Billy Ocean ~ Caribbean/African/European Queen

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I remember "African Queen" being played quite a bit on R&B radio. When this album was reissued last year, I thought the label would include these alternate versions on the disc but they didn't. mad
