Concert Of Legends: Billy Ocean
Ìý
Billy Ocean has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime. He has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum records across the world and hit the number one spot worldwide on pop charts including the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland and the UK.
Ìý
Billy has achieved extraordinary success as both an artist and a songwriter. Born in Trinidad, Billy settled in London’s East End when he was just seven years old.
Ìý
Billy got his first break when he signed to GTO records, for whom his second single was the Motown-ish Love Really Hurts Without You, which reached number two in the UK charts and number 12 in the US.
Ìý
Two top twenty singles followed – Love on Delivery and Stop Me, then Red Light Spells Danger became a smash in both the UK and the US.
Ìý
Billy changed record labels and his move to Jive Records provided instant success, with the million selling American number one single Caribbean Queen for which Billy won a Grammy for best R&B Vocal.
Ìý
His other hits include Loverboy, Suddenly and the now classic Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car.

Concert Of Legends: Paul Carrack
Ìý
The Â鶹ԼÅÄ dubbed Carrack ‘The Man with the Golden Voice’, while Record Collector remarked: “If vocal talent equalled financial success, Paul Carrack would be a bigger name than legends such as Phil Collins or Elton John.
Ìý
Carrack rose to prominence in the mid-1970s as the frontman and principal songwriter of Ace, and gained further recognition for his work as a solo artist and for his tenures as a member of Roxy Music, Squeeze and Roger Waters’ backing band, The Bleeding Heart Band, intermittently handling lead vocals on Squeeze and Waters recordings.
Ìý
From the mid-1980s to the early 2000’s, he enjoyed considerable success as the co-frontman and a songwriter for Mike + The Mechanics.
Ìý
Carrack’s songs have been recorded by artists such as the Eagles, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Michael McDonald and Jools Holland, and he has served as a session and/or touring musician for the likes of Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, B.B. King, The Pretenders and The Smiths.
