Billy Ocean – S.O.U.L. (CD)

Billy Ocean built his reputation on sleek, hook-driven R&B that crossed pop and soul with genuine ease, scoring a run of international hits through the 1980s that still hold up on any playlist. This early collection captures the Trinidadian-born, London-raised singer in the formative stretch of his career, before "Caribbean Queen" and "Get Outta My Dreams" made him a household name worldwide.
