An excellent purchase.

All the Billy Ocean tracks you really need (some other "best of" or "collections" don't feature ALL the essential hits, but this one does).

Great to realise how many hits and brill tunes Billy Ocean released. As he is soon to tour again, I fully expect this CD to be re-released at a more expensive price, so get in there soon!

Born in Trinidad as Leslie Charles, he was raised in Britain from an early age, eventually coming to public attention as Billy Ocean via two UK number two hits and two other UK top twenty hits in the seventies.

Billy's first UK hit, Love really hurts without you, was a catchy, up-tempo soul song that made number two in the UK. The follow-up, LOD Love on delivery, just made the top twenty. Next came Stop me if you've heard it all before, which just missed the top ten. After that came his second number two hit, Red light spells danger.

Billy's career seemed to be blossoming but it was at this point that things went wrong. His record label, GTO, was taken over by a major and although he remained for a few years, he only had two minor ... Read More:

4.Greatest Hits by: Billy Ocean
September 01, 1989
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Greatest Hits
From the middle 1970s through the next decade, Billy Ocean was a regular vistor to the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with his special brand of soulful pop. The melodic appeal of songs like Get Outta My Dreams, Caribbean Queen and Loverboy is still there and tracks like When The Going Gets Tough, Colour Of Love and There'll Be Sad Songs sound even better these days when the charts are filled with bland pop and boring rap. There's just one unforgivable omission here, the great song Red Light Spells Danger that was a huge hit for Ocean in the mid seventies. No collection could be considered complete without that masterpiece.

6.Love Is Forever by: Billy Ocean
August 04, 1997
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Love Is Forever
There are a few compilations of Billy Ocean hits a round, but this surely is the most comprehensive. It covers the early years right up to his last releases of 1993. All the best songs are here and even a few you may not know but are equally as good (like Calypso crazy). In all you get 24 tracks, which is good value.Yes there are a few duds (about 3) but because of the excellence of the rest you'll hardly notice. What I really like about the album is the excellent mix of songs, from the party hits they still play in the clubs today, to the classic ballads. If you like Michael Jackson, 1980's music or even something to dance to buy this!

Let's Get Back Together is a pleasant collection of Billy's ballads from the 80's (plus a few from the 90's and beyond). The big hits are here, and there's a really cool bonus in the previously unreleased "Our Love Will Survive" (which really should have been released back in '88!). I'm not as crazy about the two new tunes: the production is very thin and impersonal, and Billy doesn't do a whole lot vocally on them. I hope that he'll have more involvement in writing and production again if he does end up recording further - his involvement in the construction of these new songs (both remakes) is missed!

Jive was wise to include "Promise Me," a very underrated tune from the Love Zone album. But upon listening to more mediocre tunes here like "Because ... Read More:

The Trinidadian Billy Ocean's accessible blend of soul and pop gave him plenty of top ten hits. My favourites here include Love Really Hurts Without You and the unforgetable Red Light Spells Danger, a huge hit in about 1977. He had the perfect pop sensibility, underpinned by soulful vocals and helped by superb production. His 1980s hits like (When The Going Gets Tough) The Tough Get Going and Get Outa My Dreams, Get Into My Car are slick and smooth, typical of the dance music of the 1980s but with added soul that have made them stand the test of time very well. This album is not comprehensive - the major omission being Caribbean Queen, but still a good collection of melodic songs from the 1970s and 80s and worth it just for Red Light alone.
