Still blows me away how awesome this is even 35 years later.

I remember watching that performance LIVE in 1984. Let me tell you, middle America in that year could NOT handle it. I thought it was truly brilliant. Thanks for posting it. I lost the VHS of it along the way.

My parents were watching the Grammys that night and the Eurythmics were completely unknown here then. Mom said 'he' was very good-looking and taped the song! lol The next morning the Today show was showing Grammy highlights and Dad took infinite delight in learning that Mom's inamorata was named
'Annie'!! LOL
So for years whenever Lennox was on tv he would call,"Hey Bo, your boyfriend is on."
And Mom would say wistfully,"She should've been born a boy."
This ^ ^ ^ is fantastic.

Yes, perhaps the best Grammy performance ever?

This performance is so adorable!!! Only Annie had the balls to do something like this in the 80´s!

I was 11 years old when this aired and I remember just thinking "Huh? What the...?" I think the Grammys are still in shock. In hindsight, there is absolutely no one who can do gender-bending and androgyny quite as well and with style and panache as Annie Lennox, Grace Jones, Tilda Swinton and David Bowie. This is true art.

I ABSOLUTELY REMEMBER seeing this live (on TV)! I was watching the Grammys with my Mom (still with us, thankfully) and right at the beginning I think, The Eurythmics were introduced, and I said to my Mom, "The lead singer, Annie Lennox is quite striking - short spiky red hair, but very pretty and a GREAT singer. I wonder if she'll wear a wig?" Suddenly, I see what looks like Elvis in Johnny Cash's clothes, and I said "Omigod! She looks like Elvis!" And my Mom said, "That's a WOMAN?" (Yup. Quite)

I remember seeing this when it was on TV and never forgot her riveting performance! I thought it was just genius for her to do this and the way she moves is totally mesmerizing! She totally rocks in this!

I distinctively remember watching this live on television in 1984. I remember being confused because I knew who Annie Lennox was and I had no idea this was her. I had just learned about Elvis Presley 2 years before and thought this was either him or an impersonator. When my dad told me this was Annie Lennox I was REALLY confused.

Thumbs up for the electric violin/guitar! It was amazing to see John Denver at the end. He is my favorite.

Love this so much. She reminds me of a female Bowie.

Annie Lennox singing Sweet Dreams dressed as Elvis.
PRICELESS

What a perfect and stylish performance. After all these years it still baffles me.

One of the greatest live performances on that boring show. Of course Annie sings live... She is great!

Love it! Annie and Dave had created sounds and instruments unlike anything I've ever seen or heard! I always loved watch Dave play these instruments as Annie's power voice and beautiful, hypnotic eye's and a unique look that they both shared with the world! They didn't care what others thought! They fought and sacrificed so much to create and express their art to the very top of the charts! Truly amazing and talented, strong artist that inspired me in my own art. I'd be drawing, sketching all the time while listening to their albums I had to have! The very albums that I refused to sale or rid myself of! So many precious memories. I miss the 80's 90's! I miss the music, how musicians expressed themselves freely. So many different choices! I'm still waiting the the next garage band to punch a hole in today's music!

I remember this. It was so cool. Back when the Grammy's were worth watching.
