I think the first song I remember as a kid was Every Little Thing She Does, but Roxanne was definitely in the top 3 first songs I remember hearing as a kid in elementary school. lol Best part about Roxanne was that I had no idea why she was putting on the red light. Such innocence! lol By the time I was in my first semester of my Freshman year at uni, I had Dream of the Blue Turtles on repeat. Sting's voice has been like a soundtrack playing throughout my life. Oddly, I've only seen him perform live once, and he made the Meadowlands Stadium in NJ feel like a small, intimate venue. I've seen dozens of bands and solo artists perform all over the US, but I've never quite seen any one person quietly and subtly command an entire sports arena of people the way Sting did. That was his Fields of Gold tour, and he was spectacular. Never got to see the Police perform, as Synchronicity was their last tour and they never returned from their "sabbatical" during that tour.
It's not that life is too short or too long...it's that there's no such thing as the past or the future...the only thing that's real is this moment. One day you're a baby, the next you're an old man.
I worked for Sting when he started the Rainforest Foundation in LA, 1990. The experience was an honor and a pleasure that transformed my life... He is as kind and generous as he is talented. Many more birthdays to you, beloved Sting!
Same here! I am 100% sure he is touched with something spiritual because of the way he has been able to convay his music for so many decades now and it just lifts our spirits listening to it. I know he went and studied all different cultures of music from all over the world so I am sure he was enlightened by that experience! He is 70!? Holy crap! He looks great!!!
I've followed this man's career from his early days with The Police to his solo career. Much admiration for this man. I was lucky enough to have met him quite a few years ago. He came to Toronto to promote the movie he was in with Denholm Elliot called Brimstone and Treacle. My friend won tickets to go see the show and there were only 100 people there. Afterwards, they had an exclusive party at a club for all who were there. It was an amazing night because Sting jammed with the house band and they did quite a few Police tunes. He was so kind that in between sets he would come by and chat to everyone. He came by my friend's and my table and stopped and politely introduced himself, shook our hands and spoke to us for about 10 minutes. He was a gentleman and god knows how much my friend and I adored the Police. It was a wee bit intimadating to speak to him, but he was so kind. I'll always have a soft spot for this great singer, songwriter and film actor/director...producer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Sting and man many more.
I got to see Sting with The Police at Hollander Stadium, Rochester, NY, back in the 70s. Best concert I've ever been to. We're the same age. So many gifts of great music over the years from this rock god! Many more birthdays, Sting! 🌟👑🌟
@@MAAivoges Wow, didn't know Sting sang in Portuguese. That is such a fantastic language. I love Milton Nascimento's music. My friend who lived in Brazil played this for me and told me that my favorite song from him sung in Porguguese is about seagulls that fly free! I love how Sting speaks to people in the language wherever he is traveling..and his incorporation of music from different parts of the world. I especially love when Sting has been accompanied by Cheb Mami whose voice sings directly into my soul.
Yep, like it seems everyone else posting, Sting and his Police partners changed my outlook on music back then. Just a great musician and presence, changed the music world!
Sting never ceases to amaze me. If I were a musician and I performed on his level, this is the kind of music I would play. Tremendous musician and performer.
Have you seen his life in Italy. He's no Simpleton. He's in his own built paradise. I'm sure still doing lots of yoga too. Happy Birthday Sting. He's certainly blessed with that voice, drive and being in love.
Please embrace your fragility, it's a precious human thing - shows us how to be compassionate. It's 25 years since I saw my beloved mum. Love never dies, it stays with you forever.
Found him first in Quadrophenia, followed him with the Police, died when they split, but was thrilled when he went solo. A true singer/songwriter, a great bass man, and an awesome guitarist.
So Multi Talented & to think & stop & disband the number 1 Band globally in '84 & start a solo career with All Black Jazz Musicians & pull it off & make it work took a lot guts & charisma, Love Sting
What an amazing "coincidence". Watching now this performance on UA-cam from his concert in Athens my home town. First time I heard this song was in the car of a fellow musician back in 1988. 33 years ago! His music and humanity has made a huge difference in keeping our little planet spinning and has inspired for greatness millions of people. Happy Birthday dear Sting!
Ein toller Künstler der seine Kraft aus der Liebe zur Musik schöpft und seine Erfüllung im Leben gefunden hat.Alles Gute zum Geburtstag viel Glück in der neuen freien Welt. 🧘♀️🕯🕊🧘♀️🎂🍾🥂💚👏
Born a poet, will always a poet. Happy birthday, your ,songs have awakened me in such a profound way.. god bless you with so many more blessings Sting.
This is my favorite song and this song is timmles piece of music is one of the best ever written and recorded and it is beyond beautiful. 🎼🎶🎸🎤💯👏Love and greetings from Aleksandra, Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷❤️😊
I was blessed to hear him and Stevie Wonder in Seattle. So much wisdom, musical talent, humor and kindness. What a privilege and honor to experience these quintessentially gifted musicians!
the journey continues in finer, more sensitive nuances ~ a absolutely magnificent rendition and then the setting the accompaniment the total scene the last stringed notes WOW SJOE!! (Happy Happy!!)
How cool is that! A pair of jeans, your guitar and the intact and great voice moving hearts with your music on your 70th birthday!! Happy birthday Mr. Sting!!
Yes … indeed time has moved us forward .. seemingly in the blink of an eye.. when you have become of an age when all of the great musicians have begun leaving … their lives finished and going to the beyond, I think still their music will live on even they do not… so many beautiful voices and music I could listen to for eternity… Happy Birthday and God willing many more .. ❤
Omg, life-long wish I have to see this guy in concert in a colosseum setting. Good God, the lighting, the clouds above, the ambiance. Damn, glad you captured this moment.
Happy belated b-day! I remember when this song was released. I was in college. Sting’s music spoke to me and still speaks. This song is so true, how fragile we are.
Thank you for this video. I just celebrated my 71st birthday...in a less grander way 🤣🤣 Sting can sing, write, and now have fun in "Only Murders In The Building", now that's lasting talent.
Happy Birthday Mr. Sting! You are so talented as an artist/vocalist/organizer of talents. Watching your interviews I have found you to gracious, cognizant man with an honoring presence. It has been a great diversion from the negativity that is happening. You share similar wonderful qualities of my dearest friends that I chose in my own life because of their abilities to see realities , act on it with constructiveness, and demonstrate their sincere respect and proactive compassion towards others for a healthier safer imprint. Creativity brings so much more energy than destruction. These qualities translate in every language and culture; and why you have touched so many, including me. I am excited for you, your new songs/projects and hope to catch a concert when my circumstances allow. Enjoy this moment. Enjoy your loved ones.
I have been a Police fan since day one. I have loved Sting since. I've been to so many of his concerts I met him personally at a book signing he was so nice. I was lucky enough to see The Police reunion three times. Sting is forever his music his lyrics are timeless. Thank you thank you thank you Sting happy 70th birthday you look awesome 😎 God bless. ❤️
Очень уважаю этого человека и очень люблю музыканта Стинга. Безупречный стиль и великолепная подача музыкального материала. Великолепный вкус. Что сказать, настоящий великий музыкант . Мечтаю побывать на его концерте.
Sting you are brilliant you're an inspiration to all of us I have never forgotten you at live aid all those years ago I want my own TV wow you have given us some very special memories Happy Birthday to you Sting
From being a kid listening to Roxanne to seeing Sting on his 70th birthday, all seems to have passed in the blink of an eye, life is so short
I think the first song I remember as a kid was Every Little Thing She Does, but Roxanne was definitely in the top 3 first songs I remember hearing as a kid in elementary school. lol Best part about Roxanne was that I had no idea why she was putting on the red light. Such innocence! lol

@@HigherPlanes that's exactly right
I worked for Sting when he started the Rainforest Foundation in LA, 1990. The experience was an honor and a pleasure that transformed my life... He is as kind and generous as he is talented. Many more birthdays to you, beloved Sting!
Did u call him Sting or Gordon?
Lucky you! Thanks for sharing.
Happy birthday
Always good to know your heroes are who you hope them to be.
@@sheilaleano9942 Probably Sir or Mr Sumner
I've been listening to Sting ever since he was originally with The Police and I was a kid. I'm a lot older now but Sting is eternal.
Ghost in the machine decent album
Same here! I am 100% sure he is touched with something spiritual because of the way he has been able to convay his music for so many decades now and it just lifts our spirits listening to it. I know he went and studied all different cultures of music from all over the world so I am sure he was enlightened by that experience! He is 70!? Holy crap! He looks great!!!
Same here. He is an Ashtanga and Jivimukti yogi... he discovered yoga later in life... this is what a yogi looks like. Love him .. such an Inspiration
Yes
He was in the Police! Didn't know that. What was his role?
Hard to believe he's 70, sure doesn't look his age! One of the best musicians of all time! Love his music!!
Looks 75 to me
As a fellow Libra he's my forever crush. One of only a few performers I paid to see in concert and who's CD's I bought. And bought a concert T.
@@MarkinDallas1 can't *wait* to see what you look like at 70.
@Tracey Like Sting no doubt…
My first ‘big’ crush, when I was 16 & he 28!! Where did those years go?
How can Sting be 70?! Not possible. We need more time with my favorite solo artist of all time.
He'll make it past 100.
Stays pretty healthy except for eating Pig flesh.
If he was born 70 years ago there's every chance its possible.
He’s the same age as his contemporaries like Phil Collins who has aged far more rapidly due to …..lifestyle issues!!
@@knownpleasures What lifestyle issues are you referring to?
Stevie Wonder is 71?! How is that??
I've followed this man's career from his early days with The Police to his solo career. Much admiration for this man. I was lucky enough to have met him quite a few years ago.

Incredible. Sounds like an amazing night.
Grateful to having been touched by his music & words 🦋🌟🌹🙏🎶♥️
Lovely ! Great memory !!
What an amazing experience, Great story
How fragile we are....let there be everlasting peace amongst all nations of this world.

He looks amazing at 70, and he's got to be one of the coolest guys on the planet...love his music!!
And still sexy
My husband and I used to listen to this album more than 30 years ago. My husband is 71 now , So the same generation as Sting . HAPPY BiRTHDAY Sting.
I know. I bought the cassette tape to this song. I used to listen to it all the time. Loved it in Portuguese. my favorite version.
Keep listening ! xx

I was never the biggest sting fan but always listened to his music! Until I went to see him in concert and was blown away! A great artist 👏👏👏
Same thing happened to me 👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This timeless piece of music is one of the best ever written and recorded…beyond beautiful
Sting never ceases to amaze me. If I were a musician and I performed on his level, this is the kind of music I would play. Tremendous musician and performer.
Same,yes me tooo!
I’m 73 ; ….minutes,months and years flash by. Music gets me through. Will always enjoy sting’s music.
That I would live like this - at 70 years old... in jeans with a guitar... that's cool! Be healthy! Thanks from Siberia!
Privet.
Two more years, that'll be me - jeans, guitar ... totally unknown!
Have you seen his life in Italy. He's no Simpleton. He's in his own built paradise. I'm sure still doing lots of yoga too.
Happy Birthday Sting.
He's certainly blessed with that voice, drive and being in love.
@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR think he owns 7 houses and alot of land. Has a ton of people to keep his properties
Jeans name him look like he works or something, or has Something with the common man. really he is an elite
My late mom's birthday..first one in heaven..and I'm still fragile.. thx Sting 💜
Bless you…Lost mine 10 years ago next month and miss her everyday ❤️
Please embrace your fragility, it's a precious human thing - shows us how to be compassionate. It's 25 years since I saw my beloved mum. Love never dies, it stays with you forever.

There are musicians.... Then there are artists.
Thank you sir for playing and honoring us.
His music is timeless❤️
Hi Diane💐💐
Found him first in Quadrophenia, followed him with the Police, died when they split, but was thrilled when he went solo. A true singer/songwriter, a great bass man, and an awesome guitarist.
Love him in Quadrophenia. True talent ❤️
Yeah, but if you make it big in music it’s much more lucrative than law enforcement. BTW, what’s his last name?
@@RK807 Sumner ;)
So Multi Talented & to think & stop & disband the number 1 Band globally in '84 & start a solo career with All Black Jazz Musicians & pull it off & make it work took a lot guts & charisma, Love Sting
С днем рождения, Стинг! Спасибо за 🍀прекрасные песни и творческое долголетие! 😍
I've seen Sting 3 times in concert. Every time it was a real treat. What an artist he is. One of my top artist ever. Respect.
Love Sting....Happy Birthday...life begins again at 70...more creation of your wonderful 🎵🎶🎵
BEAUTIFUL setting for a Sting concert.
Sting ! What I should say ? Probably one of the greatest musician of our times. I love his music so much. Happy 70th Birthday , Master !
One of the prettiest & most haunting songs, ever. Love Sting.

Perfection. An incredible sound. His voice, the instrument he plays, the lyrics - stunningly moving. 💗
There is only One Sting🙏💋❣️🤙🏾☮️🎵🎶❤️🌎
And you think this is incredible…. And what is more he looks a complete mess….I am old enough to remember real music and artists.
I have no words for the talent in this artist. My musical knowledge is too little but I can feel what genius this is.
But all his music is wonderful..Darling Sting..X
Fields of Gold is my fave i love to sing this beauty myself..
Indeed, how fragile we are, ALL love and blessings always 💜❤️, Sting

He was awesome in Dune, I listened to him during basic training in the 80s you don't picture people like sting getting old it just doesn't feel right.

He gets better with age. Always loved him ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I Love You Sting! I cannot believe your age, you Mr Sting are incredible ❤️💕💓❣️💖🥰
