Everything she does is magic

On this day in 1981 The Police had a huge number one hit in the UK with Every little thing she does is magic.

The also reached the top 3 in America. It was released from the critically acclaimed album Ghosts in the Machine and the song was a blend of rock and reggae.

Jean Roussel played the keyboards on the song and his previous credits included Cat Stevens and Bob Marley.

Roussel was invited by Sting to perform and the other team members Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland were not too happy but the result was a fine piece of Reggae rock.

The song was recorded in Canada and was written by Sting as early as 1976 but was finally put down on record in 1981. The song was produced as always by the band and Hugh Padgham and was released on A&M records.
