"Belinda" is a 1981 music recording by the British new wave duo Eurythmics. It was the band's second single, and the second of two singles to be taken from their debut album In the Garden.
Background
[edit]The single, which was released only in the UK, was not a commercial success and failed to chart. It received some airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Radio Luxembourg, and spent two weeks as a "breaker" on the Record Business Airplay Guide chart in August 1981.[2][3] No music video was made for the single.
The song was co-produced by Conny Plank and featured members of Can, and also Robert Görl of D.A.F.
The B-side, "Heartbeat, Heartbeat" was exclusive to this single, though it was later included on the remastered version of In The Garden in 2005.
