Billy Ocean is celebrating his 75th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Billy Ocean (Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car, Suddenly, Caribbean Queen, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Ocean, a cultural icon

Born Leslie Sebastian Charles in Fyzabad on January 21, 1950, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Ocean's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Billy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Billy Ocean as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.

Happy Birthday, Billy, you're the best!
