This reaction is in my top tier of music reactions. One I will revisit every few weeks, if not more frequently than that. It has it all -- a fantastic song, a cool music video, and a fun-tabulous reaction from two amazing people.

Back in highschool (late 70's) this kind of music was on FM radio all day long. Real singers, real musicians, playing lovely songs.

I’m 69 yrs old and yes we had the best music period. These bands were for real no auto tune just pure talent

Another shining example of how songs were performed in 70s and 80s. You had to know how to sing and play your instrument. Period! No autotune, etc. Just very talented people.

How the drummer does the tick,tick,tick,tick in 16 time beat through out the entire song without his wrist falling off is quite amazing.

another band like Player was Ambrosia they really had soul

As I watch more and more young reactors listening to 70s songs, it confirms again and again what I've been saying for years: 70s were the best. We were spoiled because the radio was full of songs like this. Song after song, after song after song. I guess we just took it for granted, but we didn't know. Now we do. Great stuff.

Now you understand why growing up in the 70’s were the greatest 👍❤️

On Friday's and Saturday night all of the local radio stations took requests and dedications. If you really wanted a girl to take notice or make-up after a break up there wasn't anything better than to request something like this or a smooth love song. She would hear it and so would everyone within that radio station's reach.

Wow! How I miss the 70's!!!!!! If I could only go back in time!!! Great reaction. Great song!!!!

Great song. The bass player in the red shirt is Ron Moss who went on to act in the soap opera The Bold and Beautiful

Man this song hit #1 on the billboards chart in 1977, definitely a great song!!

Yes, some guys did. I was a teenager to a young adult in the 70s and I experience an array of music as a young black woman -- soul, disco ,soft rock. Music made our world. Such a happy time. I love the 70s.

Being a teenager in the 70s was awesome. Wish we could freeze time to just the 70s.

I miss the 70's. I love watching your reactions to the music I grew up with.

We made & gave each other themed mixed tapes. Which we created by sitting by the radio with the cassette player paused on record--so as soon as the DJ stopped talking we could un-pause & record the song we wanted to add to the mix. It could take weeks to fill the cassette tape especially if your local DJs were super talkative & ruined the intro.

Songs like this are why 70's music will live forever. Real musicians playing their own instruments, writing songs that tell a story from the heart. I'm so glad I grew up listening to artists like this.

If you wrote that song for her she would be back for sure!

The bass player, Ron Moss went on to get hella famous playing Ridge Forrester in the soap opera the Bold and the beautiful.

70s was the best decade for music! Yacht rock, classic rock, disco, motown, heavy metal, folk music , pop were all awesome !!

Imagine yourself back in the '70s like I was... How could you NOT like this?😉Real musicians, Real music!!

70's were awesome. Every car had a 8 track ,cassette or FM radio. We would drive around and see other cars with our friends going by listening to the same song singing and shaking our heads to the music. Great times

Love your channel 🖤. This African American grandma (and the culture) love some Player "Baby come back" . This song spent time on the R&B/Soul charts "in the day". YAAAAAS. One of my all time favorite songs. "You can blame it all on me, I was wrong, and I just can't live without you". Smooth. 🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤

45 years since I heard this song. I remembered every word! Great music just stays with you.

This song never gets stale. - probably heard it on the 70s channel 3 times this week alone

One of the great groups and songs of the 70s. Wore out the record playing it so much. They had a few other hits such as This Time I’m In It For Love. Player reminded me a lot of Ambrosia. Similar sound. Thanks to you both for reacting to Player. Love your channel. 👏👏😊🇨🇦

The 70s were absolutely incredible. Great musicianship and vocals. Lyrics packed with emotion and meaning. Music that would get in your head and you would find yourself humming it in the shower.

"I must have been thru a thousand girls; I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone. I didn't care how much they cried; no, sir. Their tears left me cold as a stone... but then I fooled around and fell in love." --- those lyrics are from "Fooled Around & Fell In Love" by Elvin Bishop. Please give it a listen.

Girl, you are on to something with your analysis. In the 60s and 70s there was an explosion of talented people that wanted to be musicians who grew up listening to the black artists from previous decades, the Motown artist and black sole artists. Eventually years later that surge of artists were given a label, they called it "Blue Eyed Soul" groups like Hall & Oats, you could instantly hear the influence that black American artists had on their sound.

This song has been reviewed so many times because its SO good. Lyrics music and performance. Great song. Great Era

As a teenager of the 70s, I can confirm that guys in my neighborhood were forming singing groups/bands to impress us girls. We LOVED our music!

I heard this daily as a kid on the radio. 70's had so Many GREAT songs...

Love this song.I haven't heard it in years

Oh YEAH BABY COME BACK 😮 MEMORIES FOR SURE ❤❤

I was a young teenager in the ‘70’s, listening to this kind of music, skating at the roller rink, not a care in the world, except getting home before the street lights came on!

Im a 80`s guy but i know the 80's era was fueled by the 70's. So props, every era and generation have their predecessors

Yes, we had the best songs! Can you imagine all the amazing variety in music we grew up with? Didn't appreciate it back then but now I definitely do!

Yaaaaaas one of my favs!!!!!! I grew up listening to this. I love this genre, it goes by many names like yacht rock, soft rock and my favorite blue eyed soul!!!! There were so many amazing groups in that genre like The Bee Gees, Steely Dan, Bread, Boz Scaggs, Hall and Oates, America, Ambrosia, Michael Mcdonald, The average white band etc........ So many for you guys to check out. If you haven't already.

I was a teenager during the 70s (class of '78) and I was inspired to learn to play guitar in 1974 from the influences of James Taylor, John Denver, Cat Stevens, etc. A friend of mine and I had a duet thing going, doing Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young and so on. Since it was a small town/school, we played at the Homecoming Coronation and our band played at our graduation. But I NEVER took my guitar and serenaded a girl from outside her home!😅

Great reaction to this classic T&T! Here's the thing. The trick is to take your girl for a ride and have this playing on the tape deck so low it acts as a subliminal message for your apology! PsyOps 101! Here's another great one from the 70's - Smoke From A Distant Fire by The Sanford-Townsend Band on the Midnight Special!

The decade of musical magic. Loved watching you both enjoy this 70's special.

You’re right the 70’s was the best, not only great R&B but songs like this made the top ten on R&B charts. Glad you are appreciating them.

Man ohhh man !!! Those were the days ……. Some of the best music ever written, performed, and produced …….. This was my era…. My children would listen when I played a lot of these oldies, I’d start dancing, and they followed along ….. Dogs ….. those were the days, keep playing these GREAT songs, it will make more memories flood back!!!!😘😘

Miss this music!

Love this song it's been on my layed back music list for long time.

yep -- the 70's is the best yrs for modern music both rock and soul ...

I'm so glad I watched your reaction because I haven't listened to this song and remembered how awesome our music was.....we and the world was tremendously BLESSED!

The 1970s definitely had the best music. The singer songwriters were very creative and talented. I'm so glad I was a teenager back then. Another group you would like is Ambrosia, they had a lot of great songs including "How much I feel", "Biggest part of Me" and ""You're the only woman."

You two are GREAT! I love seeing people really enjoying good music. And you two DEFINITELY were enjoying this song. I grew up in this decade and we had the BEST music. You can't convince me otherwise. And YES, guys really would do the "boombox" thing begging women to take them back or just give them a chance. It wasn't something made up by the movies, it used to actually happen. You have gained a subscriber here with your honest reactions!👍👍

This was a high school hit. I remember driving around with my buddies and it would come on the radio. That was the big difference you usually had to wait and hope to catch it on the radio.

Honey, this was on the Pop and Soul charts. Everyone loved this song. Black and White people alike. It was that song..❤❤❤

You used to be able to call in to the radio stations and request a song for your girl or guy either asking forgiveness or to say your sorry, or if you liked a girl you could dedicate a song to her on the radio, etc. I used to call in requests for certain songs at our local radio station. Fun times!❤

i turned 13 in 1980 and all this 70s rock was still lingering around on the radio. We only had 4 channels on tv and one was a PBS channel you could only pick up on clear days lol. I never had a tv in my room as a teen. I had a stereo with 8 track, cassette, radio, and a turn table. Music was our lives as 70s and 80s teens.

This is part of the singer songwriter from 1970 to 1980 good song great live band

This song was released in 1977 right at the heart of disco. Good music can transcend any hot music of the time.

Definitely a chic song. It was cool watching you two have so much fun enjoying this song. You guys keep it real and it is transparent.

... and there's a lot more where this came from ... namely, THE 70'S !!! This is one of my all-time favorite reactions -- 1 --- because of the beauty of the song, and 2 --- because of the beauty of the reactors -- the inner beauty. Two sweet, real people. And yeah -- you're both beautiful outside as well. 😊 How this song affected you guys was moving. I thought I had watched the reactions for this song from all of my subscribed-to RVCs. As soon as I saw this video in my queue, I clicked on it. Glad y'all decided to react to it. How did she find this one? Google, she said. A little surprised y'all are just now finding this song. It's a popular one on RVCs. I am looking forward to watching your "Soft rock/Yacht rock" video. Tons of great songs in that category from the greatest decade in modern music -- the 70's . Keep on with y'all's bad selves. Oh yeah -- I lived at "that time." We DID this.

Brings back so many memories of sunny days by the pool…and the radio playing this song and many others. Good times…great memories.

My era was the 70's. Best bands, best singers and groups. I still listen to those songs. This one was a favorite of mine.

Pure passion, big talent and uplifting... That's what I remember of music growing up in the 70s and 80s and there were so many great songs like this on the radio.

This is one of my most favorite songs. And to answer your question, did guys really do that? Yes they did! 😍

Bass player, Ron Moss, was an actor --- he also spent 5 years on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

You said it right! 70's best music and this is one of the best songs ever! Player knocked it out of the park!

The groups in the 70's that always released a killer ballad on every album. The Stylistics, The Dramatics, New Birth, Earth Wind and Fire, The Isley Brothers, The Commodores, Ohio Players, Cameo, Bootsy's Rubberband, 4 Tops, The Temptations, The Jackson 5 ( Got to Be There, Darling Dear, Never Can Say Goodbye, I'll Be There, ) Just the male groups I related too that made it Ok for a teenage high school jock to right poetry for a girl and not be ashamed when she read it to her friends in class. LOL.

How many 'young' people today knows what false bravado means? Back in the day songs were poetry set to music. there was bittersweet and sugar romance. none of that in today's music which is kind of vulgar and violent and very boring. I love to see younger generations watching and hearing the music that told stories of hope, dreams, faith and love.

So fortunate. Born in 68, all these 70s songs are the soundtrack to my childhood, with my entire teens in the 80s decade, with all those awesome tunes. So lucky.

I can see and feel the 70s when I hear this song .. pure magic 🥰🤩🤗

Here's a prime example of '70s greatness... Little River Band, "Night Owl"...

T been a while…but did you hear that bass???

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE by MOTHER'S FINEST.....best rock band ever!!!!!!!

I'm glad people can listen to the kind of music. I grew up in high school with. We loved and respected our women ❤️

The bass player played Ridge Forrester on "The Bold and the Beautiful" soap opera for 25 years starting in the 1987.

Graduated in 78, this kind of stuff was on the radio all day, all night, the decade was chocked full of great tunes like this. This one definitely one of the best.

I was born in 1979, but I find myself loving a lot of the music from that decade even though I wasn't alive yet to hear most of it and an infant for the rest of it. This drummer is a badass.

THESE GROUPS BACK IN THE DAY.... HAD NO IDEA WHAT A VOICE OVER WAS THIS IS PURE TALENT SUCH GREAT MEMORIES 💕🇺🇸🦅

This song takes me back to when I was a kid llving on base in Okinawa in the 70's. Some Saturday evenings I would lay in bed gazing at the green glow of fireflies outside my window while listening to music on the Far East Network's single AM radio station late into the night.

Have always loved this song. Born in 59 so I was so lucky to have the 70's music during my teens. I never knew what Player looked like though until the pandemic got me hooked on youtube.Thanks for the reaction.

Oh man..memories! I was like 8 or 9 years old when this came out and the skating rink was the “it” hangout for kids then..skated many many Saturday nights to this song. The great Peter Beckett belting out that blue eyed soul! He’s still going strong today though I believe just he and the bass player are still together as Player.

So many skilled musicians back in the day

The 70' and the 80's were such a great time for music!

We will do whatever it takes to get that girl back I wasn’t born when this song came out but in the 80s Hall & Oates did it and it was worth it all

1977 this song hit #1 on billboard's hot 100!

Inteteresting factoid about Player: Ron Moss, the dark headed one on guitar and vocals (the guy in red) left Player to get into acting and wound up originating the role of the popular character "Ridge" on The Bold and the Beautiful.

As a 70s baby. I grew up listening to some of the best music ever to be made. No matter what you wanted to listen to Soft Rock, Hard Rock, County, Blues, Soul and, or Rap. 50s-up to mid 90s music was all we had. We didn't have phones to hold all day. Games to distract us from responsibilities. The Internet and Grudge almost killed Rock in late 90s. Country has forgotten that it is country. Rap all sounds the same with no real point these days. Not sure if any one is even attempting new Blues or Soul music anymore. But, i will say Rock is making/has made a come back. Great music speaks to everyone and it transcends time. This is why James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Whitney Houston, Otis Redding, etc ,etc will live on forever. Great song writing, musicians, singers ,and performer's will survive as long as there's someway to play/listen to it. Times may change but life will not. Struggles and triumphs will need music. Unless things change. That 40 year period will always remain the greatest time to have been alive. Like The Bee Gees said "Stayin Aliiiiive!!"✌🏻

Listening to this music is like entering a time machine. The years melt away and I am young again! We had the best music.

I too grew up with this music. Another band with this kind of harmony was Little River Band. They were more know for their ballads, but Lonesome Loser is one of their soft rock songs similar to this song.

Jr high school for me 12 when I first heard this on the radio, would not give up those years for the world, it was great being a kid back then

This tune was in heavy rotation in late 70's at the local Skating ladies loved it .... definitely a Banger

Born in 1966 and graduated in 1985. The best years of my life! Great music!🤘😁

Takes me back to my high school years. Loveeed this song❤

One of our favorite tunes. There are so many wonderful songs from the 70s just like this that my wife and I absolutely love. I was 10 when it came out. I remember it playing on the radio. I could tell it was a great song even back then as a kid.

Great reaction!!! You gave this song it's just due. Great song.

70,s had some of the best songs yet,grew up to these songs

I am one of the youngest of our circle of family, relatives, and extended family, and it was an advantage growing up during the 70s and 80s because if not for the older cousins, I wouldn't have known songs from the 60s and 70s. It is such a pleasure and with great gratitude that we listened on their radios and vinyls to songs like this...

The 70s. Song after song and group after group. You didnt know what was coming next on the radio but you knew it was going to be good!!

The 70's had the GREATEST MUSIC of modern music! No other era compares! Every genre of music belongs to the 70's. The diversity all bands had in their music repertoire was and is so special.

Why it's been one of my favorites for decades. I grew up with this amazing music. Yay me!

This reaction was 🔥 one of my favorite songs

You are so right about the 70s songs. I grew up then, and this just brings me back! Great reaction, guys.

We would call the local radio station and request a song to be played and they would send a dedication out to your special someone...Man I miss the 70s and 80s.
