News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Jan. 27, 2016: Caribbean-born star Billy Ocean last night proved he is still relevant, making a splash on ‘The Tonight Show’ to promote his upcoming tenth studio album.

Ocean, a Trinidadian-born English recording artist who had a string of R&B international pop hits in the 1970s and 1980s, succumbed to Jimmy Fallon and the audience alike and performed the Grammy Award-winning “Caribbean Queen” backed by The Roots band.

The singer last released a full-length collection in 2013 and is set to tour around Europe this year.
