１９５０年１月出生於英屬西印度群島千里達島（今日千里達及托巴哥共和國　１９６２獨立）的比利歐遜（Billy Ocean）（父母是格瑞納達人）是８０年代著名的黑人歌手

１９６０年移居英國

１９６９年開始歌唱事業　但並不順遂

直到１９７６年才以首張大碟的［Love Really Hurts Without You］登上英國榜亞軍走紅

１９８０年  比利推出第二張大碟［City Limit］（GTO唱片）

由Kenneth Gold＆David McKay製作　樂評中上

１９７９年先發的兩首單曲［Lets Put Our Emotions in Motion］［American Hearts］只有後者打入英國榜＃５４

１９８０年初, 歐遜推出第三單曲［Are You Ready／你準備好了嗎］

由比利與Kenneth Gold 合寫, 並製作成一首靈魂放克／後狄斯可

旋律悅耳, 節奏討巧,

［Are You Ready］登上英國單曲榜＃４２　荷蘭＃１３　德國榜＃３７

雖然歐洲成績不算差, 但［City Limit］銷售不佳, 並沒打入任何排行榜

不過現在聽來, ［Are You Ready］仍是首耐聽的靈魂放克／後狄斯可佳作
