Sting - vocals; Mocean Worker - keyboards, electronics, Debra Dobkin, Val McCallum, Davey Fallagher, Greg Prestopino - bkg vocals
Recorded in Los Angeles at Sunset Sound Studios - Engineered by Dave Rideau, assisted by Erich Talaba.
The word -shallow- here is probably derived from -challo,- a West Indian word meaning -half-caste.- This beautiful sentimental song was first used for the pumps and later as a halyard chantey.
