"Caribbean Queen" is a song by Billy Ocean. Co-written and
co-produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, it climbed to number
one on both the soul singles and Hot 100, in the U.S.. and
number six in the UK in 1984.
The song was recorded under different titles for different
parts of the world—resulting in versions such as "European
Queen" and "African Queen."
In 2004, the song was re-released as a digital single for
its 20th anniversary, shooting up to #25 on the Billboard
digital singles chart and garnering radio play across the US
and UK.
A remix of the single by Will.I.Am was released in 2005, and
it later appeared on Pitchfork's "Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s"
countdown, at #87.
