 Billy Ocean CD Review
While Trinidad-born soul singer Billy Ocean was one of the biggest RandB singles artists of the 80s, it was always tough to place him in the scene.
However, in a career that lasted almost two decades (and was white hot for five years), Billy Ocean dropped a truckload (okay, at least a compilation-load) of hot singles.

Ocean was a very consistent performer and writer--perhaps a shade too consistent for his own good, for after several years there was a general sense that his music was repetitive in both style and content.
When combined with changing tastes and a few brushes with the law, it was enough to precipitate a sudden slide from the glory days of fame to an almost complete obscurity; although he continues to write, record, and perform in Europe, he is now largely forgotten by the huge international audience he once commanded.
Billy Ocean is one of those guys whose songs you like, but you never knew who sung them.
