Billy Ocean - Love Zone (1986)

Posted By: popsakov

Date: Sept. 30, 2024

Love Zone is the sixth album recorded by R&B singer Billy Ocean. The album includes the hit singles "Love Zone" and "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)", as well as "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going", which had originally been featured on the soundtrack to the 1985 film The Jewel of the Nile. The album was certified double platinum for shipments of over 2 million copies.

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.
