The Police History
The Police were founded by drummer Stewart
Copeland in early 1977. Copeland was anxious to
form a new three-piece group and join the
burgeoning London punk scene. Singer-bassist Sting
and guitarist Henry Padovani began rehearsing with
Copeland in January 1977, and they recorded their
first Police single, "Fall Out"/"Nothing Achieving," the
following month. In March and April, the threesome
toured as a support act for Cherry Vanilla as well as
Wayne County & the Electric Chairs.
In May, ex-Gong
musician Mike Howlett invited Sting and veteran
guitarist Andy Summers to form Strontium 90 with
him, as a project band for a Gong reunion. The
drummer Howlett had in mind for this band, Chris
Cutler, was unavailable to play, so Sting brought
along Stewart Copeland. |

An album with some of these studio and live tracks (with the first recorded version of "Every
Little Thing She Does Is Magic") was released in 1997 under the name Strontium 90: Police
Academy. The foursome also performed at a London club as "The Elevators" in July 1977. In
July 1977 Copeland, Sting, Padovani, and Summers began performing as a four-piece version
of the Police. Padovani's relatively limited ability as a guitarist meant that his tenure in the band
was short, and soon after an aborted recording session with producer John Cale on August
10, Padovani left the band and Summers took over sole guitar duties. This lineup of Copeland,
Sting, and Summers would endure for the rest of Police history. Sting proved to be a capable
songwriter. He had previously spent time as a secondary school English teacher, and his lyrics
are noted for their literary awareness and verbal agility. Material in the later album Ghost In The
Machine was inspired by the writings of Arthur Koestler, and material in Synchronicity was
prominently inspired by the writings of Carl Jung. "Tea in the Sahara" on the latter album
showed interest in the work of author Paul Bowles as well. The Police, along with The Clash,
are notable as one of the first mainstream white bands to adopt reggae as a predominant
musical form, and to score major international hits with reggae-styled material. |

. Although ska and reggae were already very popular in the United Kingdom, the style was little known in the United States or other countries. Prior to the emergence of the Police, only a handful of reggae songs — such as Eric Clapton's 1974 cover rendition of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" — had enjoyed any significant chart success. The bleached blonde hair that would become a trademark of the band was a lucky accident, occurring before they cut their first album. The band, desperate for money, was asked to do a commercial for Wrigley's Spearmint chewing gum on the condition that they dye their hair blonde. |
