful spinal surgery.

The former Eurythmics singer was ordered to endure six months of physiotherapy before doctors expected her to walk properly again - after determining she was suffering from an impinged nerve in August (08).

Lennox's contributions to music were marked before her rousing performance on Sunday (23Nov08) - when she was presented the Award of Merit at the 36th Annual AMAs in Los Angeles - lifting the star-studded audience to their feet.

If Annie Lennox doesn't prove that you just get better and better, I don't know who does.
