Billy Ocean sings about indomitable spirit
This single was released in 1985 and became a huge hit as the theme song for the film "Jewel of the Nile."
"When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" sings of strength in the face of adversity, and Ocean's powerful vocals resonate convincingly. A song that epitomizes the fusion of '80s pop and R&B, the song perfectly balances a catchy melody with a powerful message. Its tie-in with the film cemented Ocean's international success.
