Forgotten Billy Ocean Jam: One Of Those Nights (Feel Like Gettin' Down)

Everyone got so wrapped up in Billy Ocean's songs like "Carribean Queen", "Loverboy", and "Suddenly", that everyone seemed to forget about my favorite Billy Ocean jam a few years earlier....."One Of Those Nights (Feel Like Gettin' Down). This one was much funkier.

I don't remember that one. I never got "One Of Those Nights" until a few years ago and it is on a compilation.

Yes!! I'm feelin you on that one Andy. I loved that song! If that one can't make you jump up and wanna dance, I don't know what can. Billy Ocean should have his @$$ kicked for recording "Get Into My Car" He lost me on that one.

I didn't like that one either. That's what happens when R&B artists go pop.
