Throughout the late 70s and
Throughout the late 70s and early 80s THIS BAND WAS ON fire. Between the US and the UK, The Police had 14 Top 20 hits and for a while they were easily the biggest band in the world. Today we’re checking out one of their highest charting hits. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. And it almost never happened. The song was ignored by two out of the three band members for years. So the lead singer Sting finally recorded it in secret. He steamrolled them to get it on the new album Ghost in the Machine…but in the process it alienated the others namely Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers and even though it became a monster hit, the song ultimately caused a rift that ended the band. Its a compelling story about a song that the singer believed in so much he searched for the Perfect rhyme for a word in the chorus for years and the song was definitely magic … the story is NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

Hey music junkies, Professor of Rock, always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. If you had a Levi jacket with band pins all over it you’ll dig this channel of musical nostalgia Make sure to, subscribe below right now. click the bell and find out when our new videos drop.. We also have a patreon you'll want to check out where you can become an honorary producer and get more content.
So, it’s time for another edition of #1 in Our Hearts. the show that honors songs that were so unbelievably great, they absolutely should've been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. But for whatever reason, be it radio play, lack of marketing, label support or just sheer stupidity, the song came up short. On previous episodes we have covered Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar, Steppin’ Out by Joe Jackson, and My Best Friend’s Girl by The Cars.
But today we are we’re bringing you the story of a song that sat in cold storage for years, missing out on three albums in the meantime. And when it finally got it’s chance, it almost went all the way to the top. But came up just short but at the time it was the band’s biggest song and opened the door for their mega #1 that would follow. I’m talkin’ about? Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police.
So although Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic was released as the second single off The Police’s fourth album Ghost in the Machine, it’s origins actually pre-date the formation of the Police in 1977… having been written by Sting in the fall of 1976 before he moved to London and joined forces with Mike Howlett. For those of you not familiar, Mike Howlett formed the short-lived band ‘Strontium 90’ in 1977, which included the ranks of the Police… Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. Howlett performed most of the lead vocals, played bass, and was the primary songwriter. And together the foursome recorded several demos. But they disbanded when Andy left to join Stewart and Sting's “other project”, the Police. Sting recorded the demo for ‘Every Little Thing’ by himself using equipment in the loft of Howlett's home in Acton, London. Originally an acoustic ballad, it also included bass guitar, African drums and had a bossa nova style.
But try as he might, Sting couldn’t convince Copeland and Summers to cut the song for the Police. At least not for three albums anyway. Both the drummer and the guitarist were wary of the track. Especially since they wanted ‘cred’ with the London punk community. The song in their opinion was just too blasted soft. Sting was frustrated because He knew it was a hit.
So fast-forward to 1981. The Police were on the rise. They had transcended the London punk scene and were growing into a formidable band. Releasing an album per year dating back to 1978, they were steadily taking over the world of pop, rock, and new wave. From Roxanne to Message in a Bottle to Don’t stand So Close to Me, The Police released some of the most undeniably catchy songs in the late 70s and early 80s.
But Ghost in the Machine as a whole would be a radical departure from their previous offerings. Its name came from Arthur Koestler’s book of the same name, which explores the dichotomy between mind and body. Lyrically, the album was more philosophical
