Happy 53rd B-day, Billy Ocean!! Just wanted to take time out to send birthday wishes his way as a way to pay homage to another one of those "underrated" singers from back in the day! Don't y'all remember Suddenly and There'll Be Sad Songs To Make You Cry (and this was one of them)? Damn, those were some great slow jams! Discuss...  | |

I fondly remember his 1981 jam "One Of Those Nights (Feel Like Getting Down)",which is much funkier than his later releases.A few years later,I remember my mother buying his 1984 album 'Suddenly'.The entire Side 1 is a classic...there was the "Billie Jean"-styled "Carribean Queen(No More Love On The Run)"...the sexy,laid-back "Mystery Lady"...the intoxicating "Syncopation"...and then a KILLER version of the Beatles classic "The Long and Winding Road".
And that's just Side 1 [This message was edited Tue Jan 21 5:48:17 PST 2003 by DavidEye] | |
