Sting- The Soul Cages

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 his solo "The Soul Cages", 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.

Police- Zenyatta Mondatta- Sting, Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland

It seems that stardom for The Police had occurred in the UK after the release of their second album, "Reggatta de Blanc" , but mainstream popularity in the U.S. still eluded them until October 1980's "Zenyatta Mondatta". My guests In the Studio are Police-men Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers for "Zenyatta Mondatta".

The Police- Reggatta de Blanc- Sting, Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers

"Outlandos d'Amour'  has a certain grotesque, naïve charm about it," Sting offers in this interview about the second album by The Police, "but 'Reggatta de Blanc'  is infinitely a better record." Both the critics and the rock audience agreed, garnering two #1 hits in the UK with "Walking on the Moon" and "Message in a Bottle", plus topping the album sales chart there with "Reggatta de Blanc".

The Police- Ghost in the Machine 45th- Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers

By the time October 1981 's fourth Police album "Ghost in the Machine"  was dispatched, the exposed roots and influences shown by the London-based trio founded by Yankee drummer Stewart Copeland, who had emerged from the dying embers of the Punk Rock scene there, were more Miles and Mingus than Johnny Rotten. "Ghost in the Machine" topped the UK sales chart, #2 on Billboard  album chart, over three million copies sold in America alone, and Rolling Stone  magazine ranking it at #322 on their Top 500 Albums of All Time list. Police commissioner Stewart Copeland and six-string sharpshooter Andy Summers are your personal Ghost...busters with me here In the Studio in this classic rock interview.
