Sting releases "...Nothing Like the Sun" 1987



Sting released his second solo album ...Nothing Like the Sun, October 13, 1987.  Rolling Stone magazine listed it as one of the 100 Best  Albums of the Eighties.  It won Best British Album at the 1988 Brit Awards and received 3 Grammy nominations including Album of the Year.  The second single, Be Still My Beating Heart was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.  It lost to Bobby McPherin's Don't Worry. Be Happy both times.  WTF?

In the U.S., the album went double-platinum.

This is my favorite song and video from the album: We'll  Be Together.
