Their influences were punk, reggae and jazz and were super popular from the late 70’s through the 80’s and beyond… A great line-up including Sting, Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (the American, on drums/percussion). Have to say that I really liked this group back in those days, but most of their songs just don’t do it for me any more in these days. Yet, I do like some of their timeless hits like «Don’t Stand So Close to Me» and «Every Little Thing She Does is Magic«… But a phenomenal band nonetheless, they made history…
Beginning in 1979, The Police had four consecutive number 1 albums: Reggatta de Blanc (1979), with «Message in a Bottle» and «Walking on the Moon«; Zenyatta Mondatta (1980); Ghost in the Machine (1981), with «Don’t Stand So Close to Me» and «Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic«; Synchronicity (1983), which was also No. 1 in Canada, Australia, Italy and the US, selling over 8 million copies in the US. Its single «Every Breath You Take«, turned out to be their 5th UK number one, and only US number one song.
In the US The Police were thought of as the leading band of the Second British Invasion and Rolling Stone (1983) said they were «the first British New Wave act to break through in America on a grand scale, and possibly the biggest band in the world». Then in 1984 they broke up. But they do reunite every now and again…
Enjoy some of their finest tunes:

Great group. I got to see Sting play Mack the Knife in Three Penny Opera in DC years ago. He was very good and the role was rather athletic.
