Billy Ocean Concert

I grew up listening to Billy Ocean, probably because my mom had a CD of his greatest hits. I saw that he was coming to the Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club, so I texted my mom immediately and bought tickets.

While I'm not a huge fan of the venue (there is a food and beverage minimum, and the customer service is usually horrible), I figured I'd take a chance to see Mr. Wongo. While the service was still slow, our waiter was very nice and attentive. And since we had eaten dinner beforehand at home, we indulged and split a bottle of prosecco and two yummy desserts.

But besides the tasty treats, the music was great! There were a couple of songs I had never heard, but he also played the songs that everyone was waiting for. The crowd loved him! Here are the songs he performed that night:

Suddenly

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

Love Zone

There'll Be Sad Songs (to Make You Cry)

The Colour of Love

Loverboy

Mystery Lady

Stay the Night

Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car

  Caribbean Queen (definitely the crowd favorite!)

I think "I Sleep Much Better" was the only song he didn't perform that I would have liked to hear:

I thought it was a great concert! But I do hope Mr. Ocean decides to cut his hair. Gray dreadlocks should just not be a thing. He's a good looking man: he shouldn't hide behind that long, old hair!

I couldn't decide whether his weird braid-ponytail looked like rabbit ears or horns...
