For mine, the brilliant music career of Billy Ocean started at the top and went down from there. I'll grant you that songs like 'Caribbean Queen', 'When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going' & 'Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car' are pretty good tunes, but to paraphrase Sick Boy: "They are merely blips on an otherwise downward trajectory".
To fully appreciate the genius of Billy Ocean, you can look no further than his debut single from 1976. Everything else that followed was shite in comparison.

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available" ...Poignant much?
Just further proof that the genius of Billy Ocean is being snubbed Mr Granfield. :-)
Thanks for letting me know as well. Replacement video now up though far less superior to what I originally had.
Oh to be back in the 80's ! Not all talent ages gracefully, but yeah, had some great early tracks.
