https://youtube/watch?v=A7GRvp-OUDw Englishman in New York is a song by English artist Sting, from his 1987 album ...Nothing Like the Sun. The song was released as the third single of album in 1988, but only reached #51 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] In the US, Englishman in New York peaked at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1988.[2] The song reached #32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart that same month.[3] Branford Marsalis played soprano saxophone on the track and Manu Katche the percussion. However, Englishman in New York was a hit in 1988 in several European countries,[4] reaching the Top 40 (and sometimes the Top 20) in France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, etc. In 1990, just prior to the release of his third studio album The Soul Cages, Stings record label licensed Dutch DJ and producer Ben Liebrand to remix Englishman in New York and subsequently released it as a single. The remix played around with the introduction and some of the instrumentation, but the essence of the song remained the same. The new version was commercially successful, reaching number 15 in the UK charts in mid-1990.[5]
