The music should be playing soon.

I decided to Google Cheb Mami and was distrubed by what I found out about him: "Cheb Mami, an Algerian singer, has been sentenced by a French court to five years in prison for abducting his former girlfriend and attempting to force her to have an abortion."
I've never heard the full version, just the radio edit. Interesting.
I hated this song when it first came out, but somewhere along the line, I wound up loving it. I don't know how that happened.

This is one of my favorite songs from Sting.
It's a very sensual sexy ryhtmic song. Perfect
song when two people are in the middle of the heat of the
moment.
This took me back to Dubai, where I had the most wonderful experiences with the people, the music and the culture. Sting has always brought it home for me.
There are few musicians that I consider true "artists" ( Peter Gabriel is one) Sting is the other. Always evolving and reaching for the next excellence. This is a marvelous song...the music and the vocals of both Sting and Cheb Mami...it takes you to a place far from where you are sitting. Glorious.

I love this song. I listen to it while I'm doing my homework. I also listened to it when I was really nervous on a school trip to the Am. Southwest, a desert. This was a stable on the long drives to and from locations.

Man, I never knew you could play this music on this station.
It keeps getting better. You really make my day.
Sting is an incredible talent.
If this song is NOT an inspiration, not only for the people, but for the spirit itself, Then is not a song. This is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life, fallowed bi the greatest voices in the new Millenium!!! !
