Billy Ocean is a Trinidadian-born English recording artist who had a string of R&B international pop hits in the 1970’s and 1980’s. He was the most popular British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980’s.
After scoring his first four UK Top 20 successes, seven years passed before he accumulated a series of transatlantic successes, including three US number ones.
In 1985, Ocean won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his worldwide hit, “Caribbean Queen”, and in 1987 was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist.
