I did a search on Google for "adventures in success" + sting, and as far as I could see, you are absolutely right about everything you wrote! I was also able to find the track using WinMX, but it is really not very good, and Sting/Palmer do not perform on it (as far as I can hear...). On another note, I checked the section on Sting on www.allmusicguide.com, and under "See also" there was a link to Bernard Sumner... Are they related? I found an interview with Bernard Sumner where he was asked that question, and he said Sting was his "great grandfather"... But I presume that was a joke :-) Judging from the picture they could very well be related, and why else would he be listed under Sting? Mikkel On 16 Aug 2002 at 17:37, your sequin baby wrote:

it's called "Adventures in Success" and I'm not sure I've ever seen it mentioned in *anything* about Sting I've read...

Now I've not ever heard this either - though I have heard OF it. As I recall, it was co-written by Sting and Lynn Goldsmith (the photographer - she did a book of photos on the Police). A friend of her's, recorded it under the name Will Powers. I *think*

It somewhat concerns me that I can remember this much, yet not know how the Hell I know it. I must seen it in print somewhere along the line. I also seem to recall that Sting did something with the band Reflex (of "Politics of Dancing" fame). Who knows? Anyone? Anyone?
