Send to a FriendSelling over 30 million albums worldwide, Billy Ocean was an integral part of the 80's; indeed to many his songs defined the era.

His calypso and soul heritage combined with his love for pop groups such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones enabled him to produce a sound of his own and capture a decade.
Ocean's string of hit songs stretches back to the 70's with classics like "Love Really Hurts Without You." In 1984, he secured his first million-selling single with the Grammy-winning "Caribbean Queen." Then came "Suddenly," the first of his killer ballads. The single went top 10 and the album - also titled Suddenly - spent a year on the U.S. charts, achieving triple-Platinum sales.
The foundations were set, and the following years saw Billy release hit after hit with songs including "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going" "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)," "Love Is Forever," "Loverboy," "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" "Love Zone" and "The Colour Of Love."
Billy Ocean's contribution to the world of music is significant, and his records have influenced many of today's R&B artists. R. Kelly, who produced two tracks found on this collection, has long admired the way Billy was able to mix the more emotive soul style with a crossover pop and rock vibe and considers him to be an ultimate pop idol.
