From Wiki: The Police lead singer Sting wrote the song inspired by the prostitutes he saw near the band's seedy hotel in Paris, France, where the Police were lodged in October 1977 to perform at the Nashville Club. The song's title comes from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer.[9] Sting had originally conceived the song as a bossa nova, although he credits Police drummer Stewart Copeland for suggesting its final rhythmic form as a tango. During recording, Sting accidentally sat down on a piano keyboard in the studio, resulting in the atonal piano chord and laughter preserved at the beginning of the track.[10] As a nod to the gaffe, Sting is credited in the liner notes for playing "butt piano."

[@robinjohnston24]

There's a fair bit of music from around that time that was directly influenced by the young musicians of the time growing up in areas with Caribbean communities and hearing that kind of music.

[@NoName-tn1ut]

The Police were a Punk and New Wave band, they were just inspired by Reggae like all the Other Punk Band extract of an interview about So Lonely : "People thrashing out three chords didn't really interest us musically. Reggae was accepted in punk circles and musically more sophisticated, and we could play it, so we veered off in that direction. I mean let's be honest here, 'So Lonely' was unabashedly culled from 'No Woman No Cry' by Bob Marley & The Wailers. Same chorus. What we invented was this thing of going back and forth between thrash punk and reggae. That was the little niche we created for ourselves." - Sting, Revolver 4/2000

Stewart Copeland's drumming on this track is a revelation. I read a critic once describe it as "implosive." Sting's iconic vocal is genius, conveying the pain of a poor couple enduring by whatever means necessary. Guitarist Andy Summers turns the traditional reggae guitar back-beat on its head. Fantastic in every respect.

Early Police is very reggae. At least one of their classic hit songs “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” was recorded as a reggae song in the 70s and then again as a pop rock song in the 80s.

Good catch on how "saving" Roxanne is a bad idea. A lot of Police songs are sung from the perspective of someone who does NOT have their shit together. In the late 70s England, basically ska/reggae and punk were all that was on the radio. A label exec flat out told them they were too good on their instruments to make it big.

[@tdsims1963]

[@Guildofarcanelore]

I saw sting in Darien Lake. I won the chance to go to the sound check. Sting was incredibly charming and invited people up to sing. One woman, a music teacher came up and sang a duet with him. He quipped that he had been a music teacher but couldn’t afford it, so became “a rockstar instead” and later dedicated the song to “the new friend I made this afternoon”. Classy guy

[@philiposm]

Tea in the Sahara is one of my favs from them but isn’t necessarily one of their big hits. I guess it’s more of a deep album cut. The story and the whole atmosphere of the song have always been very impactful to me. It’s a sad and melancholy yet beautiful at the same time.

[@dennisdickson6210]

Lex is hitting on the fusion aspect. They are rooted in jazz and actually came from the punk music scene. Great band.

[@gizmoitus]

Lex totally got it, first listen: Reggae & Jazz were the main influences for the band, in fusing elements of punk and rock. In the 70's there was an explosion of Reggae and Ska influences particularly in London, where the Police were formed. Sting wrote most of the songs, but they were a 3 piece and every member of the group brought something to the arrangement. The drummer, Stewart Copeland is an american who studied percussion from his boyhood, and would meet Sting and the guitar player Andy Summers in London. Stewart's older brother Miles, founded IRS records, which was one of the most influential record companies of the era. IRS signed many influential ska and punk influenced bands: The Go-go's, R.E.M. and Fine Young Cannibals to name a short list of many. With those contacts, and with Miles Copeland managing them, the Police became the best known of the many ska influenced bands of the era. They released 5 albums total, every one of which had giant radio hits on it. Roxanne was from their debut album Outlandos d'Amour. By the time they released their 5th album Synchronicity, they were the biggest band in the world, and then they essentially disbanded, as Sting went solo backed by some of the best known jazz session musicians. The band reunited and did a 30th anniversary tour in 2007-2008, which was quite good, but it is doubtful there will be another one given the tensions between Copeland and Sting.
