On His Own - Part 1

Dear readers and passersby,

I have a question for your consideration.  When an established and globally recognized band breaks up and the lead singer is on his own, what is his chance at success equal to when the band was together?  Feel free to leave a comment to share your thoughts!

Okay, so one of the most iconic examples of a lead singer on his own is Sting.  My most favorite album by Sting himself is Brand New Day.  Although I love every song on the album, there are two that stand out the most - "A Thousand Years" and "Ghost Story."  Where The Police emphasized political messages, Brand New Day tells a more gentle and romantic story with each song. 
 
The concluding song on Brand New Day is "Brand New Day," which I personally find to be a profound statement to Sting's musical independence and success as defined by him alone.
