Xampled: the Police

Stewart Copeland and Sting (b. Gordon Sumner) formed the Police in 1977. Released in the fall of 1978, Outlandos D'Amour began a slow climb into the British Top 10 and American Top 30. Preceded by the number one British single "Message in a Bottle," Regatta de Blanc (fall 1979) established the group as stars in England and Europe. Zenyatta Mondatta, released in the fall of 1980, became the Police's North American breakthrough. The Police returned in the summer of 1983 with Synchronicity, a blockbuster success on the strength of the ballad "Every Breath You Take". After the Synchronicity tour, the band basically split for solo projects.
