My song of the day is "An Englishman in New York" by Sting. This is about the best of his solo songs, though I have a fondness for "Love is the Seventh Wave" and accompanying vid.
I've tried to run from my "adult contemporary" leanings, but damnit, I love that uplifting world music they play when I'm shopping at a place that is my personal Mecca, Cost Plus World Imports.
Anyhow, when this song came out in 1987, I didn't realize how skillfully this song blends jazz, world music and a touch of rock. Plus Sting's voice goes down easier than a shot of good tequila or a good cuppa.
