		Annie Lennox Aberdeen's most famous daughter originally aimed to be a classically trained flautist until she was led astray by the sounds of Tamla Motown. Following a stormy professional (and, briefly, personal) relationship with Dave Stewart in the Tourists and Eurythmics, she released two platinum selling solo albums. She now lives in semi-retirement in New York.
