Billy Ocean: Love Zone CD Track Listing
Billy Ocean
Love Zone (1986)
Originally Released January 1986\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Billy Ocean was riding atop the charts when he issued this album in '86. The title track contained both a fine arrangement and Ocean's emphatic lead vocal, and was a huge hit. He topped the R&B charts twice that year with both "Love Zone" and "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)," each of which was also a huge pop smash, the latter topping the pop chart. This was arguably his finest album, and was certainly his most successful. -- Ron Wynn\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAn 80's Classic!, April 17, 2002\nReviewer: WILLIE A YOUNG II "willow" (Houston, TX.)\nThis gem of an album, while sounding seriously dated at times, is still a pleasure from start to finish. The opener, "When The Going Gets Tough...." is a fun song with a great melody (especially on the bridge) that hearkens back to the mid 80's and times of sheer enjoyment (remember the video with Danny Devito, Michael Douglas et all?) and fun of the forgettable movie it was featured in "Jewel Of The Nile". The burbling, bass popping title track is the best cut here, with it's light jazz flourishes and serious R&B groove (I'd love to know who the bassist and guitarist are, they really anchor this baby)"Love Zone" never sounds old or trite, it's a timeless track. The biggest hit here, "....Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)" is still a lovely, if saccharine ballad that has stood the test of time fairly well and still gets regular play on light FM stations across the nation. It will somehow endure through the ages.\nAll in all a nice, if not indespensible, collection. The title track elevates it just slightly above average.\n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nProducers: Barry J. Eastmond, Wayne Brathwaite.\nRecorded at Battery Studios, London, England.
