British Music

52nd Street was an English band formed in the 1980’s. The band made jazz-funk sounds and enjoyed success in the UK and the US.

The Police were a three-piece rock band consisting of Sting (vocals, bass guitar), Andy Summers (guitar, vocals) and Stewart Copeland (drums, percussion, vocals). The band became globally popular in the early 1980s, playing a style of rock that was influenced by jazz, punk and reggae music. The band broke up in 1984, but reunited in early 2007 for a one-off world tour lasting until August 2008, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their hit single Roxanne and also, to a lesser extent, that of their formation as a group.

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, who is known universally by his stage name Sting, is a Grammy award-winning English musician from Wallsend. Before going solo, he was the songwriter, lead singer, and bass player of the rock band The Police. Sting makes a variation of music ranging from classical to rock, pop, new wave, and even jazz, which just makes him such a versatile singer and songwriter.
