Sting's "We'll Be Together" wins MTV Music Video award 1988

Sting's official video for We'll Be Together won an MTV Music Video award for Best Cinematography September 7, 1988 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California.  His wife Trudie Styler appeared in the video with him. It was nominated for Best Choreography (the dancer in the nautical hat is sexy af!), but lost to Janet Jackson's The Pleasure Principle, which was choreographed by the same  guy, Barry Lather.

We'll Be Together was the first single (and my favorite song) released from his second studio album ...Nothing Like the Sun.  Eric Clapton played electric guitar, Branford Marsalis on saxophone and Annie Lennox provided some of the background vocals.

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.
