[@megdelany5688]

It really bothers me when my old favorites are mistaken for newer songs b/c they've been 'sampled' - In my opinion it's not a talent to use pieces of other group's/individual's songs & re-mix them, especially without permission or giving credit due to the original artist - It's not an introduction to older music - The younger crowd does not realize that this is the case b/c they're hearing it for the first time in a re-mix -They don't know that it's not an original work, who sang it first or who wrote it

I feel the same way about Linda Reinstate when she did Ooh Baby Baby. Smokey Robinson wrote the song and He and his group the Miracles recorded it and performed it live.

I like both versions, but Michael Jackson s version is the one most people are familiar with. Smokey Robinson wrote a lot of big hits for Motown including My Girl recorded by the temptations

When P. Diddy performed "I'll be missing you" on an MTV awards show w/ Faith Evans as a tribute to Biggie, Sting (real name Gordon Sumner) of The Police, who wrote & sang "Every breath you take" shared the stage w/ them. Sting said it was dark song about obsession, w/ themes related to Soviet government surveillance of people in the cold war era. The Police were short-lived, formed as a punk rock band in the 70's, but progressing into new wave pop. They disbanded after 1985 at the peak of their popularity... Sting has had a massive solo career since then... The Police classics: "Roxanne" ... 'Message in a bottle' ... "I can't stand losing you" ... 'Wrapped around your finger' ... 'Every little thing she does is magic' ... 🔥🔥🔥 Sting solo songs: 'If I ever lose my faith in you' ... 'Desert rose' ... 'Englishman in New York' ... 'Russians'

It’s because all stalkers have a romantic ideal of the person they are stalking. Sting had a stalker at the time, his performance is expressive and painful. Writing this song was his way of taking back control of the situation in a cathartic way. 🎙

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Sting. Produced by Hugh Padghem + The Police. Backing vocals by The Police. Guitar + piano by Andy Summers. Lead vocals, bass guitar + synth by Sting. Drums + percussion by Stewart Copeland. In 1982 - 1983, The Police, Spandau Ballet + George Martin recorded their albums near each other in The Bahamas. Spandau Ballet was on The Rise. The Police was infighting, ready to break up at any time. Police guitarist/keyboardist Andy Summers went to George Martin to help solve some infighting. That helped ... until the end of the world tour. This is what I heard from him at his book signing. 🙄 This song not only is expression of the upcoming divorce for Sting, but it also represents the infighting btw Sting + drummer/percussionist Stewart Copeland. Sting loves the 2 people, but too much tension in his relationships. Back to the songs. Spandau Ballet had True as its biggest song. The Police had the Billboard song of 1983 + Sting won Song of 1983 at The Grammys to break the streak of Michael Jackson winning so many awards. Directed by Godley + Creme. These 2 are also musicians. Suggested next Police video: Synchronicity 2. 🇺🇲🇬🇧

I’m so glad you reacted to this song! I discovered the Police in high school. Back when layaway at music stores was a thing, I paid off their master collection “Message In A Box” which included all of their recordings, even the b-sides from singles. It turned into my “stranded island” music collection (meaning I have one choice to bring with me). It’s so rich, and they had so much experimentation vetoing their hit singles. I’d love to see your reaction to their song “I Can’t Stand Losing You” vs. “Somebody I Used To Know” by Gotye. As other commenters have mentioned, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” would be a good one. That could be fun. As always, thanks for doing what you do.
