John LockwoodMarch 12, 2021
Born Leslie Sebastian Charles, aka Billy Ocean (the "Caribbean Queen" guy), this Trinidadian singer had a string of international hits in the 1980s... and "When the Going Gets Tough (the Tough Get Going)" was one of the big ones.
Featured in the 1985 movie "Jewel of the Nile", the video features Ocean with "Nile" stars Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito as backup singers lip-syncing during the "performance."
And Danny playing sax during the solo? Not!
