When Billy Ocean sings “When the Going Gets Tough”, the hall knows every line. The man co-wrote the eighties – and still sings them with the same warmth today.
Born in Trinidad, he worked in a London car factory before becoming one of the most successful soul singers of his time. “Caribbean Queen” earned him a Grammy in 1984, “When the Going Gets Tough” became number one in 1986, “Suddenly” and “Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car” followed. Over thirty million records sold and a career that continues to this day.
He performs live with a full band, and the program consists practically only of hits. His voice has lost none of its lightness, his demeanor is warm and relaxed – a singer who likes his audience and lets them feel it.
A guarantee for the big moment at open airs, galas and eighties formats.
