Name : Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves Release Date : 2nd November 1985 Chart Placing : #9 (UK) #18 (US)

Notes : The 3rd track to be taken from 'Be Yourself Tonight' featuring the fine voice of Aretha Franklin. Tina Turner was first choice for the collaboration but she turned the Eurythmics down because the song was apparently too feminist in content. Released in 4 different 7/12" sleeves featuring women depicting typically male roles (armed forces, mob, racing driver) and showing the other side of the coin, the final one featured a housewife typing away at home. The B-side 'I Love You Like A Ball And Chain' was picked up and remixed as a DJ Promo.
