Englishman In New York

Sting wrote this song about famed gay author Quentin Crisp and his experiences as an outcast. Crisp moved from London to New York in 1986, and Sting spent several days with the author.

This was released as a single in 1988, reaching #51 in the UK. In 1990, a remix by Dutch producer Ben Liebrand was released as a single and hit #15.

David Fincher directed the video, in which Quentin Crisp appeared. Fincher has directed videos by Madonna, Paula Abdul and The Wallflowers, as well as the movies Seven, The Game and Fight Club.
