There are two singers in my life, whose voice accompanied romantic and special moments of my youth, two voices I will never forget because they belong to the Spring of my life and that is something you cannot live without remembering.
Those two singers are John Lennon and Sting.
Of course I loved the Beatles and The Police , but both groups came as something on the background of them.
How similar the voices and how different the melodies and the persons.
John Lennon was the mask of a weak and tortured man, while Sting was the strong idealist who was able to involve you in his goals and interests.
But both, in their own personal way were creative genius who had the talent and the courage to embody their personality in unforgettable songs.
Nevertheless could John Lennon reach popularity without The Beatles and Sting without The Police ?
Both share two moments of my life and the evolution of my tastes and love for music.
Both belong to the context of the era they dominated, and that shaped them: the sixties and the eighties.
How different and in the same time how close one group to the other, as if the second was the natural evolution of the first.
And how similar the story of the groups.
The Beatles never came back together, while The Police, never formally breaking up, after Synchronicity, decided to concentrate on solo projects. As the years went by, the band members, particularly Sting, increasingly dismissed the possibility of reforming. In 2007, however, the band reformed and announced a world tour and will release a 30 track double-disc CD, in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2007. The 30 track greatest hits collection will mark 30 years since The Police released their first single Fall Out in 1977.
