Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"During the 1980s, when pop icons like Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, and U2 reigned supreme, many regarded The Police as the biggest band in the world. Yet after only five albums and at the peak of their popularity The Police disbanded and
Sting
began a solo career that made him a global pop star. Today, artists from Puff Daddy to Gwen Stefani credit The Police and
Sting
as major influences on their own work, reflecting that The Police were not only a popular, polished rock act, but a powerfully influential one as well. In
Sting
and The Police: Walking in Their Footsteps, Aaron J. West explores the cultural and musical impact of Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers, and
Sting
. West details the distinctive hybrid character of The Police s musical output, which would also characterize
Sting
s post-Police career.
Sting
s long-lived solo career embodies the power of the artful appropriation of musical styles, while capitalizing on the modern realities of pop music consumption. The Police and
Sting
in particular were pioneers in music video, modern label marketing, global activism, and the internationalization of pop music.
Sting
and The Police: Walking in Their Footsteps will interest more than just fans. By placing the band within its various musical, cultural, commercial, and historic contexts,
Sting
and The Police: Walking in Their Footsteps will appeal to anyone interested in global popular music culture."--From publisher.
