Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, the last time we caught up with Billy Ocean
was in twenty twenty, and we just loved him. I
think it's fair to say that he has been responsible
for some of the biggest belters of the last forty years.
So he's heading down here for a new tour to
celebrate forty years or the fortieth anniversary of the album Suddenly,
Billy Ocean, Hello, here he is.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Hey, who is this Amanda?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yes, Hello, that's us.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Last time we spoke, you were at a service station
on a ring road, squatted down between the aisles talking to.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Us on tour. I was on tour like I'm about
to go on tour Agaandaru soon.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Well, we can't wait to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The first time I ever laid eyes on you was
the film clip Lovely Hurts Without You. You look great
in your onesie. There were girls in haltered tops and
daisy Duke shorts swaying their bottoms from side to side.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
What an image.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
There was a world called forty years ago, forty fifty
years ago, so yeah, a long time ago. Yeah, that
was my first successful record.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And did you see did you see? Benson?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Byrne recently he was wearing the sam the same onesie
that you were wearing pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
But but did he look as good as I did?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
No, he certainly did not look as good as you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
The last are you going to be wearing that on
this tour?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I look back at that known thank god, how could you?
How could you could like that? I wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So forty years of some of the biggest hits we've
ever had, has the music industry changed or is something
still the same that these songs still hit their mark
all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, some things are still the same. The people in
the people in the industry really don't understand what's going on.
They don't know what they're doing. That that that will
never change. But you know, certain things have changed. Technology,
the sort of approach the songs, the sort of the
methods of recording, the sort of the way we dress,
(02:08):
the way the girls dress, the wather. But yeah, it's
all going a bit, it's all going a little bit crazy.
But music, please go on. Music is music and you
have to accept the changes and accept it for what
it is.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
And also the resurgence for your your stuff and a
lot of stuff from the eighties, the kids are right
into it now. But also when you look at things
like YouTube, you can quite easily just get any of
your stuff and just get on there and watch it
on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well that's good. I mean as far as YouTube and
everything is concerned, it's good. But as far as other
things are concerned. Where at one time there was like
you know, in England, we had something called Top of
the Pops, you had chart shows, you had all these
sort of different things which which kept people like myself
interested and and and and you know, it was a
(02:56):
sort of competitive thing. Now you don't really get that
so much with all this muddern technology, with streaming and
you two, all these different things really which really and
truly I don't really understand too much. But the one thing,
you know, the basic things I still understand, which you're
like trying to write a good song, trying to perform
a good you know, good shop, trying to when you
(03:17):
go into the studio, give it all you could give it,
give it your best, and you know, try and come
out with something that people will appreciate and that will
never change.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Please.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You spend a lot of time on the road, do
you when you get home, do you put your laundry
into a bag and leave it outside the door, forgetting
that you're actually not in a hotel.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
No, when I get back, oh my god, you tell
me about it. I mean, I do all these things myself.
So I get back home, I'll get all my think.
The first thing I do is get my clothes cleaned,
basically my suits and everything else, and you know, and
put it down, because the longer you take it, the
longer you take to get things like that dumb. The
harder it, the harder it becomes. So that's what the
(03:58):
person they do. I get it all clean, at it all,
you know, pressed up nicely, and hang it on waiting
for the next events.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Gets your red onesie ready to go, normal.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Ones ones come on. Then the onesie has made a
resurgence because of you.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Know, normal ones. I don't know the figure.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You've moved into a tuoessie he's got. I like that
we're talking about laundry with you.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I like the idea of abiliation in his laundry using
tide washing powder.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Perhaps no, God, their dray cleanness. There people there, people
that do all that for me.
