Sharing a birthday as he does with another ill-matched collection of notables, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Donna Karan, Jan Morris, Groucho Marx, Annie Leibovitz, Trevor Brooking, Don McLean, Rex Reed, Phil Oakey, Graham Greene, Anna Ford and Mike Rutherford...
...Mr Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting, is 70 years old today! Gulp.
His voice may never have been the most melodic, he may have an ego the size of a planet, but when I was a hormonal teen and this spiky blond pixie-like figure arrived in the "New Wave" post-punk era, my heart (and groin) went all a-flutter!
I was particularly fond of this video...
He and his (then) chums in The Police amassed a long string of classic hits in the late 70s and into the 80s and many artists, including Grace Jones, UB40 and Mika among others, covered them. However, I need no further excuse, dear reader, to play my favourite version of their first hit...
Faboo.
Many happy returns, Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE (born 2nd October 1951)!
