"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
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.
Great song from Sir Billy Ocean who was knighted by the Queen for his services to music in 2020.
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!!❤️
Yet another 80's banger!!! Also GREAT: Billy Ocean's 'Loverboy'.
Great video too 🔥
Yasss!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a great blast from the past! Billy Ocean.....
This was huge! Definitely one of the biggest hits of the 80s
This was all over the clubs in the summer of 1985. Back then, Dallas had alot of places on Greenville ave.
I always loved this song and Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car & There’ll Be Sad Songs ❤️
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.

Omg this brings back childhood memories like crazy!
I love how music brings back memories, it's pretty cool 🎶 🎵
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!
Billy Ocean was so huge in the 80's!
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!
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.
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.
21 January 1950 (age 72 years), Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago.... his birth nane...Leslie Sebastian Charles.... the man really can sing... he still tours...
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!
Same riff as Billie Jean and Carribean Queen rhymes with it as well 😊
Great track though. Disco dance floor classic ❤️
So good!
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
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
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!!!
Asia, when you give us that big sunshine smile, I know you are liking the music, just love whatever Billy sings, great reaction.
Billy had many great hits. My favorite is "Color Of Love".
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.
This song never failed to get people on the dance floor in the clubs in Miami.
You know its an 80s song when that solo sax cuts in!
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.
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
Billy Ocean reminds me of elementary school, lol!! My principal was a huge fan and would play Billy Ocean before assemblies
omg, such a timeless classic, lovin it
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
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. ♥
Such an iconic 80s song!
I didn't know if y'all would come up out your seats on this one! 💃🕺
Omg 😲.. this is from my teenage years!! YAY!! 😍
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.
This cd stays in my car player, forever.
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.
Love this song... It packed the dance floor back in the day.
A true classic if there was one ☝️😁
I absolutely 💙💙💙 this 🎵🎶. I remember when it came out
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! 😁
Don't forget "Red Light Spells Danger", it's one of Billy's finest songs.
Also, Suddenly and When the Going Gets Tough.
All fire.
70's Billy Ocean. Love really hurts without you and red light spells danger. Now they are two brilliant songs
I miss the 80’s music. Billy Ocean is awesome
😆that ending tho ..😆
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.👍🎵
Thank you for reacting to this one. Have not heard in forever.
Hope you enjoyed it!
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!!
Get into my car!!!!! That's an awesome Billh Ocean song.
Beautiful mid 80s r’n’b/soul/pop coolness.
Another one on my playlist!! It's definitely the 80's vibe..yep love it!!💃💃😁❤️
Billy was the man in the 80's
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 smooth criminal
Oh Yyyaaaaaaahhh!!!! Woohoooo!!!! Love it
A great artist! Love his music!
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!
Suddenly is my favorite song by him.
Gotta love some Billy Ocean 💛
Crazy! I was just looking for reactions to Billy Ocean this afternoon!!! Love it!!! 💕
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@AsiaandBJ Loved it! Love your channel! 💕
This is a timeless,smooth,dope ass track!!! Billy Ocean killed it!!
I loved this song even when I had no clue lol
This one used to fill up the dance floors. Very popular dance song in the clubs during the '80s.
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".
Billy has a great voice and plenty of hits.
British and one of the music biz nicest guys.
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 love Billy Ocean, he was very big in the eighties!! Fun stuff here
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.
Seen him live awesome concert, everyone was dancing 🎤🥁🎸👏😎🤘🔥🔥🔥
You must check out him singing his beautiful love song, 'Suddenly'!
The live acoustic version is perfect!! 😍
Hit that Gregory Abbott , Shake you Down !
Talk about a groove
Thanks for supporting the Os BJ! It’s my state and hometown! 💕☮️
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 🙏
Color of love was such a beautiful song and never got the recognition it should have. You should do a reaction to it ❤️
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.
Love Billy Ocean.
Love Billy Ocean !!
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!
This song makes you dance all the different sounds to it
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
Seen him in the late 80's....he puts on a great show....
This jam is amazing and gets better with every listen 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Memories of great times! THANK YOU!!
I loved shaken my tail feathers to this song back in the day😂😂
Love love love Billy Ocean.
Great singer, great song, very Billy Jean.
Flashbacks of Miami Vice
I love this song!
I love St. Croix!
Billy ocean 🌊 is amazing I've seen him in concert and he was frickin unbelievable he also did a song suddenly which I absolutely fell in love with when he performed it on Australian television just him and someone else with an acustic guitar.👍❤️❤️❤️🥝🇳🇿
You two are so funny and cute together 😄🥰❤️😘
GOTTHARD. ANYTIME ANYWHERE, live live.
Great song!!
Please do the official video for when the going gets tough the tough get going next.it was used in jewel of the Nile the sequel to romancing the stone.the video has the stars as the backing singer's.micheal Douglas, Kathleen turner and Danny divito.
Teen memories used to sing the chorus over and over.
