The song's association with the Michael Douglas film \"The Stone of Romancing\" helped propel it to number one in the UK and number two on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Ocean's breakthrough into the American mainstream after years of steady work in the R\u0026amp;B and Caribbean music scenes. What makes this period fascinating is how Ocean, a Trinidad-born artist who'd been grinding it out since the early 70s, suddenly found himself riding the crest of the mid-80s synth-pop wave while maintaining his soulful Caribbean sensibilities.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.comhttps:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/1011653-Billy-Ocean-When-The-Going-Gets-ToughTough-Get-Going\" style=\"color: #1a5276;\"\u003eView on Discogs for additional details.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 20px; padding-top: 12px; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; color: #777; font-size: 0.9em;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetro Revolution Records – Halifax, Nova Scotia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll records are visually graded.
