Description Billy Ocean - Here You Are: The Music of My Life is a special single-disc that brings together 10 new Billy Ocean performances alongside five of the classic hits that made him one of the most popular UK recording artists of the 1980s. A thematic collection celebrating the songs that informed, influenced and inspired Billy's own music, Here You Are: The Music of My Life features his new composition, "Here You Are," and "A Simple Game" as well as Ocean's powerfully heartfelt interpretations of standards and classics including "A Simple Game," Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," "No Woman No Cry," "Cry Me A River," "Having a Party," "It Was a Very Good Year," "These Foolish Things," "Judge Not" and "Love Train." An ideal introduction to the artist and an essential addition to any Billy Ocean library, Here You Are: The Music of My Life includes five classic tracks, the original recordings that established the singer-songwriter-performer as a signature sound of 80s pop radio: "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)," "Suddenly," "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car," "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" and "There Will Be Sad Songs (to Make You Cry)."Tracklist Influence and Inspiration - The New Recordings: 1.

The above album is a domestic 1CD distillation of the 2CD set which came out in the UK last year:
Description Here You Are: The Best Of Billy Ocean is a new 2CD unique collection from original King Of Soul, packaged with a career spanning celebration of one of Britain’s biggest stars. Billy is a Grammy award winner with worldwide sales of over 30 million. He hit the number one spot across three continents in the 70s and 80s, counting no fewer than six UK top 10 singles. ‘Caribbean Queen’ stormed to number one on both the US singles chart and US R&B chart, and is amongst Billy’s six US top 10 singles. With top 10 albums the world over, Billy has notched up an impressive three Platinum albums (including two which are certified 2x Platinum). Here You Are features a personal collection of Billy’s interpretations of songs which helped the young Leslie Charles become the Billy Ocean we all know today, alongside a career spanning celebration of his biggest hits. The release coincides with the 30th anniversary of ‘When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going’, which hit the number one spot for four consecutive weeks in the UK on its release in 1986. Disc 1 features a personally curated selection of tracks covered by Billy Ocean, chosen for their influence on him both musically and in his personal life.
