One of music's best loved performers, Billy Ocean, selects his favourite music in this Omnibus edition of Tracks Of My Years.
Prior to the release of his seminal album 'Suddenly', Billy had already enjoyed two big hits in 'Love Really Hurts Without You' and 'Red Light Spells Danger', but it was this 1984 album that gave him his first entry in the Album Charts. The album spawned hits such as 'Loverboy', 'Suddenly' and a cover of 'The Long and Winding Road', but it was lead single 'Caribbean Queen' which became Billy's most acclaimed work.
The track reached number six in the UK, topped the US charts and earned him a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B performance. Billy is marking the fortieth anniversary of the album's release with a limited run of the album on ocean blue vinyl.
