Well Bob's your uncle, as they say.

I just took Sting's word for it because, at the time (1965ish)  I was in 
America, a prepubescent 12  year old
with my ear glued to a tinny Japanese transistor radio every Sunday night 
listening to the Top Twenty countdown,   lol

KLIV,   baby!!!!!!    The Stones, the Beatles, the Kinks, the Yardbirds 
and 
Eric Burdon and the Animals were turning me on!

What did I know,  silly Anglophilic Yank that I was.
