It’s been 40 years since musical duo Eurythmics burst into the mainstream with their 1983 hit, “Candy Desires (Are Made from This),” and on Wednesday (Jan. 4), band member Annie Lennox celebrated the tune’s milestone anniversary.
“It’s virtually unimaginable to imagine that ‘Candy Desires are Made from This’ was launched forty years in the past! It has continued to journey the world and the seven seas ever since, which is a superb and miraculous story all to itself!” Lennox wrote alongside a sequence of clips from “Songs are like ships… They’ve their very own specific voyages and locations.. As soon as they’ve been launched, there’s no turning again. You simply need to comply with the journey.”
“Candy Desires (Are Made from This)” topped the Billboard Scorching 100 songs chart dated September 3, 1983, and spent 26 complete weeks on the chart. It was featured on the group’s sophomore album of the identical identify, which climbed to No. 15 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spent 59 weeks complete on the tally.
In 2020, Lennox responded to a video by Tim and Fred Williams, a set of dual brothers from Gary, Ind., who got here throughout her hit for his or her “First Time Listening to” sequence on their widespread YouTube channel TwinsthenewTrend. “Oh my GOD!!! I noticed this for the primary time a few days in the past… It’s superb from my perspective, watching these two unimaginable younger guys selecting up on Candy Desires – recorded in ’83,” she tweeted in response to the candy clip. “THAT’S the place the true energy of music lies… A bridge to the soul and mind!”
