Before forming Eurythmics and finding international success, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were members of the British new wave pop band The Tourists. Formed in 1976, they released 3 albums before breaking up in 1980. Their 1979 sophomore release Reality Effect provided the band their biggest hit- their cover of the Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want to Be with You."
