The Sting and I…We had already done multiple interviews when he was in The Police and now Sting had released three solo albums, including Fall 1987’s “Nothing Like the Sun”, by the time we reconvened in 1991. Sting had lost both parents by then, the most recent  his father, and was clearly wrestling with his star ascending amidst pain and personal loss.

Starting with 1978’s “Outlandos d’Amour”,  the UK breakthrough “Regatta de Blanc”,  their 1980 worldwide hit “Zenyatta Mondatta”,  and “Ghost in the Machine” the following year, you could debate whether the first four  albums by the Anglo-American band The Police  were significant enough creatively and commercially to issue a warrant to book them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991- Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell, Ed King

Highly significant in their long, colorful history,” Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991″ was the band’s sixth studio album but, more importantly, the first new studio album since 1977’s fateful “Street Survivors”; their first since the tragic plane crash that year claimed the lives of three band members; their first to anoint original Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer Ronnie Van Zant’s youngest brother, Johnny, as their permanent singer; the return of original guitarist Ed King, And sadly, “Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991” would be the first album without original guitarist Allen Collins.
