Fields Of Gold: The Best Of Sting 1984 - 1994

I really don't remember the artist Sting. But I do remember his music. Especially three tracks from the CD Fields Of Gold: The Best Of Sting 1984 - 1994

Fields of Gold, Russians, and Be Still My Beating Heart hold a special place in my memory, even though I never associated them with Sting. I just happen to like the beats and lyrics.  I can just see Jim rolling his eyes and telling me for the umpteenth and just-as-futile time the songs were by Sting. Got it now Jim, but I can't promise I will remember the next time I hear the songs.

The soft rock composite of Sting songs was released in 1994 by A&M Records. Besides the three songs mentioned, it includes the following tracks:
  • When We Dance
  • If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
  • All This Time
  • Fortress Around Your Heart
  • They Dance Alone
  • If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
  • Fragile
  • Why Should I Cry For You?
  • Englishman In New York
  • We'll Be Together
  • This Cowboy Song
And Sting, it seems, is still quite the prolific artist, rocking his 57th and 9th Tour across the globe in 2017. 

Born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, Oct. 2, 1951 in Wallsend, Britain. He first gained global fame as the lead of the wildly successful Police until it disbanded in 1983, when he embarked on a solo career, throwing in some acting too. The musician and song writer has had a wonderful career.  Read all about it here.
