July 10, 2019 | Josh Rogosin -- Sting and Shaggy might not be the most likely musical pairing. But one thing is certain, they love playing each other's music. On a bright autumn morning, the legends arrived at the NPR Music office bleary-eyed yet excited to play for the diverse staff of Shaggy and Sting fans. What surprised many of my NPR colleagues is just how well the collaboration works.
Their success as a duo shouldn't come as a total shock. After all, pulsing through many Police songs (Sting's famed band of the '70s and '80s) is a Reggae backbeat. It's impossible not to hear the influence in classics like "Walking On The Moon" and "So Lonely."
Shaggy (zoinks! - his nom de guerre comes from the Scooby-Doo cartoon character) was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He moved to New York when he was 18 and his music evokes only good vibes. The positive energy he brought to their opening song, "Englishman [and Jamaican] In New York," had everyone in the room grinning ear to ear, "early morning Reggae style," as he put it. After the tune, Sting announced "I never sang that song before 8 PM... Ever!"
Sting's familiar, raspy voice was accompanied by his battered 1957 Fender Precision bass he's plucked for over 25 years. His long-time guitarist and collaborator, Dominic Miller, strummed Reggae offbeats on acoustic guitar and co-wrote the hauntingly beautiful "Shape Of My Heart." That song is mashed-up with Juice Wrld's "Lucid Dream," sung by Gene Noble, offering a refreshing counter to Sting's nuanced melody.
Shaggy affectionately refers to his collaborator as "Stingy," putting his arm around him mid-performance. It's easy to see the comradery that being on the road together affords these veteran musicians, to say nothing of the breath of fresh air they bring to each other's music.

Whoever paired Sting and Shaggy together is a genius.
Yup
I'm almost sure it was marijuana that brought that gem to us.
Agreed , I'm hook on tiny desk performance's and these cats are amazing , an to think, I just until recently found out about these performances...... dam shame.
True dat!! Nuff said
I’m pretty sure Sting’s early stuff was ska and reggae.
Sting and shaggy is the collaboration that no one asked for, but we are all glad happened

No one asked for ?? F off it’s brilliant
Man this version of “English Man In New York” is the best version I’ve heard. I love this stuff… good job Sting
I like Ren's version but this was really good.
X2
Butchered the original
Good job Shaggy too!
Amazing! ❤
That backup singer combo was just incredible. Dude killed the chorus on the mashup.
I don't think I've ever seen an artist cover someone's sampled version of their song before. Pretty remarkable.
it was impressive
the guy backup singer was out of tune pretty much the entire time
@@keegan2402 white people when melismatic singing exists
For real the backup singers were freaking amazing
I used to be a fan, but after this masterpiece I'm a whole air conditioner
A 10 Ton AC unit!
I used to be a typo but after Jef Blomme, i'm a whole comment
Okay this cracked me up
LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like that! 😀
I think this comment is on every Tiny Desk but NPR’s sound mixer is a beast. One hell of a job mixing that bass, not too loud but not too quiet either. Blends in really good with the voices. Love your work whoever you are.
Very good indeed. An inspiration for me as a mixer myself.
Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin
Maximilian Gallant You’re the man, Josh!
This is epic !!!
Dude's name is Josh Rogosin (see credits)
Clear as a studio album. Technician is a true craftsman.
So so true.
Maybe even better. Amazing.
Every time I watch this video… I thank for living in the same planet where people like these live, that know how to touch other’s heart with their own art. This is more than just simple playing and singing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it sounds like two friends singing in a bar, having fun, drinking beers talking about good old time... smooth and natural! thanks NPR!
Smooth and natural.... exactly..
No matter how famous or rich musicians become in their careers, in the end, they still just love to jam like all the rest of us…awesome
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔👍
Just Sting and shaggy cuz the other one next to Sting is like angry
Man, the backup vocalists are so incredible
so crazy
I agree 👌👌😁
Dude, that guy it's out of tune almost the whole show
@@MSantanaT1 Maybe you're right, I don't know about this stuff. I only know that his singing was very beautiful
For real, great back up singers make it 100000000x better, those harmonies are on point!
Englishman in New York done acoustically with stings just sheer brilliance and shaggy added, just incredible didn’t think the song could get any better
Dorothee ❤
Shaggy holding down the bass harmony on shape of my heart was great. This was an amazing combo.
Dorothee ❤
Sting, Shaggy, and William Dafoe.. A combination I never thought I'd see.
Chad Powell nice
Chad Powell: Willem Dafoe isn't there.
@@cheril8891 yes he is
@@luismorales9310 The guitar player isn't Willem Dafoe. His name is Dominic
@@cheril8891 no way, that must be william
Unexpected and appreciated, like Sting's voice continuing to age like wine
yh u said it. his voice gets better with age
Sounds strained af yikes
You do realize that wine does eventually turn into vinegar when it goes past a certain point of aging. Wine is considered rotten grape juice, and vinegar is rotten wine. and alcohol is a poison.
@@Oneness100 Tastes good though.
@@K1ddkanuck Tastes good because you have developed a taste for it as well as an addiction to it. You are aware of the addictiveness of alcoholic beverages, right?
I throw up when I drink any alcoholic beverage. I also hate the feeling of being drunk too.
Shaggy’s rhythm is impeccable. Sting’s voice and groove on that bass are butter. Dominic’s playing is perfectly in pocket and his dynamics are unbelievable. The backup singers are a beautiful base for everything else and contribute so much without overtaking anything. The mixing is perfect and the recording engineer is a genius. This is the perfect storm!
I didn't realise Shaggy was so good live.. and good at singing without putting on the deep voice.
a cool cat ✌️
his supporting base in the last song is sublime
Shaggy is dope live!
@@pennywise1682 right? so annoying radio stations just played the one or two songs from an artist & that's it. Unless they're limited by what the record label releases as a single? I'm not sure how it works
Yo.. why is no one else loving these back up singers?! They add sooo much!
This is why I am here. Gene Noble is outstanding!
Yes! Anyone know their names? I'm a new fan.
@@ZeeboidThrok Melissa Musique and Gene Noble
10:37 just wow
Its not the same to be a back up singer that back you up and make you sign.
That backing vocal guy sure is feeling that
And I love it
That is Gene Noble I think.
@@hotmixxable it is :)
I was listening him live and he's 100x better. Was on Sting concert in Sofia 8th may this year...perfection !
@@AlexJ7 I agree. In my hometown Groningen he recently blew everyone away with his voice of an angel ❤
@@evelien8720 yea we all in Arena was like what the hell is going on here. And womans oh well 😂😂😂
Vocals stripped down with no machines.
Smashing!
Love it!
Yes, it was amazing, but there's literally a drum machine on the second song at 4:37 😀
It's still incredible how you can get a group of people together to sound so smooth 🤯
I love the way Willem Dafoe plays the guitar
Im dying
"You know, I'm something of a guitarist myself"
HAHAHAHAH BROOO
Dominic Miller 😂
nah he kinda looks like marco pier white
Sting’s singing while just casually laying down the bass groove like the legend he is
FrozenThorn123 exactly! My thoughts exactly!
I never noticed how he plucks the bass. Almost like a guitar finger picking style.
Zawakers This is tasteful, Mark King is showy
Sting is a beast
Dominic Miller couldn't play out of the pocket if he tried. He is so ALWAYS right on time, dynamically perfect, and artistically aware it amazes me. He and Sting are a treat every time they share a stage with ANYONE. Consummate musicians.
Oh yes! I had a pleasure to be a photographer on Dominic's concert and it was a great experience. Cheers!
So chill man, what a nice mix of voices, I can't ever imagine Shaggy and Sting can sound so good together
Sting ages like fine wine.
They both look amazing. Shaggy is in his 50s. Sting is almost 70!
That raspy tamber in Stings voice...
I haven't heard him sing in decades.
@@youmakeitreal Yeah...he does sound raspy. I'm 47 now...he sounds like this now due to his age!
Holy shit. That Shape of My Heart/Lucid Dreams mash-up is what world peace sounds like.
No
So, is sting now in peace terms with the whole Sue drama?
@@M93U no.
I was very happy to see these two back singers at Sting's concert 4days ago.
The tribute to Juice WRLD was a touching surprise. Amazing performance.
he hadnt died yet here
This Tiny Desk Concert smells like weed and tea.
With a heavy overlay of Dominic’s Camel Unfiltereds
Earl Grey and Sensi (LOL)...mi like it!
ndeah dou bruh bottom text
@@Kethjoy yesssss!
smells like shit.
Why didn't I know I wanted this crossover?! Sting, Shaggy and NPR!
RIGHT?!?!?!
They’re touring. You been asleep?
@@spencert4840 NPR has been touring too? :P
44/876 is the title of the Sting & Shaggy album. Pretty good check it out.
Loving the sound
Great set. The back up singers are really really amazing
I think my mind just turned to jam. Do you ever watch a live performance and cry for no reason ? Astonishing.
So bad ass, Shaggy, Sting and Willem Defoe!
Willem Dafoe! lol
It isn't just me who thought that! 🤣🤣
Willem Dafoe!!! Hahahahaha
ROFLMAO - Dead.....
YOOO😂
That version of "Englishman in New York" is so addictive.

Sting’s bass game is on point!!! ❤
When Sting collaborates with other artists he is truly Awsome, this is fabulous, genius.
Hard not to watch this with a permanent smile on your face.
Yes!!!
I’ve just been grinning the whole time! I don’t even know why
So true ....
I want to have what you had
I’m saying!!!
Backing singers are sublime
they are gold
Sublime was a ska/punk band from California
The guy is Gene Noble. Check him out, super talented!!
@@pinswade do you happen to know who the lady is? she is absolutely gorgeous ! wonderful vocalist xx
oh it's Melissa Musique! in the description. was too excited lol
Maaan I can't believe what I'm putting in to my ears! Eargasm!!
声も仕草も渋くて痺れる〜😂😂😂❤
このハモりと自由な雰囲気もみんな素敵✨✨🌈
When the background singer did the Juice Wrld version of shape of my heart!!!! His voice is beautiful!
He kinda stole the (already lovely) show.
@@globalgourmand Yes. but if he could do a little less at the very end of the song, it would have been perfect.
He sounded so great because he contrasts so well with the two legends. Such three different voices mix sooo well :D
I'm just so grateful to see Dominic Miller playing guitar with Sting....! Legends never die!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seantube123 was literally thinking about mighty Miller the other day, played Shape of My heart immediately.
I'd be honored if some Sting & Dominic Miller fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU (one of the songs that really highlights Miller's role in Sting's music) on my YT channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Will Ritter I wouldn’t usually, but, I will. Give me half an hour. If I like it, would you like me to subscribe? Etc?
They get FLUSHED.
This is the duo we never knew we needed.
My god, that bass tone is like the creamiest chocolate!
i know right!!
🤣🤙💯
It is - and you'd hope so 'cos they go for about 15 grand (!)
yes,proper bob marley esque
Franco Matias Marron exactly!
NPR should bring more old school pop artists
They had Dolores O'Riordan
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

I always watch this all the time and I can’t stop watching it every song they did was awesome. I remember listening to Sting as a little kid growing up and shaggy and I had their records and tapes.. I even liked how they did the Juice WRLD version as well as the Sting version.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾👊🏿👊🏿✊🏾👊🏿✊🏾👊🏿✊🏾respect
I clapped at the end of the rendition. Unique duo and fusion of their music.
my main problem with the Tiny Desk Concerts is that I'll put one on as background music while working, but 20 seconds into the video I have to start watching these incredible artists doing what they do best. Then two hours go by where I watch six of these things in a row and I haven't done any work.
You gotta watch it! So much energy in everyone involved it's such a beautiful thing
Been there and will be there soon
I pulled up a paper I need to read for class 20 minutes ago........ This hits too close to home
Me too))
I got exactly the same "problem" hahaha
0:00 Englishman/Jamaican in New York
4:25 Don't make me wait
8:35 Shape of My Heart/Lucid Dreams
The result: Best NPR concert ever!
Sting surprised me!!!! The whole jam was killer, I love good lyrics!
Dig deeper. I ain't surprised. Sting is SICK!!
Sting is a ridiculous musician
I watched shaggy concert in Jakarta, Indonesia back in 2000 something.. And still same voice as this perform.. What a legend these two..
The background singers are awesome too. Sing brother.
His name is gene noble… he’s a killer..
10:35 was absolute chills
@@maxverse best voice on this episode 👌
I swear NPR y’all so creative with these Tiny desks. I get surprised almost DAILY by seeing artists here i’d never thought you guys would have on
what it do it’s just so cool 😎 totally agree
These are musicians at their heart
Sting's voice is priceless
God damn it NPR it's 2am. I was tryna go to sleep lol
How do you think I feel? It's 3:35 for me!!! It's worth it, I love good music!
10am in the UK, perfect
SAME! Can't go past this though
@@benschebella673 lol i found this at 1am the next day
Its 1 am my azz need to go to bed for work tommorow!
The backup singers are everything
No
Listened to all Tiny Desk and this is the best by a mile. Listened to this hundreds of times over the years. Brilliant pairing
Shaggy, man! I love u❤
hes literally almost 70 and still has this voice mannnn thats a one of a kind voice
@@FloresOrtodoxas I agree
I mean this project is legendary but imagine what a banger this set would have been if they ended with a surprise " It Wasn't Me"
Parker Beckley ah man thats why i clicked on this vid
You can definitely find it on KRplus
@@xAZZAx1 me too :))

Its on KRplus but its improved and not as satisfying as you'd hope. Mr. Bombastic on the other hand..
I can't ever imagine Shaggy and Sting can sound so good together, that´s was incredible.
Sting and Sagghi are joy!!
I love them!!
This back-vocal guy in "Shape of my heart" is something...
Gene Noble has an amazing voice.
Too 90’s for my liking, to be honest. But indeed, what a voice!
He was nervous as fuck too! He got the clapping wrong twice on the previous song, was sweating a ton, but pulled through with an amazing performance. I teared up a bit.
@@iliketochasegibbons8015 there is no such thing as too 90s , better than autotune
Phone conversation:
Sting: "Hey Shag, it's the Stinger. Wanna go do some random ass shit at NPR Tiny Desk?"
Shaggy; "Mr lover love ta"
🤣
They already performed in France /collab - and way better..
2023 still here. Real music!
Cada vez que escucho esta canción 🎼🎸siempre me emociona 😢❣️
Marvel Infinity War: this is the biggest crossover in history
Sting: hold my Fender Precision
its actially fender telecaster bass
Actually, You’re wrong.
The early Precision basses had a Tele style headstock. They were, nevertheless, Precision Basses.
@@Anorexiaification Yep, definitely a Precision. An early 50s one.
this is it sir, this is the comment
sting is one of my favorite vocalists out there. now we’re adding shaggy? i’m obsessed. and when shaggy calls him stingy. my heart. also that woman is fabulous, she really adds a lot to the vocals.
The woman's name?

Listening to sting brings me such joy, god bless him.
Omfg! First I thought.. Wtf is Sting doing with Shaggy?? First 20 secs and everything makes sense..
It's called his "PR Agenda".
They won a grammy together
They have touring together for a couple of years, I think
@@locosebascortes Yeah, this duo isn't anything new.
It makes sense since The Police music us heavily influenced by reggae.

A good Bordeaux.
Sounds good too
does anyone else fell deeply in love with Shaggy in this video?

Who would have thought that Shaggy and Sting would make such a great pairing.
There was a lot of reggae influence in The Police. Specially in their bass lines. When sting found shaggy he must have felt at home.
Easy to see
Sting is literally reggae influenced, it only makes sense
It's fits perfectly. I'm glad it happened..😊
