KoM, 16 years
And this blog is 16 years old.
To celebrate this anniversary, I chose "Reggatta de Blanc". It is one of the most amazing songs of the band Police. It is the result of some jamming practiced in the middle of extended versions of "Can't Stand Losing You" during concerts. It was recorded as a song and included in the Police's second album and giving it its title, supposedly meaning White Reggae.
Here they are, the Police, playing it in the middle of "Can't Stand Losing You", 1stly in 1979 and 2ndly in 2007, in a video recorded by me.

Don't Care before Roxanne
So, it looks like before Roxanne, there was Don't Care!
Stewart Copeland had this one-member "band" that had one hit before Roxanne. The similarities in the chorus between the two songs are evident, just as there are many resemblances between this song and other early songs from The Police!
As usual, be my guest and watch all this delicious interview or conversation in the words of Rick Beato, when you can.
