Billy Ocean

Plus special guest, Yolanda Brown

Billy Ocean is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced, one who has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime.

He has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum records across the world and hit the number one spot worldwide on pop charts including the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, and the UK.

Born in Trinidad, Billy settled in London’s East End aged seven. His first break came with his second single, the Motown-ish ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’, which reached No. 2 in the UK charts.

He has had phenomenal singles success with ‘Love on Delivery’ and ‘Stop Me’, then ‘Red Light Spells Danger’ which became a smash in both the UK and the US. The million selling American number one single ‘Caribbean Queen’ (for which Billy won a Grammy) was followed by ‘Loverboy’ and ‘Suddenly’.

‘When the Going gets Tough (the tough gets going)’, ‘There’ll be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)’and the
now classic ‘Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car’, all made No. 1 in the US.

In April 2016 he released the double CD 'Here You Are: The Best Of Billy Ocean', featuring new tracks along with a selection of his greatest hits.
