Thanks for the reaction. My husband, Peter Beckett, who wrote and sang this song, is also from England. Daryl Hall told him once that Baby Come Back was one of Hall & Oates most requested songs even though they had nothing to do with it :)

Love Player and this song. It has been a radio favorite growing up. Another band to check is Ambrosia with their "How Much I Feel". Great track. ❤🇦🇺

Ronn Moss went on to be a soap opera star from 1987 to 2012 on The Bold and the Beautiful. He’s the bassist.

These guys have said that whenever Darryl Hall would cross paths with them, he would joke to them that this was his most requested song from his fans, lol. :-D

If you love these guys, you will love the band Ambrosia!! How Much I Feel is one of their best!!🎶🎵🎶

"Diamonds in my ears." I'll have to use this line of yours. Brilliant!!!

One of my favorite 70's song. There were so many awesome groups in 70's making beautiful music.

Yes this was a HUGE HUGE hit back in 70's! Fantastic harmony indeed!!

ANOTHER ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR,, 10CC "I'M NOT IN LOVE" 1975

A major song from my childhood in the 70s.

Great reaction!!! "Baby Come Back'' is one of my all-time favorite songs!!! It's one of those songs that's an integral part of my teen years!!! I can't find anything wrong with the song, except that the guitar solo at the end could have been longer!!!

The song is awesome. The vocals, the spacing of picking on electric guitar, instead of just speed, was phenomenal. The 70s guitars can speak to me. Such a great listening song. Sung beautifully, to get my baby back. 👏👍👏

Thanks Harri. This is new to me too. What voices and talents. And this was before auto tune. And my goodness these are one bunch of the handsomest guys I ever did see. Maybe they are real life players, and named so. 😮

"This time I'm in it for love" that's a great song by player as well.

Still on my playlist to this day👌☮️❤️

The bassman is Ronn Moss, and he got a job playing Ridge Forrester on the American soap opera "Bold and the Beautiful." Hall & Oates was first. As far as I know, Player was a one-hit wonder.

How God blessed us with Ears

Out of ALL, the reaction videos to this song, you're the ONLY one who heard the Congas👍👍👍👍

That 70s sound was EVERYWHERE in the 70s, 80s and a little in the 90s.

For another great song from this era that I might suggest is Paul Davis (I go Crazy ) it's worth a listen weather you get to it in a reaction or not. Thanks my friend. PEACE

One of my All time favorites absolutely love that song the Harmony is Beautiful!!

I was 13 when this song came out and loved it immediately. To this very day, it feels like I am hearing it for the first time. I love music and listen to it all the time and this one has got to be in my top 5. It never gets old.

AMBROSIA. Biggest part of me. You’re the ONLY Woman!! How MUCH I FEEL.

Harri, you nailed the similarity to "She's Gone" by Hall & Oates. If you liked this, you will like Ambrosia. Both bands releasing songs in the late 70s, yacht rock.

Also a touch of Little River Band in the vocal harmonies. Harri, have you done any Little River Band yet?

Back in the mid to late 70's there were more than a few tunes like this. I remember this being on the radio, and it was popular and sold really well, but nobody I knew thought it was that big of a deal because there was so much great music being made at that time. Back then the radio was actually worth listening to even with all the commercials. Maybe I missed it somehow, but I don't remember Player ever having another song that got much radio play. If you haven't already, you might want to check out The Brothers Johnson. They were on the radio in the late 70's as well. I suggest a tune called "Strawberry Letter 23."

So great, i just stop everything to hear everytime i catch it playing somewhere.

The other big hit from Player is: "This time I in it for love"

This Time I’m in it For Love another great song by them.

This song falls into the category called " yacht rock " here in the uk ❤️ One of my favourite 70's songs ❤️

This song's intro is one the best ever IMO. Could listen to it for hours !

The Little River Band for sure. Also Ambrosia The 70’s were great! Great music and actual musicians not auto tuned.

On The Simpsons, Homer lost Maggie (the baby) one time. He called the missing baby hotline and the on-hold music was this song.

Your description of the bands that this band encompasses is spot on!

Clllllllasic 70's song .looooovvvve it !!!! The soundtrack of my life .....

I'm from Brazil and I listened to this song a lot straight from the time tunnel

I remember grooving with the ladies on the dance floor...freshman in high school when this came out..Hall & Oates vibe to me. Smoooooooth...love this tune.

I'm from England and never heard this back in the either !! Why it's so what I grew up with and love it.

One word......... HARMONIES. This does have that Bee Gees, Eagles vibe with the great harmonies. The only other "hit" that I can recal by Player was " This Time I'm In It For Love ".

The genre you should be checking out is what we (now) in the USA call "Yacht Rock". It's full of stuff like this. High production values, generally uptempo music from the 70's thru the VERY early 80's

Bruv, big respect to you and your comments... You know your music 🎶 and appreciate great music, awesome tunes and amazing vocals... that's the 70,s bro.. Real music and real sounds played by real musicians with real talent, not some laptop ir computer software crap.. Remember ,1st time i heard 🎧 this back in 78👏, i went out and bought the single 🎼🎶 i knew these guys were magic 🤘and hearing it again brought back good memories 🤙🙏.. The tune, the harmony, the music arrangement all top notch, Peter Becketts vocals 🎶 pure magic and his guitar solo absolutely right on the number ☑️....like you man, could listen to this over and over..Already downloaded to my mobile...thanks once again and keep those turntables turning..🙏👏🙏

This is one of my favorite songs, I’m 53 years old, and I know a lot of music! This is part of a sub rock genre called yacht rock hits from the 70s and 80s a beautiful time beautiful music you have to listen to more yacht rock songs

The “lighter side of rock” is what they called it back in the day, lots of if to be had, radio stations that only played soft rock.

This time I'm in for love by Player is fantastic also

THE GREATEST MUSIC IN THE DECADE TO FALL IN LOVE AND THEN GET YOUR HEART BROKE AND MUSIC WAS OUR THEOPHY AND GET MY SELF TOGETHER ❤

Another great song that always reminds me of this one (for some reason) is "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia. I'm sure you will love that one just as much.

Another great reaction by you,sir. They are still around and have changed many band members,but have a Greatest Hits album.One of their best is “ This Time I’m In it For Love”.

Player was riding the charts in 1977, I was 13 when this came out and it was all over the radio, also just in case anyone watched soap opera's, the dude in the red outfit was Ron moss of "the bold and the beautiful " he played bass,

I love seeing people discover our music!! And you're absolutely correct when you said there is so much more of our music to discover! Enjoy your journey my friend!!

I've literally been listening to the song all day... and yesterday.

On the sound, in the intro, I agree, it does sound like Hall & Oats. I think the whole song reminds me of The Eagles and Bee Gees as well due to 2 factors; the lyrics are complex, but they're delivered in a simple and direct manner and those 2 things were definitely found a lot in The Eagles and Bee Gees (i.e. Lying Eyes and How Deep is Your Love).

Great Number One song from Player! I remember buying this record all those years ago. They had a follow up to this called..This Time I'm in It For Love which reached #10 on the charts in the USA & #6 here in Canada but most have forgotten it and label Player a One Hit Wonder. They were actually a two hit wonder. 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦

Great song.

👍 I did hear thus in early 80s & liked it but glad to be reunited with it & appreciate it so much more now 🥰🫶

One of my favorite songs growing up me and my friends played it all the time when I was a teenager great song great memories

I agree. A superb song in every way!

You know you’re dope & down with it for real when you can work this line into a song: “all day long wearing a mask of false bravado” (& make it work).

Those good old 70s. I was 20 something when this came out sometime in the mid to late 70s. Now I'm 65, and it's just as good, if not better. Great memories.

Remember this sleeping in the back out of those Summer Nights Sacramento thinking about the girl a junior high that I wanted to be with but you didn't even know who I was man brings back memories

They had one more minor hit that was a good song called "This Time I'm In it for Love."

A MiniMoog synth, quite a thrilling sound to hear. Incredible 1960s solid state analog electronic keyboard!

43 year old song. One hit wonder I think. #1 1978 Not sure of any of their other songs. My son was born when this was a huge hit!

Love this one! Unfortunately, nothing else came from them..but some other awesome groups to check out with similar vibes are Ambrosia, Little River Band, Christopher Cross, Air Supply, The Babys, Climax Blues Band, Pablo Cruise, Atlantic Rhythm Section and Seals and Croft to name a few,lol Keep On Rockin`

Amazing song every time I hear it!

Still remember going to my 8th grade dance in my red button-down-big-lapel shirt and hoping to dance with Dana to this. We did.

Perfect likes

Ron Moss, the bassist of the Player band, was the actor in the The Bold and the Beautiful.

Harri, YOU KNOW your music. It's a joy watching your reviews.

"Shame on the Moon" by Bob Seger, "Super Bowl Shuffle" by the Chicago Bear(Super Bowl XX), "19" by Paul HardCastle. All from the 80's, yet as different as night and day.

The base player is Ronn Moss, later famous for his part as Ridge in the american soap The Bald and the Beautiful..

Great music from a great era.

gino vanelli,i just wanna stop,you must hear, great reactions my friend

❤

I knew this song was gonna be so you. It's a cool mellow groove. Like when you're driving or having dinner with your lady. Good reaction to a good song.

Great song

Love those classic bass lines, put down by Ronn Moss.

one hit wonders,

Great reaction Harri! Hello from Canada! One of my fave songs when I was a teeny bopper. If you like this song, try Kenny Chesney, Somewhere with you. He is country and you will enjoy It. Studio version is more funky! God Bless!

I have always loved this song. Check out" Prisoner of Love". I agree that you will love Ambrosia. Also from that era, Paul Davis , "I go crazy". Be still my heart💓

Classic. Like everyone else here has said if you like this you have to do Ambrosias songs How Much I Feel, You're the Only Woman, and Biggest Part of Me. It will be diamonds in your ears! Also agree on LRB (Little River Band).

I pulled my ear plug out of my phone so my wife could hear it and after about 10 seconds she grabbed my hand and headed for the bedroom lol. We are both 65 and 'Boy Howdy' did we play it alot.

I so agree with your assessment! Spot on!

Yes i agree I thought it was a Hall and Oates song when heard it back in the 80s as a kid haha. I think you’ll love Doobie Brothers and Ambrosia if you like this song.

This is my favorite song from my teenage years. Loved it then, love it now.

I’ve had a crush on Ron Moss (bassist) since I was 12!

I appreciate and acknowledge your love of love- Dig this little almost forgotten gem of 1970’s summers - “Love Will Find A Way” Pablo Cruise Enjoy

Man me and my dad use to strum this shit out on the porch. The good ol' days! Thank you!

Have always loved this song, thanks Harry for the memories.

I’ve listened to this song over and over and love it. Came out the year my second son was born. Such a sweet time for music, 1977.

Great band

One of my all time favorite songs! Thank you for reviewing it! When singing was raw and pure!

Yes! Fantastic song. Regards from Brazil Harri.

Good reaction men....

Most excellent!

Love that you love this band brother \m/

I'm so glad I found you. I love your openmindedness to give any song a chance with no predicted notions

Peter Beckett, the lead singer & guitar soloist was the only Brit in the band. The guy in the red jacket went on to be a soap opera star for years.

Hi Mr. Harri, I agree very very good song.. ♠W.G.

I know I'm late with my comment. But I came across you on youtube and a song that you reacted to, I hadn't heard in so long. So when I clicked on you I discovered that you react to music from my days. I subscribed to you about four days ago and I can't get enough of all this fantastic music that I so loved. Thank you so much... :)

Great song. Great reaction
