Photographer Steve Rapport recalls, “I used to work with Eurythmics all the time, mostly on video shoots (in the Sweet Dreams video, Dave can be seen fiddling with my Minolta light meter while he’s sitting in the field with the cows).”
“This session was shot for No.1 Magazine (long since extinct) on a Eurythmics press day, they’d been doing interviews all day, & when I started shooting, Annie was tired & grumpy because she hadn’t eaten.”
“I suggested that her assistant get her a sandwich, while I took pics of Dave. After Annie had eaten, she came back looking radiant, relaxed & beautiful, and I got some gorgeous images.”
The band were doing PR for the release of their fourth album, Be Yourself Tonight, boasted a tougher, R&B-influenced sound and featured a duet with Aretha Franklin, “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves.” The duet became one of three hit singles from the album, in addition to “Would I Lie to You?” (number 17, U.K.; number 5, U.S.) and “There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)” (number 1, U.K.; number 22, U.S.).
