Ocean was a gospel rock band formed in 1970 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They are best known for their million-selling 1971 single "Put Your Hand in the Hand", penned by Gene MacLellan. The gramophone record sold over one million copies and received a gold disc awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America on 3 May 1971. Ocean consisted of Greg Brown (vocals, keyboard), Jeff Jones (bass, vocals), Janice Morgan (guitar, vocals), Dave Tamblyn (guitar), and Chuck Slater (drums). The album was recorded in Toronto
in 1970 and originally released on the highly collectable Yorkville
label in Canada. The album contained eight songs written by such
notables as Robbie Robertson and Gene MacLellan. The album was picked up in the U.S. by the Kama Sutra
label that also released the band's second album in both the U.S. and
Canada. Ocean managed another hit in Canada with the songs "We've Got a
Dream" and "One More Chance" written by the British songwriting team of Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, but they failed to make any impact in the U.S. and disbanded in 1975 after only two albums.
