actually being able to sing was a prerequisite to becoming a musician............how retarded is it that to become a musician today a person DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE ABLE TO SING.......y sing when there is autotune........commercial music isn't even music......WTF HAS HAPPENED TO MAINSTREAM MUSIC....
@Omrie69 me too men and i may add fucking communist.the original video of this song was so great cause u could see had the end of the video michael,danny billy were dancing laughing singing u could see they were having a very very good time.miss the video to bad they cant posted this on youtube.
I had NEVER heard of Joe Cross until a few days ago. But he has a vid out called the money will come IT IS SOOO HOT. I am Truly a FAN JOE CROSS I LUV U!!!!!!
Haha I love his smile...his smile and Eddie Murphy's smile always puts a smile on my face!!! Billy's coming to Raggamuffin in New Zealand!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!
People miss the 80´s coz back then you had to be good and talented to make it big in cinema or music, now anyone can make it specially in the music industry, soulja boy, miley cirus, justin bieber to name a few...
@Euclides287 funny you should say that, when infact during the 80's there was a growing number of 'artists' that had access to technology that allowed them to create music with little to no talent required at all, (as you say, much like today) thats why there were so many 1 hit wonders during that time:) but i do agree that the 80s was the best era for music and there deffinately were many talented musicians around at that time:)
@Euclides287 Are you serious?! Quit hating seriously! What is up with y'all and Justin bieber?! I don't like his music so I don't listen to it but that boy is SO FREAKIN talented he sing his tale off and plays like three instuments let him be!
Great number. I have such brilliant memories of this period. I wish I could go back in time. This is the first song mentioned in my (eighties) novel Wait Until You Die. I've actually got a demotape cassette of this song, recorded at MCA 's demo studios in Piccadilly before the full production was done.
@Zodist ...I know what you mean.Ive been searching for it but unfortunately Youtube took it off due to copyrights....Too bad that was a very good music video!!!
I am listening to this song for the last few hours.,its amazing..the " ooh ".,still cant place Cramer's comment "50 years agohe would be hanged" like for horse thiefery or something
Aqui no brasil ele faz grande suscesso no filme " Todo mundo odeia o Cris"(Everybody hates Chris); Porem suas musicas foram pouco divulgada na decada de 80. Mas ele e muito bom!!
Authentic talent like Billy Ocean's tops the mess put out today. I'm thankful I lived and experienced great performers and am comfortable knowing the difference. Billy Ocean is still excellence in performance today.
Wow, it's great to see so many people agree with me! I just had a thought and would like to put it to people. Many people love this song and others like it, it's even popular with some youngsters. If a song like this comes on in a disco, then people really get dancing. So why is it these days that artists are in capable of recapturing this sort of magic in new songs?!
Billy is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced, over 30 million albums, and a R&B award winner,and he got a Lifetime Achievement Award for over 30 years in music at the 2010 MOBO Awards, Justin Bieber in 30 years (not a chance) he's just a Donny Osmond of his day (but not as good)
I just love listening to 80's music, listening to the keyboard and drums kinda make me sad, when is science going to make a time mechine? If they do, I would assist to be their test subject and get out of this current time date, to get far away from the bad music that is written today.
Conservative 1992 you're absolutely right, you too GOPJ0 - this isthe era when music had real feeling and could really bring people to life, these days it's all doom and gloom. Billy Ocean is just one of the many greats who turn my iphone into a feel good machine!! Yeahh!!!!!
You know when music is good.. when multiple generations can enjoy it. Boomers Gen X and Y love this stuff. you Gen Z's are screwed with your Gaga and Beiber trash.
i remember when this hit the charts . I was only like 13yrs old. I was going out with the prettiest girl in the class. And she was a really nice person too
@antnee1980 yup, Billy's the only one with a live mic on the stage (excepting the MC, of course). Call it a hobby; I'm a singer, and I've spent a lot of time "analyzing" clips for this sort of thing over the years. So, yah, you're 100% correct. Not sure how anyone could have confused that on this clip, and I'm not gonna bother to scroll down any further lol
