About The Record:

Hold On Brother (12" Single), by Billy Ocean, is a rare and sought-after vinyl release featuring the soulful, gospel-influenced title track Hold On Brother, a non-album song co-written by Ocean with producer Wayne Brathwaite. The A-side delivers an extended 12" mix rich with uplifting harmonies and a strong spiritual message, while the B-side includes the instrumental dub version and the exclusive track Shame, which has never appeared on any of Ocean’s studio albums. Though released during the peak of his worldwide fame following the blockbuster success of Suddenly and Love Zone, this single stands out as one of his scarcest commercial releases and is particularly prized by collectors. The title track remains a deep-cut fan favorite for its passionate vocal delivery and message of perseverance. Despite its quality and timing, the single did not chart significantly and is often celebrated more for its rarity than for commercial impact.
