As we celebrate her 70th birthday, Annie talks us through her key songs and musical career in 大象传媒 interviews with Annie Nightingale, Janice Long, Kirsty Young, Jo Whiley and others.

As we celebrate her 70th birthday, Annie talks us through her key songs and hugely successful musical career in many 大象传媒 interviews and appearances with Annie Nightingale, Janice Long, Kirsty Young, Jo Whiley, Steve Wright, Richard Skinner, David Jensen, Johnnie Walker and Paul Gambaccini.

Key songs include I Only Wanna Be With You from The Tourists, Sweet Dreams, Love Is A Stranger, Here Comes The Rain Again (written on an American plane journey), Sisters Are Doin鈥� It For Themselves, There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart), as well as Diva, Walking On Broken Glass, Waiting in Vain and Universal Child from her solo albums.

We hear about Annie鈥檚 early life in Aberdeen, studying music in London, starting her strong personal and professional partnership with Dave Stewart, getting success very quickly with The Tourists, forming Eurythmics, her love of performing and the toll that touring took on her amazing voice. Annie also discusses her first film acting role alongside Al Pacino, her collaborations with Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, and her equally successful solo career.
