"Suddenly", "Loverboy", "There'll Be Sad Songs", "Mystery Lady", "Love Zone", "Colour of Love", "When the Going Gets Tough", "Get Outta My Dreams".... So many great songs by Billy Ocean!!!❤❤❤
Colour of love is my fav
Yes!!! I had forgotten how many hits he had. Thanks for reminding me. 😊
And Syncopation from that same album! 😊
Add to that ... red light spells danger and Love really Hurts with out you.
Red light spells danger
Billy Ocean is fantastic!! “When the Going Gets Tough” and of course “Suddenly” are excellent
And definitely his song“”Loverboy.” My personal fave of his~
I remember hearing my grandma saying that she used to dance to Billy Ocean
Great song from Sir Billy Ocean who was knighted by the Queen for his services to music in 2020.
Yet another 80's banger!!! Also GREAT: Billy Ocean's 'Loverboy'.
Great video too 🔥
Yasss!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favorite Billy Ocean song is “Lover Boy”. I used to blast this when it came on the radio. There’s something about the cadence of the song that’s addictive.
My favorite of his too!!
Mine too! It’s such a great dance tune…I just asked for it again…no one seems to react to it! I live in hope!!❤️
What a great blast from the past! Billy Ocean.....
Billy Ocean is a Trinidad & Tobago-born British recording artist who had a lot of R&B pop hits in the 70's-80's. Caribbean Queen was his biggest hit & he scored two Grammy Award nominations for it & won for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1985. Some of his other songs are "Love Really Hurts Without You", "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going", "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)" etc.
When the going gets tough and Get outta my dreams were both No. 1's in Australia and the UK and probably everywhere else too so I'd think that they were bigger hits than Caribbean Queen was. That was still top 10 everywhere else though.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax Get Outta My Dreams actually peaked at No.3 in the UK - but you're right about "When The Going Gets Tough", I would have thought that was his biggest seller.
Nights feel like getting down. Stay the night.
This was huge! Definitely one of the biggest hits of the 80s
I always loved this song and Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car & There’ll Be Sad Songs ❤️
He is said to be one of the nicest people in the music industry
You can hear contemporary artists adopting this sound right now (The Weeknd), and I am here for it!
This song is about a beautiful and exotic woman who seduces the singer.
The first version of this song was titled "European Queen (No More Love On The Run)" and released in the UK. In went nowhere, so Ocean and his team edited the song, changing it to "Caribbean Queen." This version was a hit in both the US and UK. A third version, "African Queen," was made for that continent. The video was edited for the different versions so ocean would be singing the right words.

This was all over the clubs in the summer of 1985. Back then, Dallas had alot of places on Greenville ave.
Omg this brings back childhood memories like crazy!
I love how music brings back memories, it's pretty cool 🎶 🎵
Billy Ocean was so huge in the 80's!
Yeah! This should be followed up with "Lover Girl" by Teena Marie, "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters, "Erotic City" by Prince and "The Bird" by Morris Day and The TIme. Smack dab in the middle of the 1980's.
Same riff as Billie Jean and Carribean Queen rhymes with it as well 😊
Great track though. Disco dance floor classic ❤️
So good!
Love this song! ❤️ So glad you reacted to this 80’s hit; Your reaction was perfect; have to smile and dance with this one! There’s a great extended version you may want to play in the car 😀
I love it!
I love Billy Ocean...still makes me boogie!! 🥰 The long version of this song rocks!!
One of my favorite Billy Ocean songs. And "When The Going Gets Tough" should be next.
This song was actually released twice with different titles before it became a hit, it was released as African Queen then European Queen, but both times failed to chart, then became a massive hit as Caribbean Queen
21 January 1950 (age 72 years), Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago.... his birth nane...Leslie Sebastian Charles.... the man really can sing... he still tours...
Billy had many great hits. My favorite is "Color Of Love".
You two guys are just wonderful to watch together. God bless you both. PLEASE react to other Billy Ocean videos, he never made a bad one and believe it or not, Billy is STILL packing out the houses!!!
That Beat and Bassline was Popular for a number of bands... I guess you could say it was the "Foundation for Sampling".
Billy had a number of hits and each one was PURE GOLD!
Asia, when you give us that big sunshine smile, I know you are liking the music, just love whatever Billy sings, great reaction.
I was in 6th grade when this song was released--a huge hit that stands the test of time. You gotta get up and move when you hear this song.
Thus song is one that does share DNA with the Michael Jackson hit BILLIE JEAN. It was the hit that broke Billy Ocean in America and helped fuel his career and chart success for the next years.
"Caribbean queen, now we're sharing the same dream" .. "Will do a dance on the floor in the round"
It does sound like MJ's Billie Jean , to me too !
just at that one part
I remember reading an interview with Billy Ocean after this came out that he(B.O.) felt it was a hugh hit possibly because the beat was similar to Billie Jean.
This song never failed to get people on the dance floor in the clubs in Miami.
omg, such a timeless classic, lovin it
Such an iconic 80s song!
Wife here...Ahhhh ,Loved this Jam the eighties...Still do...HUGE hit of the eighties.You two both on point always,,Wore this record out in the fifth grade!!..AWESOME!! Billy Ocean is INCREDIBLE
Mid 80s I was a 19 year old young buck checking IDs at the door of a Nightclub..... Wednesdays and Fridays were "Ladies Night".... club was ALWAYS packed, and when the DJ spun this track the asses were shakin' on the dance floor.... Good times.... I'd turn the clock back to 85 in a heartbeat! Why? Because we ALL GOT ALONG....
Me too
That one riff Asia is talking about sounds like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"
If you listen to Billy Ocean's "Suddenly", there is the original '80s version and a newer acoustical version and both are worth checking out.
Ah, I just posted a similar comment about Billie Jean, but hadn't seen this one. It's funny back then I was listening to all that and didn't notice the similarity, of course I didn't notice the similarity between Ghost Busters and Wanna new Drug at first either LOL I was just a kid listening to it all and enjoying it all haha
Love this song... It packed the dance floor back in the day.
You know its an 80s song when that solo sax cuts in!
Caribbean Queen still gets a lot of play. I hear it on the soundtrack at work in regular rotation...never get tired of it. Billy Ocean, classy smooth king. ♥
Billy Ocean reminds me of elementary school, lol!! My principal was a huge fan and would play Billy Ocean before assemblies
I didn't know if y'all would come up out your seats on this one! 💃🕺
I absolutely 💙💙💙 this 🎵🎶. I remember when it came out
Asia & BJ If you see the video Leslie Charles aka Billy Ocean does the "MoonWalk" while he's dancing.Maybe he's paying homage to "The King Of Pop" MJ.👍🎵
Also, Suddenly and When the Going Gets Tough.
All fire.
😆that ending tho ..😆
Great reaction from you two! The bpm's had to be similar if not the same back in the day BJ, as the whole point was to keep people in the clubs up and dancing, and it worked! 😁
A true classic if there was one ☝️😁
Tears in my eyes listening to this classic 😢, memories of a a long ride in my father's car, listen to this music on the radio while my father sort out the driving and his direction. Me I was enjoying the music.
Beautiful mid 80s r’n’b/soul/pop coolness.
He has many hits! If you're in the mood for a romantic ballad, I suggest "Suddenly" and an energetic one that reminds me of Star Wars, I suggest "Loverboy." Have fun!
Carribean queen, my fav billy ocean tune, to get as great a tune as that you gotta go back to his 70's stuff, "love really hurts without you" & "red light spells danger" he's still gigging too, his voice is awesome.
70's Billy Ocean. Love really hurts without you and red light spells danger. Now they are two brilliant songs
Omg 😲.. this is from my teenage years!! YAY!! 😍
This cd stays in my car player, forever.
Thank you for reacting to this one. Have not heard in forever.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Get into my car!!!!! That's an awesome Billh Ocean song.
I miss the 80’s music. Billy Ocean is awesome
Another one on my playlist!! It's definitely the 80's vibe..yep love it!!💃💃😁❤️
A great artist! Love his music!
Don't forget "Red Light Spells Danger", it's one of Billy's finest songs.
Oh Yyyaaaaaaahhh!!!! Woohoooo!!!! Love it
This song brings memories when I was stationed in Ansbach Germany, 1st Armored Division 141st signal battalion. And thats where I met my husband who was in the Army as well and hounded me until I had a date with him. After...well you know the rest. Thank you 😊
Billy Ocean is a great singer, One of his best songs is "Red Light Spells Danger" worth looking up, But TBH all his songs are brilliant.
I remember dancing to this at the club. It felt like I was gliding…. Good memories. Dance floor always filled with this song and Get out of my Dreams and into my Car!!
I just started watching you guys. I love it. This is my music and you love it. I don’t know how old you guys are but I like the fact that you like the music. And let me say Asia you have the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen quite a lot. Been around the world twice and enjoyed life. Anyway I really enjoy your podcast keep it coming.
Love Billy Ocean.
Suddenly is my favorite song by him.
Crazy! I was just looking for reactions to Billy Ocean this afternoon!!! Love it!!! 💕
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@AsiaandBJ Loved it! Love your channel! 💕
Gotta love some Billy Ocean 💛
When you talk about the riff at 2:33, you have identified a popular sound of funky Rhythm Guitar playing in the 80's. A lot of the same session players played on albums for many artists in the 80's. The best ones (some were rock players) laid down their talents for M.J, Madonna, Luther and many more.
Funky/Dance/Soul Guitar playing had this kind of sound and technique in the 80's, it had evolved to this sound and style and it worked well for those genres.
Billy has a great voice and plenty of hits.
British and one of the music biz nicest guys.
You must check out him singing his beautiful love song, 'Suddenly'!
The live acoustic version is perfect!! 😍
Billy Ocean is a smooth criminal
Love Billy Ocean !!
Billy is a fantastic rabbit hole to go down. Please do the official video for When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Going. A great song from the movie Jewel of the Nile - and the video has it's stars Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito as Billy's backup singers. Funny and great video. Get Outta My Dreams and Into My Car is also a great song from the AMAZING movie License to Drive - which you NEED to do on your movie channel. Pretty please :). Loverboy and Suddenly are also two of his greats.
Billy was the man in the 80's
This one used to fill up the dance floors. Very popular dance song in the clubs during the '80s.
I’m a white guy from 80s UK and his voice to me is and was one of the best male voices in the industry so soulful
I love Billy Ocean, he was very big in the eighties!! Fun stuff here
Hit that Gregory Abbott , Shake you Down !
Talk about a groove
Seen him live awesome concert, everyone was dancing 🎤🥁🎸👏😎🤘🔥🔥🔥
This is a timeless,smooth,dope ass track!!! Billy Ocean killed it!!
I love this song!
I love St. Croix!
Thanks for supporting the Os BJ! It’s my state and hometown! 💕☮️
Love love love Billy Ocean.
Color of love was such a beautiful song and never got the recognition it should have. You should do a reaction to it ❤️
This single released by Billy Ocean called ‘Caribbean Queen’ had exactly the same tune on the B side but this time with the words ‘African Queen’ instead - it covered both bases!
I loved this song even when I had no clue lol
Memories of great times! THANK YOU!!
I loved shaken my tail feathers to this song back in the day😂😂
I watched Billy Ocean a few weeks ago at Weyfest in Surrey,England. He was just superb.He still has a fantastic voice and he is a real gent.He closed his set with this song.
Peace,Love and Unity 🙏
This song makes you dance all the different sounds to it
Great song!!
Seen him in the late 80's....he puts on a great show....
Great singer, great song, very Billy Jean.
Hold on to your love by Sade has the same bass riff too
You two are so funny and cute together 😄🥰❤️😘
This jam is amazing and gets better with every listen 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song was a PHENOMENON when it was was released. It really established Ocean as a bonafide star and hit maker. The success quickly parlayed "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going" as being the highlight song on the Romancing The Stone sequel The Jewel of The Nile.
This is one of my favorite songs of Ocean's as well as "Love Zone".
Hey y’all! Y’all just got to do his songs “Loverboy” (another groove y’all will love!) and “Suddenly.” Soon , please-Better watch yourself there BJ!..😆😁💖💙
I never noticed that until you pointed it out that this song has a similar beat to "Billie Jean". Great observation!
