cover story
Youth
It was music, not shipbuilding that called to Gordon, so he tore himself from an environment he described as 'toxic' to pursue his dreams of stardom, without the encouragement of family. He worked odd jobs and attended college to become a teacher,
while nights and weekends were for music. His skills were honed playing jazz in the
local clubs with a variety of bands and it was one of these bandleaders who thought his
black and yellow sweater made him look like a bee. So 'Sting' was born (do not call him
Gordon).
Sting told NPR that his first job was selling newspapers on the streets, "So I developed
healthy lungs. My favorite rock singer is probably Roger Daltrey from The Who."

In 1977 Sting moved to London to form a new band. Over the next
decade, as singer/songwriter and bass player, Sting would propel the Police
into the record books and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with songs like
their first hit Roxanne. Their biggest, Every Breath You Take, appeared on
their Grammy-nominated final album, Synchronicity.
The Police won a number of music awards, including six Grammy
Awards, two Brit Awards-winning Best British Group once, an MTV
Video Music Award, and in 2003 were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame.[7] Four of their five studio albums appeared on Rolling Stone's
list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The Police were included
among both Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All
Time.
