Though Touch and Sweet Dreams sold to gold/platinum on the strength of the song “Sweet Dreams”. Their fourth album (not counting the soundtrack 1984) Be Yourself Tonight went double platinum and planted them firmly in the (synth) pop genre. From this album came several singles, but ironically the single lingering on play lists and on peoples minds is their avant garde single “Sweet Dreams”. Stewart was once married to former Bananarama and Shakespear’s Sister member Siobhan Fahey. In the 70s Lennox and Stewart were a couple.
