Love Really Hurts Without You comes from that early run, all stomping rhythm and big, aching melody. Then came the 1980s, and a second act that made him one of the decade's most dependable hitmakers on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide one is a near-perfect sequence. When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, the theme from The Jewel of the Nile, kicks things off in high spirits, and the turbo-charged Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car sounds like a car chase set to a drum machine. Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run), the song that won him a Grammy, shimmers with synth-funk confidence, and the slow-dance ballads scattered across both sides give the party a chance to catch its breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat ties it all together is that voice: warm, elastic and irrepressibly upbeat even when the lyrics are falling apart. Ten songs, no dead weight, and a fine case for keeping this one within arm's reach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763359613218,"sku":"886976969318","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Billy_Ocean-The_Very_Best_of_Billy_Ocean_Holland_Import.jpg?v=1794324001","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/billy-ocean-the-very-best-of-billy-ocean-holland-import","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
