5.0 out of 5 stars Where's Billy????, February 27, 2003

Now this is when Billy Ocean was "Billy Ocean". When he had his stint at Epic/Columbia he displayed a new era of 80's soul, along with Loose Ends, Junior, and Imagination, all who were also from overseas but you could never tell. This album and his second long lost out of print "Inner Feelings" are definite classics. This one was out of print for awhile but there are few copies floating around. If you find "Inner Feelings", which is only on vinyl as far as i know it is a keeper, because soon after is when he signed to Jive/RCA and became more "Commercial" with "Carribean Queen", "Suddenly" etc. Not to say that those songs were not good, and yes they did give him grounbreaking attention. But, his first two albums show us a side that few of us have never seen or heard before. Its a definite listen.

I enjoyed this CD very much. There was one song I had been looking for since its release in 1981. Thinking that the song was recorded by Frankie Beverly & Maze, I never found it until now. Thank you. This song was called "What Ever Turns You On."

before billy ocean turned into pop dimension he could easily groove with the touch of fender rhodes, sleek guitar rhythms, taunted bass lines, prophet claps... aside from uplifting dancefloor burners there are nice slow jams that you would like to hear too.. It was originally released by epic records in february of 1981 and some of the songs were remake taken from his previous album 'City Limit' therefore by the late 80's he recorded all the new songs and remakes for 'Nights'. check out the gentle groove on 'whatever turns you on', 'dont say stop' is my favourite cut here. although this version of 'stay the night' is kinda weak go for the 'city limit' version which is more funkier and hard-hitting. overall it's a highly recommended album if you'd like to dig his early works..
