Billy Ocean Tickets in Seattle

By: Spencer    Category: Other, Emerald Queen Casino Tickets, Concerts

The only song I know about Billy Ocean is, “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car”. I have been singing that song in my head for the last few months. He is performing at the Emerald Queen Casino soon so get your tickets. Here is some info from wiki:

He was born in Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago to Grenadian parents, and moved to England with his family at the age of eight. In his teenage years, he sang regularly in London clubs. He released his first single in 1972 on Spark Records as Les Charles.

By 1976 he had adopted the name Billy Ocean and recorded his debut album, Billy Ocean, with the first single, “Love Really Hurts Without You,” charting at number 2 in the UK and number 22 in the U.S. More hits followed, including as “L.O.D. (Love On Delivery)”. He also wrote songs for other artists such as LaToya Jackson. In 1982 he hit the U.S. Rhythm and Blues Chart with “Nights (Feel Like Getting Down).”

Ocean’s period of greatest success began with Suddenly in 1984 and its main single “Caribbean Queen”. The song’s title and lyrics were changed for different regions, such that the song is also known as “African Queen” or “European Queen”. The album’s title track also became a hit. His 1986 album Love Zone also sold very well. It included the hit singles “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going” (the theme from the film The Jewel of the Nile, this was a number one hit in the UK and a number two in the U.S.; and “There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)” (a U.S. number one, and also a major UK hit).

Ocean’s next album, Tear Down These Walls (1988) featured another number one single, “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car”.

His later albums, such as Time to Move On, Love is For Ever (also known as L.I.F.E.) and Showdown, failed to spawn hits, but his 1989 Greatest Hits collection has been a steady seller over the years.
