Despite having a massive career that has spanned many decades, international singer Sting believes he owes quite a bit of his success to Jamaica.
"There's a certain debt I have to pay to this island because of its influences in my music," Sting told THE WEEKEND STAR.
The English singer, musician and actor recalled that he wrote one of his biggest hits, Every Breath You Take, while in Jamaica.
"I wrote it in St Ann, while at Golden Eye. The song was fully inspired by being here, and that's been something that makes me want to give back to the island, and I have always hoped to be able to do it," he said.
But that is not his only memory of Jamaica, as he did Another Pyramid with Sly and Robbie for an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. It was one of two songs the other being Love Changes Everything.
The opportunity never showed itself for the rock and roll legend to perform on the island before now. The same story goes for collaborating with Shaggy, even though they have performed on stage together in Antwerp in 2004.

Of course Oracabessa is the last town in St Mary on the border with St Ann but folks are usually accurate about this one. 
it's not alright for him to sing that song with the line, "The children of England would never be slaves" in a place where african's were made slaves hundreds of years ago by the English.
