Asia's reactions are priceless. That smile shows what a big kick she gets out of these songs. Respect, girl. Hey, there's a live version of this if you want to see what they look like!
I suggested this song so long ago...and...Hall & Oates-'Sara Smile"..& Ambrosia-"How Much I Feel"; "You`re The Only Woman"; "You`re The Biggest Part Of Me" (3 great Ambrosia songs...they have a similar sound to Player`s "Baby Come Back". Gotta check them out!!!
If you saw the video of Player performing, you would be like--"uh, really?" Sort of like seeing Wild Cherry for the first time performing "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)."
Hey Asia & BJ from Little Rock, Arkansas: Glad to see Young People Like y’all Listen to Different Music from Different Years keep them Coming!👍🏽😎🌺💪🏽👑👑💙💙
This is a great soulful song. I don't have any Player recommendations, but I think you'd like Biggest Part Of Me, by a band called Ambrosia. It has the same '70s soul and some beautiful harmonies. Give it a listen.
Agree. I was 23 years old when i first heard Baby Come Back and Biggest Part of Me. From then on i kept listening to it. Gives me so much nostalgia. I am 30 now 🤣
It warms my heart to see the younger generation hearing and understanding how great the music was back in the 70's and 80's. I had the opportunity to live it and it was great back then.
Asia & BJ, I'm surprised that you didn't elect to view the official video to this track, because you would have seen the entire band doing their thing!!! This is an signature 70's smooth-vibe banger!!!
Ambrosia the song thats how much I feel or you're the only Woman or biggest part of me. Much better than the group player. This is call soft rock. Baby making music.
Asia. I'm talking to you. You seem to really appreciate a real love letter set to music that honestly expresses emotion that makes your heart beat faster. So, here's another one. Richard Marx pleads for his soul over a woman in his song, KEEP COMING BACK. And just to give the woman's side of the coin Taylor Dayne gives her vocal desire open air to love as she watches others live inside a bubble created from shared emotion. The song is SEND ME A LOVER. And Player is a British-American band.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THIS SONG!! I was a kid when it came out and I remember my mom listening to it In the car. We have a 70’s channel that plays in the salon where I work. Every time it comes on we’re all singing “Baby come back” loud and proud!
I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 1970s. I didn't realize at the time how great this music was. So glad that young people like you can experience this great music.
One of my favorite songs of my childhood. Great smoothe vocals and harmonies. Great guitar licks and keyboards. It was a prom and couples skate favorite. The words really pluck those heart strings
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!
this song is so smooth. Part R&B Soul, part rock, part disco, part motown. loved how it was implemented in the movie Transformers. Another song with a similar vibe/genre: Pablo Cruise "Love Will Find a Way".
Nowadays they don't play music like this, where you can dance with your lady nice and slow, and enjoy the music as well. Listen to "this time I'm in it for love" by player
This is from the 70's afterglow era that shined brightly throughout the decade, just after the Summer Of Love in 68. The 70's featured the peak of soft rock, romantic ambiance and sexual freedom. It was also the last blast for listening to great radio stations as well.
Easy rock was a curious genre. It abandoned sex, loud guitars and drugs for melodies and harmonies. It's a fascinating rabbit hole filled with music that still holds up primarily because it is melodic and catchy. 'Love Will Find a Way' by Pablo Cruise, 'I'm Not in Love' by 10cc and 'Sara' by Fleetwood Mac are some other songs I'd place at the top of that playlist.
I love watching younger people such as yourselves enjoying the music from my generation! Love you guy's channel. Asia, you get so into it that it melts my heart. Such true emotion listening to the music. BJ, you're feeling the instruments so much you just get into a groove. LOVE IT ALL !
They were kinda a one hit wonder, but this is one of the best tracks ever produced, and it will forever live on in the hearts of chivalrous gallant men all around the world.
Great choice - the late 70s certainly had a unique vibe. In 1997, I went to see the Little River Band (they have a bunch of great songs, btw, hint hint), they were performing at a Casino (and not sure how many original members there were, but one of the guitarists was the writer/singer of this song, so it was cool to hear this song played.
And, also...the official video of Player performing this is worth watching. If you really like the song, check out the video of them performing it. You will appreciate it more. Plus, little trivia for you..one of the guys in the band was on the Soap Opera "Bold & The Beautiful" for about 30 years.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not but if you used to watch the soap opera bold and the beautiful there was a guy on there named Ron Moss who was Ridge Forrester he is also a guitar player for the band player check it out you'll be amazed
Great Song, pretty much a one hit wonder for them. They were only around a short time. A couple of them got back together in the 90's. They played a local festival here back then. I remember everyone watching them play and commenting how they did not recognize any of their songs. Then they played "Baby Come Back" last, and everyone said at the same time, "Hey I know that song". One of the singers was in the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful". I remember them having a poster of him on the stage stating this fact.
Great reaction! Brings back memories from the 70’s. This song never gets old. The meaning is rock solid and it was a great slow dance tune with the ladies
When we were younger my husband left for three days. My stomach hurt so bad. I couldn't stop crying or stand up straight. I had three little girls I was trying to convince I was just sick. But then he came back and was sorry. That's the only time that happened. Thank God. He passed away 9 years ago. I still miss him like crazy.
Man this song was huge back in the 70s! I was about 14 years old when this hit the radio waves back then! Damn I’m old! 😂great tune though! This is considered yacht rock! Pop rock! Soft rock. Great music indeed! 60s, 70s, and 80s even some 90s where the best times for real music from the heart!✌️😎🤟
Watch the official video guys, like Mauri said in the comment below. Also this one is slower than the original recording...why i know that? Because i've still got the 45 on vinyl! 1977.... 😃 Ron Moss, actor from "The Bold And The Beautiful" tv-soap (80s, 90s, 00s) is the bass 'player'...
I know from watching your reactions you both like those love songs. Here's a Smooth, Jazzy, one with all the words you would want to say to the one ❤️ you love. And it Shows off the versatility of George Benson's vocal range. Please react to L" Love of My Life"
I live this with my first wife, I definitely felt every bit of this song and in a way to be perfectly honest, still to a degree. It's very hard to have lost in love with your special someone.
Another 70s group along the same type of Soft Rock . check out England Dan and John Ford Coley songs I'd really like to see you tonight , Love is the answer .
I’m telling y’all, the music from the 60s, 70s and early 80s were the best! There was no auto tune. What you heard was the real thing!
AMEN
Most Definitely
That's right..."the real thing"!
You most likely mean that music WAS the best.
You got no argument from me!
Player is a highly underrated band. Superior vocals and dope beats.
Well they didn't have many hits.
i don't know why but it always reminds me of WKRP in CIN CINNATI. MAYBE IT WAS Lonni Anderson.
Yup
Real Talk
Back in the 70's love songs were written like it was a personal letter between two people. Very intimate. God, I miss the 70's...
Excellent Analogy!!
That's almost like I miss your booty and milkshake etc.😜
You aint the only one lol, I wish i could go back so BAAAAAAD
Nicely put....
Now they just Ghost you….
I love watching young people being amazed by old good music!
And the music production.
I do as well! They really get me excited! Takes me back to this wonderful era of music! Great reaction! ❤️
Ambrosia and I keep Holding On to yesterday, His much I Feel and other hits is a similar sound and group to take a listen to.
Player, Ambrosia, Ace, Pablo Cruise....such good bands 🔥 🔥🔥🎶🎵
Trueee. Same feels
I'm getting old lol, can remember as a teenager when this first came on the radio.. 70's music had it all
YES!!! 🎸🥁🎹🎷🎤🎶👍
Same here
Came back from Nam , and this was the #1 when my boots hit the ground
Same here. I was 16. One of my favorites
Your so right 70s was just the greatest music ever made wonderful years
It is impossible to dislike this song. It's a perfect song.
Asia's reactions are priceless. That smile shows what a big kick she gets out of these songs.
Respect, girl.
Hey, there's a live version of this if you want to see what they look like!
I suggested this song so long ago...and...Hall & Oates-'Sara Smile"..& Ambrosia-"How Much I Feel"; "You`re The Only Woman"; "You`re The Biggest Part Of Me" (3 great Ambrosia songs...they have a similar sound to Player`s "Baby Come Back". Gotta check them out!!!
How much I feel...what a beautiful song. Not that I agree with the "mental cheating".😟
Always thought this was Hall & Oates!
The best reaction!!! To this classic song🔥🥰🔥 Absolutely loving everything💜💞💜
Dudes laid it on the line for love in the days. No fake swagger. Loved this, Family. Love yall
Today's music pales in comparison of the seventies those were the days of my youth !
If you saw the video of Player performing, you would be like--"uh, really?" Sort of like seeing Wild Cherry for the first time performing "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)."
LOL. Yep....Google the band itself for a "surprise"
Thats right bro!! Like Red Bone..come get your love!
Lol... Yep✌
All white boys...blue eyed soul...lol
Hey Asia & BJ from Little Rock, Arkansas: Glad to see Young People Like y’all Listen to Different Music from Different Years keep them Coming!👍🏽😎🌺💪🏽👑👑💙💙
"There was something in everything about you" is such a great lyric.
So is the killer line: "All day long wearing a mask of false bravado, tryin' to keep up a smile that hides a tear."
Already 😮
The OFFICIAL Video will make you feel it even more.... These boys can PLAY and SING....!!! Peace
This is a great soulful song. I don't have any Player recommendations, but I think you'd like Biggest Part Of Me, by a band called Ambrosia. It has the same '70s soul and some beautiful harmonies. Give it a listen.

It warms my heart to see the younger generation hearing and understanding how great the music was back in the 70's and 80's. I had the opportunity to live it and it was great back then.
The bass player(Ron Moss) played Ridge Forrester on the Bold And The Beautiful for years🔥❤🔥
😮🤯🤣
It was surreal seeing Ridge playing bass.
I love this song! It never gets old...classic!! 💖💖
AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR CLASSIC..
10CC "I'M NOT IN LOVE"
Got it on a 45.
Yesss!!!
In the 70s, as a child, you could feel love emanating from the very air. It was magical.
There was not a bad song from the 70’s and 80’s! So refreshing to see young people enjoying what we grew up on!
Well said well bloody said for real
The 70s had such fantastic music. I remember when this was a monster hit on the radio. Great reaction 🔥
My god, got me singing. Been a minute since I heard this. Brings me back 40+ years.
Asia & BJ, I'm surprised that you didn't elect to view the official video to this track, because you would have seen the entire band doing their thing!!! This is an signature 70's smooth-vibe banger!!!
If you loved this, you need to listen to How Much I Feel by AMBROSIA!!!!🔥🔥❤
Ambrosia the song thats how much I feel or you're the only Woman or biggest part of me. Much better than the group player. This is call soft rock. Baby making music.
❤️ You both, GITTA HEAR THE LIVE VERSION!! This version sounded like my cassette when my WALKMAN’S batteries were running down!😬
Asia. I'm talking to you. You seem to really appreciate a real love letter set to music that honestly expresses emotion that makes your heart beat faster. So, here's another one. Richard Marx pleads for his soul over a woman in his song, KEEP COMING BACK.

Asia, you perfectly described the Yacht Rock genre; Soulful Rock! With a smooth factor put in for flourish ❤️ My favorite genre!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THIS SONG!! I was a kid when it came out and I remember my mom listening to it In the car. We have a 70’s channel that plays in the salon where I work. Every time it comes on we’re all singing “Baby come back” loud and proud!
LUUUUUCKY U THE 70DZ WERE.THE NUKE BOMB I WAS 16 BIG ONES IN 1977 LOL NOW IM 63 IN THE BIG ONES LOL
Asia & BJ,
Here are two more of Ambrosia’s songs you might want to react to.
Tina
How Much I Feel
Biggest Part of Me
This is why I love these two. So genuine.
*This was a number 1 song for a week on Billboard. The song was written when 2 guys in the band lost their girlfriends.*
I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 1970s. I didn't realize at the time how great this music was. So glad that young people like you can experience this great music.
Music has such a way to unite people. I love it. We need more good music today.
A great song back then,still great today
If you like Player, you'll love Hall and Oats. Sara Smile, She's Gone, Man-eater. They call It blue- eyed soul.
One of my favorite songs of my childhood. Great smoothe vocals and harmonies. Great guitar licks and keyboards. It was a prom and couples skate favorite. The words really pluck those heart strings
Love this song it's one of my favorite songs from back in the day! Great job once again Asia & BJ!😁😁🎶🎵🎤
Great song! Very cool 70’s ballad. Like others have said, Ambrosia “How Much I Feel” is another great song with this type of sound.
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!
This is on my 70s mix!!
This song always makes me dance & sing. Even though I can’t sing, the dogs don’t care :)
A similar song is Fallin in Love by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds. Soulful too.
this song is so smooth. Part R&B Soul, part rock, part disco, part motown. loved how it was implemented in the movie Transformers.
Another song with a similar vibe/genre: Pablo Cruise "Love Will Find a Way".
Everything was sprinkled with a touch of disco….nice.
Say what you want about Michael bay, but the dude has a great taste in music.
And he introduces younger audiences to great classics
10cc - I'm Not In Love (1975) also, another nice listen.
Excellent reaction!!! Nailed it! I remember this great song back in the day. Awesome rock / R&B vibe that's still relevant today...
Nowadays they don't play music like this, where you can dance with your lady nice and slow, and enjoy the music as well. Listen to "this time I'm in it for love" by player
This is from the 70's afterglow era that shined brightly throughout the decade, just after the Summer Of Love in 68. The 70's featured the peak of soft rock, romantic ambiance and sexual freedom. It was also the last blast for listening to great radio stations as well.
As the great Ron Burgundy would say, "That's baby makin music."
One of the GREATEST smooth jams of all time, BAR NONE!!
I only discovered this song in the last year or so and to my surprise, Peter Beckett is from Liverpool as well!
This song spent time on the R&B charts in the day. 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
Easy rock was a curious genre. It abandoned sex, loud guitars and drugs for melodies and harmonies. It's a fascinating rabbit hole filled with music that still holds up primarily because it is melodic and catchy. 'Love Will Find a Way' by Pablo Cruise, 'I'm Not in Love' by 10cc and 'Sara' by Fleetwood Mac are some other songs I'd place at the top of that playlist.
I love watching younger people such as yourselves enjoying the music from my generation! Love you guy's channel. Asia, you get so into it that it melts my heart. Such true emotion listening to the music. BJ, you're feeling the instruments so much you just get into a groove. LOVE IT ALL !
They were kinda a one hit wonder, but this is one of the best tracks ever produced, and it will forever live on in the hearts of chivalrous gallant men all around the world.

OMG, Y’all are just too freaking cute! I absolutely love the way y’all are reacting to this gorgeous song!
And, also...the official video of Player performing this is worth watching. If you really like the song, check out the video of them performing it. You will appreciate it more. Plus, little trivia for you..one of the guys in the band was on the Soap Opera "Bold & The Beautiful" for about 30 years.
Ron Moss was his name, and his character name was Ridge Forrester.
i remember hearing this when i was a kid...long before i knew what the lyrics were about...lol. its just a great song with a great feel.
This one is good but what about James Ingram and Patti Austin baby come to me from 1982
All the women love this song ... because the man is taking all the blame. 😂🤣
The video is better. The guys are white. That shocks most people.
I was a teenager in the 70,s and I still like the music and I'm 66years old now
I swear I have the same reaction as you when I hear this. It's sooo good!! Lucky you to hear it for the first time.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not but if you used to watch the soap opera bold and the beautiful there was a guy on there named Ron Moss who was Ridge Forrester he is also a guitar player for the band player check it out you'll be amazed
If you like this then give Ambrosia a listen . Holding on to yesterday is a good start! the 70s rocked , hard or soft
Y’all, I grew up listening to this song! Amazing!
Great Song, pretty much a one hit wonder for them. They were only around a short time. A couple of them got back together in the 90's. They played a local festival here back then.

Great reaction! Brings back memories from the 70’s. This song never gets old. The meaning is rock solid and it was a great slow dance tune with the ladies
Love this one but that "outro' should be another minute or 30 longer
THE BLACKBYRDS "WALKING IN RHYTHM"..
A CLASSIC SMOOTH SOUL GROOVE"
This genre is called White Blue Eyed Soul...or White R&B...check out the Average White Band..."pick Up the Pieces"..
When we were younger my husband left for three days. My stomach hurt so bad. I couldn't stop crying or stand up straight. I had three little girls I was trying to convince I was just sick. But then he came back and was sorry. That's the only time that happened. Thank God. He passed away 9 years ago. I still miss him like crazy.
If you like Player, you need to hear Ambrosia. They have gorgeous harmonies!
Ambrosia. That how much I feel
Man this song was huge back in the 70s! I was about 14 years old when this hit the radio waves back then! Damn I’m old! 😂great tune though! This is considered yacht rock! Pop rock! Soft rock. Great music indeed! 60s, 70s, and 80s even some 90s where the best times for real music from the heart!✌️😎🤟
I consider myself truly blessed to have witnessed all this great music in the 70’s🙏❤️
i just can't live without youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
😄😄😄😄
I keep saying it, the 70s was the *best* for music. Every song we heard was good, and we loved it. What an era for music!
Yyyyasssssss!!! Love this song!!!! Oldie but goodie!
Please do a reaction to Adele's new song, Easy On Me

this is from 1977. And Player are highly underrated.
If you like this, then I think you will enjoy listening to Ambrosia and Pablo Cruise. Great 70s bands and super groovy songs!
Possibly one of the best lines in the song:
“I was wrong and I just can’t live”
Bam!!!!!
