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.
Indeed. Sadly, 30 years later it was used for selling Swiffer mops. *sighs* The good news is that good music carries on and most people still are listening to this, discovering it, and digging it.
We were the lucky generation, after auto tune was invented, music went to shit. That and digitization ruined music. There is a young artist poised to bring back good music, Angelina Jordan, 17 and makes this old man sad I won’t see how big of a legend she will become!
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.
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.
Auto tune was the worst thing that could have ever happened to music..that and computer apps/programs that spit out “music/songs” with a few keystrokes, no musical talent necessary. That’s why live concerts these days are mostly older bands like journey, Fleetwood Mac, the eagles etc because these younger “musicians” that can’t sing or play a lick can’t tour..they aren’t musicians…music these days is mostly a joke compared to back then.
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.
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. 🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤
AMEN!!! Another African American grandma here. I jammed to Player and Chicago just like I jammed to Parliament Funkadelics and Daz Band. The music was GOOD! All of it. No matter who played it.
WE GRANDMA' S THAT ARE OUR SIXTIES AND UP HAD SOME OF THE BEST LOVE OF MUSIC. AND THE EMOTIONS WERE EXPRESSED IN THOSE TIMES . ON RADIO, ON THE JUKE BOX, DANCE FLOOR. MUSIC IS A WAY OF EXPRESSING AND IF YOU SING OR ACT ON IT IN THE TRUE WAY ITS AUTHENTIC.. THERE WERE SOME DAMM GOOD TIMES... NOW ITS NOT RESERVED AND DELIVERED NOT WITH VALUES, PRINCIPLES AND MORALS...XOXOXO REMEMBER THAT??? ⚘️⚘️⚘️
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.
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.
"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.
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.
You are so right in every way. I worked hard to save up for a kick ass stacked console - turntable, receiver, tuner, equalizer, dual cassette deck, 4’-5’ speakers (later a CD player)- all bought separately of course. Who could afford the whole set at one time?!!! And, yes, every Sunday night there I was in my bedroom, blank cassettes at the ready, set to record “The Seventh Day” on KLOS-FM where Uncle Joe Benson would play 7 complete classic rock albums back-to-back, sometimes double-albums, and he would only talk or go to commercials between sides, giving you time to flip the tape and get ready for Side 2! While listening to each track I would write down the album playlist in the blank paper insert and draw out the band logos and album name on the cassette stickers for each side. Eventually, I had a huge library of albums on tape AND I could record to other cassettes and give them to my friends, all for friggin’ free! Wish I still had my tape collection but, hell, we played the sh*t out of ‘em. Miss those days! 🤙🔥
@@caseymoe816 Oh, you had the first class set up! I had 1 of those cheapo all-in-one systems with the receiver, dual-cassette deck & turntable (it might have even had 8-track--although I never owned any 8-tracks). And yes the cassette stickers & case insert creations/artwork were a huge part of creating the perfect mixed tape. Fun times.
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 graduated I n 1977. The music in the 70s was the most amazing music. I will never forget. I am married to my high school love. We are Istill married, 7:34 and these songs bring back beautiful memories. 😊
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.
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
You guys are right. Awesome reaction. Your smiles, laughs, the body language...totally awesome. The song: The vocals and instrumentals and the synergy of the rhythm, its message...quite a sensation.
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. 👏👏😊🇨🇦
Hilarious. Right question? ? Group is called player. The group scope. The group is called the player player and let's. Baby come back that is a group player?😅😅😅 I could not imagine.😅😅😅 What the player? What did the player do? A dirty player dirty dirty dirty😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I mean let's break this down from the very get go. Apply your. The player is singing a sad song about baby come back Hey. I'm just cutting theimagine what the heck did the player 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.
It is the best soft rock song of the 70,s period... it is a game changer of everything romance... and the instrumentation and vocals are second to none... thank you Player ❤
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!
... 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.
I so agree with you both….. the 70s produced some of the best music ever recorded. This is one of my favs of the era…..Baby Come Back is a timeless gemstone
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!!!!😘😘
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!👍👍
Great Song! There is a Classic episode of The Simpsons in which Homer was supposed to be looking after their Baby Maggie and when she goes missing,, Homer calls the Missing Children Hotline and this song comes on while he waits for an Operator to talk to...Baby Come Back! and Homer crumbles into tears!
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.
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 was written by the British lead singer Peter Beckett about his Australian London-based model wife, Lynette, after they split up in LA. `guess what? He never did get her back.
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."
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!
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!❤
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.
this is considered Classic rock and Singer Songwriter Era in the 70s. Just the Lyrics, instruments and vocals. no auto tune no bullshit, just raw talent
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.
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.
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.
Cuties!! So pleased to discover your discovering PLAYER! BABY COME BACK dominated the radio, I wish you two were there, you would have loved it. Jamming the radio was awesome in the ‘70s because there was SOOOO MUCH fantastic music. Enjoy you explorations!!!!
You guys just killed it with your reaction to this song! One of my all-time favorites when I was 8 years old, such a CLASSIC, so sweet, so heartwarming. The guitarist (in the orange outfit is Ron Moss - after he played in this band, he landed the role as the character "Ridge Forrester" on the soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful!!!
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. Just incredible drumming work!
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.
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.
undeniable groove and soul ! ! ! the 70s produced the ultimate love song playlists.......and the bands from the 70s were just incredibly masterful musicians and songwriters!
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.
September 15, 2024…@…3:20 am… 62 years old today…Wilfred Wheeler…September 15, 1977…(50 years ago)… 15 years old then…and…Born&raised… River Rouge, Michigan…387 Palmerston
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...

Thanks so much!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Thank YOU !!
Me, too. I've watched this about a dozen times now.
agree with you 100%
i agree
Back in highschool (late 70's) this kind of music was on FM radio all day long. Real singers, real musicians, playing lovely songs.
Indeed. Sadly, 30 years later it was used for selling Swiffer mops. *sighs* The good news is that good music carries on and most people still are listening to this, discovering it, and digging it.
I was 10 in 77 - but i remember the best music being played in the 70s and 80s. Went to hell after that 🤢🤮
Imagine how much better this would be with Auto tune🤮🤮🤮
@@andreadeamon6419 my mom is your age (she was 10 then) y’all were lucky
We were the lucky generation, after auto tune was invented, music went to shit. That and digitization ruined music. There is a young artist poised to bring back good music, Angelina Jordan, 17 and makes this old man sad I won’t see how big of a legend she will become!
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.
Thank you. No one ever mentions how banging this drummer is
Thank you! The drummer is fantastic!!
yeah its amazing what some drummers have to do.....like ringo star for the beatles.....how much endurance does it take
Thanks for pointing out that talent. It never really stood out but now I can't not hear it.
I thought this, but then I'm not a drummer so I figured maybe it's easy.
I’m 69 yrs old and yes we had the best music period. These bands were for real no auto tune just pure talent
💯
64 here and this was high school music for me.
63 here!! Yes we grew up with the best music. Feel sorry for kids today with all the crap being produced!
Almost 69 here, we had it sooo good.
Sure brings back lots of memories. Music was awesome then
Man this song hit #1 on the billboards chart in 1977, definitely a great song!!
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.
Well said.
The '70s devoured all the remaining creativity that Music had to offer. Since then, It's just been Regurgitation...
@@leddygee1896 sounds about right
👍👍👍
Yup....
70s were the best for music....
Real music, real voices, real talent.and only the best got played on the radio...
Now you understand why growing up in the 70’s were the greatest 👍❤️
Best years of my life! Sometimes I wish they could come back!

Love you all thank you sooooo much hope you do this always
Wow! How I miss the 70's!!!!!! If I could only go back in time!!! Great reaction. Great song!!!!
ditto!!
Same here!! I'm a 70's child and an 80's teen!! Great times indeed!!
Me too!
I'd go back if I could have my hair back
The best time in recent history !!!!
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
I’m 64 and just found that out a year ago lol
I never heard that before. I'm sure Kramer knew...
I think all of them should have been on soap operas, they all had the look lol.
I still watch B&B. Wish he would come back as Ridge.
Ridge Forrester

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.
Great point. I’m 56 & in 1979’ I was 12 listening to The baby’s, Firefall, Frampton, etc etc.👍🎶🤘
Being a teenager in the 70s was awesome. Wish we could freeze time to just the 70s.

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.
...or 45 years later.
70s was the best decade for music! Yacht rock, classic rock, disco, motown, heavy metal, folk music , pop were all awesome !!
You forgot! Country Rock!
Southern rock (lynyrd skynyrd), country rock (Orleans, Firefall, Pure Prairie League), and country pop (Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Eddie Rabbitt).
I graduated I n 1977. The music in the 70s was the most amazing music. I will never forget. I am married to my high school love. We are Istill married, 7:34 and these songs bring back beautiful memories.

If you wrote that song for her she would be back for sure!
If only it were that easy...I wish I could write a song half as good as this.

The bass player, Ron Moss went on to get hella famous playing Ridge Forrester in the soap opera the Bold and the beautiful.
So happy you reacted to that little bit of falsetto because that alway made the highlight moment of the song for me!
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. 👏👏😊🇨🇦

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!

The women love this song ... because the man is taking all the blame. 😂🤣
Oh YEAH BABY COME BACK 😮 MEMORIES FOR SURE ❤❤
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!
... and there's a lot more where this came from ...

I so agree with you both….. the 70s produced some of the best music ever recorded. This is one of my favs of the era…..Baby Come Back is a timeless gemstone
1965 to 1985. Best music ever and nothing comes close.
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!!!!😘😘
Love this song it's been on my layed back music list for long time.
I heard this song so much in the 70's. Still love it.
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.
Great reaction. So genuine!
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!👍👍
Great Song! There is a Classic episode of The Simpsons in which Homer was supposed to be looking after their Baby Maggie and when she goes missing,, Homer calls the Missing Children Hotline and this song comes on while he waits for an Operator to talk to...Baby Come Back! and Homer crumbles into tears!
1977 this song hit #1 on billboard's hot 100!
This reaction was 🔥 one of my favorite songs
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.
1:35 they both went fan boy crazy…. 🤪 ❤
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.
Damn. I like you guys because you know when to shut up and groove.
BTW, this song came out when I was 15.
This was written by the British lead singer Peter Beckett about his Australian London-based model wife, Lynette, after they split up in LA. `guess what? He never did get her back.
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."
So many skilled musicians back in the day
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!
Hahahahaha……that is too funny. Kids got ptsd when street lights come on.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT you ain’t wrong! 🤣
So glad i graduated in 75 we had and loved all types of music. Rock Motown soft rock disco good country ...
This is one of my most favorite songs. And to answer your question, did guys really do that? Yes they did! 😍
He ain't lying. But you had to sing it to.😂
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'm a 68-year-old man we're up in the 70s best of times great classic guitar rock
We made mixed tapes and gave them to our family members, friends and significant others. ❤❤
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 grew up in the 60s and 70s all of our music was wonderful and we loved our women
Miss this music!
this is considered Classic rock and Singer Songwriter Era in the 70s. Just the Lyrics, instruments and vocals. no auto tune no bullshit, just raw talent
Here's a prime example of '70s greatness... Little River Band, "Night Owl"...
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.
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.
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.
Thanks. Luv you guys. Happy New Year!
Cuties!! So pleased to discover your discovering PLAYER!
BABY COME BACK dominated the radio, I wish you two were there, you would have loved it.
Jamming the radio was awesome in the ‘70s because there was SOOOO MUCH fantastic music. Enjoy you explorations!!!!
You guys just killed it with your reaction to this song! One of my all-time favorites when I was 8 years old, such a CLASSIC, so sweet, so heartwarming. The guitarist (in the orange outfit is Ron Moss - after he played in this band, he landed the role as the character "Ridge Forrester" on the soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful!!!
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. Just incredible drumming work!
Brings back so many memories of sunny days by the pool…and the radio playing this song and many others. Good times…great memories.
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.
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.
yep -- the 70's is the best yrs for modern music both rock and soul ...
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.
undeniable groove and soul ! ! ! the 70s produced the ultimate love song playlists.......and the bands from the 70s were just incredibly masterful musicians and songwriters!
This is one of those magical tunes! Whenever you hear this, it still grabs you. Amazing.
I remember when this song came out!!! I was in love immediately!!! Still brings back so many memories. ❤
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.

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...
They were truly killing that song! Love the energy you all have as well..
