Jamaican music - reggae and ska - were strongly represented and embraced by English youth, owing in large part to well entrenched Caribbean ex-pat populations, as well as others worldwide through the mid-late 70s and after. Bob Marley and others spread the unfiltered OG goods everywhere.
The Police's fusion of punk minimalism, energy and reggae rhythms was seen as an innovative breath of fresh air, and their propensity for crafting catchy, memorable songs catapulted them to status as one of the top bands in the world for as long as they chose to continue. More progressive, jazzy and mainstream elements found their way into the mix and received little pushback from adoring fans.
I would suggest 'Walking on the Moon', 'Every Little Thing She Does...', 'Synchronicity II' and 'King of Pain' to follow up.
👏😉
Brilliant description.
@@junkyardheaven agreed.
First even album, well tape, I brought was Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus in the early 80's. Everyone I knew was into reggae and we were all as white as they come, even had a green, yellow and red arm band. Massive fan of Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs (night nurse is still one of my favorites), Steel Pulse, and UB40 of course
You nailed it in two notes.Lol!They started out as a Ska band. Jamaican/Reggae is one of their influences.The drummer Stewart Copland is known to play in the style of Reggae.High five!!!
As you said, they were heavily influenced by reggae phrasings
Walking on the Moon, Beds to Big without you, King of Pain, So Lonely so many great songs
The funniest thing about this song is that it was written as a filler-track. When they were recording this album, they were pretty much done but the record wasn't long enough so they threw this little song together in literally 20 minutes just to satisfy the terms of the recording deal and it ended up being one of their biggest hits. "Paranoid" from Black Sabbath was also created very quickly in the studio for the same reasons and is one of Black Sabbath's most popular songs.
there are actually more songs then you would think that are good that have this story. cant remember which song but theres a maroon 5 song from their first album thats the same a company made them record one more and its a good ass song. (not a super fan of later maroon 5 but that first album i love alot)
Micromanaging your art tends to diminish it
The funniest thing about this comment is that it isn’t true. Not sure where you got that myth.
the Jamaica sound come from Sting's influence from Bob Marley
It's funny with artistic personalities, often it seems when it gets to the point when the pressure is really on and they're under the gun they pop out a classic piece of work, then other times when they're just screwing around, playing, the magic happens. There's no predicting when/where it will happen.
Stewart Copeland with one of the best snare drums of all time… and Andy Summers with some of the best rhythm guitar ever
Such an iconic band! These guys and the Cars came along with this new sound, between them and Van Halen, they ended disco for me lol
You'd probably love "Message in a Bottle" by them! Great reaction! ♥️✌
Candyo would be my recommendation. Start with the older albums first 💜✨🌙👍🏼
@@bobbielemaire4024 awesome!!
I love that you mentioned the Cars, I can’t choose between the two as my favorite. My friends say my favorite band is “The Police Cars” lol.
@@Bravo-Tango the Police Cars! The ultimate band!! Take my money! 😂👍
I left home young and lived with other "misfits"- it was like the Breakfast Club, but for life lol
Our "Bender" would bring home buds & we had done the whole Pink Floyd/Wiz of Oz thing, so we started doing Cars with tv shows & you really haven't lived til you see Barney Fife losing his shit to "All Mixed Up"
A lot of the Police songs have a reggae influenced sound. “Walking on the Moon” is a great example.
Was working in a manufacturing plant when this came out.Evety single person would turn off their machines and stop working to shout "Roxanne" along with the song,which played maybe 5 times during the course of our 8 jour day shift...lol good times
"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" is another song by the Police that is fun and catchy.
Very nice reaction.These Police are the bomb!! Next should be "Every little thing she does is magic"!!!😊
I think you mean Raggae, but the singer is a blond haired, blue eyed Brit. So is the guitarist. The drummer on the other hand, is a blond haired, blue eyed American.
Classic! Everything changed after I heard this for the first time in ‘78. Heavy reggae influence
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic and Don't Stand So Close to Me...great Police songs!
Awesome choice you guys - like others have said, the Police leaned heavily on the sounds of reggae and ska, especially on their earlier albums. Sting plays a mean bass, and Stewart Copeland is a total badass on the drums, one of my all-time favourite drummers - extremely precise in his playing, with no wasted or unnecessary notes. He did a lot of composing after the band split up, including all the music for the original TV series 'The Equalizer' in the 80s. Great reaction as always, peace and love from Canada!
Roxanne from their 1st album Outlando's d'amour, the polices 2nd album was called Regatta de blanc translated from French meaning White Reggae🤔
So Lonely is a great song by The Police, I love this band, was a teenager in the 80s and heavily into them.
YEEESSSS!!!!!!
Try Don’t Stand So Close to Me by Police.
Great song
💜✨🌙👍🏼
At 1:17 in your video you'll hear a subtle piano key. Sting came in the room and accidentally hit one of the keys while he was sitting as he was waiting to start singing. You can hear a bandmate laugh, they decided just to keep it in.
Walking on the Moon! King of Pain! Message in a Bottle! Don't Stand So Close To Me. Just a few awesome Police songs!
I'm glad you like them and am looking forward to more!
Can you checkout:
Police-Every little thing she does is magic.the video was filmed in monserrat where they used the recording studio there as have others artists also there is a steel band in it.
UB40-kingston town.
Fuse odg-dangerous love the video you want for that has a man and woman in it she has her hair in braids piled up with a green dress on.
It is definitely inspired by Reggae, but Sting's natural accent is pretty much a reggae accent anyway, so it just worked perfectly.
The Police are great, another one worth checking out is Beds Too Big Without You!
The Police are Dope Af. I love the Police. Stewart Copeland is one of my Favorite Drummers
This was the Police’s first video and first hit. They had a monster hit with Message In a Bottle but I was always partial to The Bed’s Too Big Without You and Walking On the Moon. Both had the Jamaican influence.
You guys need to do Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like We Do" live on the Midnight Special. He uses the "talk box" through the guitar
Anyone else have fond memories of playing the Roxanne drinking game?🍺🍺 I only played once. Was hungover for three days after. High school for me in the in the 80's. Even reflecting on it now still gives me the shivers...and some low key nausea.
As always, thanks again for your time, it's appreciated. I love watching your channel grow! Mental hugs to you both.
in the late seventies and early '80s English bands that would be considered Punk / New Wave such as the Clash and the Police were heavily influenced by Jamaican reggae.
One of theeeee most underrated bands of the 70’s and 80’s....great stuff
The laughing at the beginning was an accident. Sting stumbled and laughed it off. The band liked it so much they kept it in the song.
Many more Police hits to do. Every little thing she does is magic, wrapped around your finger, walking on the moon, Dadododo, murder by number, don’t stand so close to me . It’s rock with reggae. He’s from england
Ever time I hear this song I see Eddie Murphy sing it in Beverly Hills cop
OMG Same! I picture Eddie Murphy in that scene every single time.
I got to see them 3 times in concert . Including their River Plate show.
The drummer, Stuart Copeland, had a dad that was likely in the CIA. His two brothers each had a record label (IRS) and a talent agency (FBI). His brother Miles was the record label who started REM, the Go-gos, Oingo Boingo, and the Bangles.
Others have given you facts about influences and such...so something anecdotal...This is the perfect Drinking Song. Take a shot every time "Roxanne" is uttered.
I saw them at Shea stadium in an awesome lineup. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and REM. Amazing show
Check out Walking on the Moon. Stewart Copeland on drums puts on a high-hat masterclass, and the song is just a fun tune that happens to also be incredibly complex, but it’s an orgasm for the ears.
My friends and I went to see the reunion of The Police back in May of 2008. Original members: Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland reunited for a tour. I remembered Sting came out onstage dressed like a tourist. Then concert went live for over 3 hours. They played all their iconic songs.....awesome concert!
Iconic band. One of their first hits of many
The guys in RUSH were big fans of The Police.
What a great song, this track was used in a drinking game my friends and I played. You have to take a mouth full of what ever you are drinking everytime you hear the word 'Roxanne' i recommend having a few drinks ready! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sting has such a cool voice! Combined with the Stewart Copland and Andy Summers they had a very cool sound.
Sting also had some great solo songs in his career, check out 'Shape of my Heart'
The police band is one of the greatest bands with the excellent STEWARD COPELAND and the excellent guitarist ANDY SUMMERS and of course STING singer and excellent bass player
Omg watching u watching music I luv is amazing and I swear u both look AMAZING TOGETHER
Well dur. It's off their first album, which was called, Regatta de blanc. White reggae.
The police based their music heavily on tagged music, that's why it has the classic beat
The Police were originally formed as a UK punk rock band in the 70's... but they quickly evolved and by their first album in 1978, The Police were part of the 'new wave' ...they incorporated reggae and funk influences to create a very unique sound. Unfortunately, they were short-lived because of conflict between the 3 members... they were friends, but couldn't be in the same band 😂
Sting (vocals & bass) went on to become a successful solo artist.
Brilliant band 👏 👌
Sting,the lead singer went solo and has had a long prestigious career since leaving the Police.
Roxanne- famous song, ever seen 48 hours with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy? Ya should check it out. I went to this movie in 1982 in North Dakota, Eddie Murphy sings this song while in jail in the movie. Which is funny because the song predates the movie by a few years. Awesome song.
Love this song! Great reaction! Yes, ska/reggae sound. A few of my favorites are "Don’t Stand So Close To Me", Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Can’t Stand Loosing You"
*The Police - Spirits In The Material World*
Stewart Armstrong Copeland was one of the greats on the drums.
The Police were such a phenomenal band, and one of the most unique to come out of their era. And yes, they were definitely heavily reggae influenced. Check out their song Can't Stand Losing You when you get a chance.
Early stuff, new wave - from the streets of England - before they later became more mainstream. Very, very talented band - especially the guitar and drum player -
The Police - So Lonely
The lead singer, Sting, used to be a teacher in the north of England. I understand he got the idea for this song from when he was teaching Drama Club. They were putting on a production, and a couple of the students were manning the lighting controls. One student couldn't help but experiment with mixing the colours, often to a detrimental effect. At one rehearsal, when she tuned an idyllic country scene into a blood-soaked nightmare, Sting could be heard to yell out, "Roxanne! You don't have to put on the red light!"
From 'Little-Known Rock and Roll Facts Vol 3"
You should watch the documentary “Under the Volcano”. The recording of this album features heavily.
you have to listen to the "syncronicity" album
Message In A Bottle!! from just a lonely castaway. it's upbeat and I swear it's probably my Favorite song, period
The BEST band that ever lived!!! 💯💯💯😎😎😎
The Police were an amazing band and heavily influenced by reggae, but you still haven't reacted to any real reggae though. If and when you do, it will definitely have to be the one and only Bob Marley to start with. Is This Love is one of his best: th-cam.com/video/CHekNnySAfM/w-d-xo.html
but almost everything he did was good. Iron Lion Zion is a completely different vibe: th-cam.com/video/FTayLS2rWMs/w-d-xo.html
Enjoying your reactions, as always.
Good catch! Lots of reggae in their music. I could name a ton of songs by them to check out but I’ll keep it short for now with these two bangers…
“Message In a Bottle” (1979)
“Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” (1981)
He does a NPR session with Shaggy. Really cool check it out.
🔥🔥
Listen to all their hits, for sure. Listen to the whole album "Regatta de Blanc" 🎧 💓 🎶
Two completely different generations of people saying "I remember cruising the streets the first time I heard Roxanne by The Police...one in real life, the other in GTA..a video game. haha, what a crazy world
Great song by the legendary Police! My favorite is Murder By Numbers check it out. It made an appearance in the thriller Copycat.
So many great hits by them!! I love de do do do do de da da da da and don't stand to close to me!
Oh one more request - the Clash's radio Clash live from New York
Walking on the moon by the police! 🔥
Sting is a geordie (from Newcastle, England)
Oh, nice catch on the Jamaican influence.
walking on the moon his good
Good song great review ....you might also like SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, one of their first hits. Then KING OF PAIN one of my favorites.
"There's a little black spot on the sun today, same ol' thing as yesterday....."
Nice. The single greatest trio of all time... with apologies to Rush.
Reggae is mostly all down strums on 🎸. Some have up . Although if you listen to rhythm guitar it's all down strokes and the chorus it changes .
U so RIGHT he was using a Jamaican vive
I think of “Reggie Hammonds” every time I hear this song lol 48 hours 💪🏽
Spirits material word is the best
You guys gotta do more police 🙏 react to "One world & Syncronicity ll ! Great reggae feel jams 👌
The Police is heavily influenced by reggae music. Stewart Copeland tuned his snare and Tom drums tight to get that reggae sound with his rhythm. Andy Summers used spiky/punk reggae licks with his guitar to mimic that genre.
Syncrisity 2 and message in a bottle also good songs 👍
Try some Jeff Healy he is a blind musician who also has acted in the film Roadhouse
I would suggest “while my guitar gently weeps” such a beautiful song
Continue the reactions just love you guys 💕
They already have.
Eddie Murphy in 48 hours singing this hysterical.
reggae is still big in the uk
I still crush on Sting.... my goodness ❤😮😅
