The 70's was when music was music, with real instruments & real vocals with NO AUTO-TUNE!!! Besides "Baby Come Back" maybe we should be singing "Music Come Back!!!"
Just that unbelievable sound we all loved in the 70s. It is truly a shame that this was their only super hit, but boy oh boy, it was (and still is) special.
That was a classic #1 Pop song by Player with a funny feel and great lead vocals by Peter Beckett and harmony by the group! Great instrumentation, climaxed with Beckett's amazing guitar solo!
THE GROUP AMBROSIA, BEEGEES, AND MANY MORE THATS ALL MY GENERATION OF MUSIC AND IT CAN BE YOURS TOO LOVE TO SEE YOUNGER PEOPLE LOVING THE 70S ERA OF MUSIC WAS THE BEST GROWING UP LISTENING TO THESE AWESOME GROUPS GODBLESS ENJOY HAVE FUN WE DID AND STILL DO
Takes me back to my youth. That was a big hit back in the day. Check out Ambrosia "Your The Only Woman", "How Much I Feel", and "Biggest Part of Me". Great love songs.
Back then all I had was a record player and a 45 record to play. I played this song so much i actually had to purchase the record 5 different times and had to replace the phonograph needle twice. That is a lot, a lot of playing.
The classic cool sounds of the 1970's has a magic all it's own, and it is exemplified in this song very well. Too bad we don't hear this style anymore.
A band called Starbuck from the same time frame released a song called Moon Light Feels Right It hit the charts at the same time, it's worth the listen
The guy playing bass with the red shirt is RON MOSS who in the 80's played the character RIDGE FORRESTER in the famous SOAPIE called THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL.
Miss. I loved your reaction to Player. I loved that song also - for many reasons. That song came out in 1977, and I retired from the U.S. Air Force that year, after 20 years. I got divorced that year - the military has a tendency of doing that to families. Lots of separations. But, in 1977 my wonderful Son was 15 years old. A really good young man. He finished HS, and he finished College, and he also retired from the Air Force with 24 years of service. He's now a Grandfather. Wow. All of that said, I loved Player and this song. Like I said, many memories. Thanks for playing it. I love your channel. You, Miss, are a wonderful young woman.,
I am so grateful I got to live through and experience all of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. I know I’m old now but I wouldn’t trade it. I do feel bad for the younger generations. I feel like they missed out.
If you look very carefully, the Guy in The Orange Shirt is Ronn Moss who played Ridge Forrester #1 on The Bold & The Beautiful from 1987-2002. This Song next to How Much I Feel by Ambrosia and Sara Smile by Hall & Oates were some of the very few Songs by a White Act to be played on a Black Radio Station in Ohio.
Surprised this band was not so much bigger. Those three guys were so handsome and sang great songs. If they were in the MTV era they would have been huge.
they were pretty big . their one song is a classic played on the radio and satellite formats everyday 45 years after it was recorded ...you need more than one hit song to big a huge enduring household name musical act...good looks don't make up for lack of hit songs ...
Just imagine that the music that you are reacting to was just common everyday music that was on the radio Without a doubt my generation was blessed with phenomenal and wonderful artists that had incredible talent over such a wide spectrum you could turn on the radio and listen to Crosby stills Nash and then Marvin Gaye and then Elton John and then The Bee Gees and then REO Speed wagon and then Jimmie Hendrix etc etc and know the words to all of their songs pretty cool thanks for your videos Semper Fidelis The Gunny
AMBROSIA is a band you would enjoy. Try That's How Much I Feel, or You're The Only Woman, or Biggest Part Of Me.. The group BREAD would be another the song Diary, or I Would Give Everything I Own. One more band would be England Dan and John Ford Coleyrhe song LOVE IS THE ANSWER.
This song came on at my workplace and my Afro American best friend said...hey it's the Beegees. I said no bro its Player and he still kept arguing. Lol
Even funnier is that Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates said this song is their most requested song at their shows. Hate to admit it , but for a long time i thought it was Hall & Oates too ! Lol
70's "Soft Rock". This is a deep rabbit hole with some wonderful discoveries you'll find along the way. 10 CC, Al Stewart, Jerry Rafferty, Ambrosia, Bread, Atlanta Rhythm Section..... You're going to have material for a LONG time!!
If I'm not mistaken Dariyl Hall and John Oates wrote this song and gave it to them to record..... Great song.... You can almost picture Hall &Oates singing it...
One of the smoothest bands ever. People used to think this song was by Hall and Oats because it sounded so similar to southing they would do. In fact, Daryl Hall would joke to the band that this was he most requested song from fans, lol even though he didn't do the song! Of course the guys in Player probably thought that was the ultimate compliment to them that people would get them mixed up with a super star group like Hall and Oats.
I do like "Amanda" by Boston that someone mentioned. 2 other beautiful ballads by Boston are "Livin' for You" - very underrated but a top-tier love song, and "Man I'll Never Be" - which is a great song.
'Baby Come Back' has an easy lope, recorded with clean precision. "There was something in everything about you" The lyrics say I care, yet the music says actually I don’t care at all. It’s a weirdly compelling combination.
Wonderful record and almost the only American number one in a six month period that Barry Gibb didn't write, though he probably doesn't mind if people assume he had.
Are you aware the bass player for this band (in the orange shirt) is Ron Moss who played Ridge Forrester for many many years on the soap opera "Bold and the Beautiful"???
Now do you understand why I want to go back to my life in the 70's (even if just for a while) and bring you with me?! We would have my mom drop us of at the skating rink and check out the boys before the "couples skate" songs were announced, LOL 🤣 - Joni
First time here. Glad to see you smile and giggle. First minute looked like you were muggin and somebody was going to get their arse handed to them! Like what you did here.
Love your reactions. May I suggest Peabo Bryson - Can you stop the rain. Peabo is one of the best male singers of all time. Also Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright -With you I'm born again. One of the most perfect duets ever recorded. Thank you for what you do.
