Billy Ocean.  If you call him the poor man's Michael Jackson, you should be smacked upside your head!  Despite "Caribbean Queen" having a keyboard part that sounds a little like "Billy Jean", Billy manages to diversify to cutesy dance pop, funky R&B to smothering slow jams.  Take the get-up anthems "When The Going Gets Tough" and "Get Out of My Dreams", both fast paced grooving pop tunes.  With peppy sing along tunes like those, it s nearly a crime that he wasn't crowned the King of the era.  Then there are adult contemporary gems, which are sang sweetly and lightly like "Suddenly" and "There ll Be Sad Songs".  Billy's funkiest track that hints of the islands is "Love Zone".  "Loverboy" is a stomping rock beat dancer.  "Tear Down These Walls" is a good combo of a pop song in a slower more romantic way.  "Mystery Lady" is a romantic tribute.  Also, Billy gives us guests like the Fresh Prince  (now known as Will Smith) and Robert Lange (who produced heavy metal monsters AC/DC and Def Leppard before this and country queen wife Shania Twain after).  Then of course, there is "Caribbean Queen", the blessing and the curse.
