From Suddenly (1984). Suddenly is the fifth studio album by British singer Billy Ocean, released on 12 September 1984 by Jive Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a bright, clean pop-rock pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
