Page "Sting (musician)" Paragraph 14

His 1996 album, Mercury Falling debuted strongly with the single " Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot ", but it dropped quickly on the charts.

He reached the Top 40 with two singles the same year with " You Still Touch Me " ( June ) and " I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying " ( December ) ( which became a country music hit the next year in a version recorded with American country singer Toby Keith ).

During this period, Sting was also recording music for the upcoming Disney film Kingdom of the Sun, which went on to be reworked into The Emperor's New Groove.

The film went through drastic overhauls and plot changes, many of which were documented by Sting's wife, Trudie Styler.

She captured the moment he was called by Disney who then informed him that his songs would not be used in the final film.

The story was put into a final product: The Sweatbox, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.

Disney currently holds the rights to the film and will not grant its release.

That same year Sting also released a little-known CD-ROM called All This Time, which provided music, commentary and custom computer features describing Sting and his music from his perspective.
