Nothing Like The Sun followed in 1987, topping the charts in the UK and entering the Top 10 in the US. Expanding on the sound he hit upon for ...Turtles, Sting also incorporated strains of world music into his sound. With help from former bandmate Andy Summers, plus Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Annie Lennox, Nothing Like The Sun stands as perhaps the apogee of Sting's ambitions at this point in his career: its songs flow together as a whole, creating a mood piece, rather than a collection of individual recordings.
