30 years ago today the Eurythmics single Right by Your Side entered the UK charts at No. 27 before just breaking the Top 10 position a few weeks later.  It was something of a departure from previous Eurythmics songs, and is an uptempo love song which features a calypso music instrumental backdrop, complete with synthesized steel drum and marimba sounds and a horn section.

“Right by Your Side” became the fourth consecutive Eurythmics single to hit the Top 10 of the UK singles chart during 1983.  It also climbed to number 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
