Along the same lines of smooth easy listening is another group named, Ambrosia. Couple of smooth ones from them are: "You're The Biggest Part of Me" and "How Much I Feel".

"This Time I'm in It for Love" made it to #10 on the charts as well but this was the only #1 they had.

The lead singer and guitarist (and co-writer of the song) is Peter Beckett while the bassist in red shirt and trousers is Ronn Moss (Ridge Forrester in "The Bold and the Beautiful") who left the soap opera a few years ago to rejoin the band.

Yes, I remember some interviews in which he said that among the reasons that pushed him to leave the TV series there was also the fact that he lived quite far from the places where the scenes of "The Bold and the Beautiful" were filmed and commuting by car every day had become quite tiring and stressful.

Player was basically a one hit wonder. Baby Come Back came out when I was in high school. The guy on the end, in red, is Ronn Moss. After Player, he was a soap opera star for 20+ years. He was in the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He played the role of Ridge Forrester.

That was the term they used to call it- soft rock!

Player had a couple of other "hits" one of which was " This Time I'm In It For Love" but back then if you didn't produce a top ten hit on the charts... problems would slowly creep in. Eventually there was a lawsuit. Over time there were about 18 different members of Player. At any rate we do have this song to remind us of how beautiful that great harmonies sounded. Take care..

Glad you hit on this one , it was a huge hit in 1977 , on the radio constantly (yes all we had was radio back then). Another good one that year for me was "Smoke from A Distant Fire" by Sanford Townsend Band.

It wasn't their only hit. "This time I'm in it for love" was another huge hit for them.

Yes, I would also recommend the group Ambrosia. Songs like " Your the Only Woman," or "That's How Much I Feel"

Another incredible song from the 70's. Simple. Smooth and timeless.

This was all over the radio back in the late 70s. It was classified as yacht rock. Player had a few other songs but this was their big hit, actually hitting at #1 on billboard . Not sure why they broke up but one member of the group went on to act in a TV soap opera show. Thanks for the great review. 👏👏🥰🇨🇦

"Yacht Rock" wasn't an official classification for the music produced during that time period (late 70s-early 80s) which was basically soft rock and adult contemporary and the term really originated in around 2005. Many successful artists like Hall and Oates, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, etc. found it offensive for their music to be associated with this new sub genre of music.

They always reminded of the band Ambrosia with the way they sound.

Player had one more song that hit the charts at #10 in 1977, called "This Time I'm In It For Love". Many people forget about this tune. Probably because it wasn't as big as "Baby Come Back" which went to #1 on billboard. The guy in the orange shirt was a major lead character on the soap opera "The Bold & The Beautiful"...

This was a one hit wonder in my day. This one always comes back around when you're in that heartbreak moment and you just wonder back. That's it. Just that and that's why they wrote it and sang it for that very reason. It's a classic that will never go away.

Player had two top ten hits - #1 Baby Come Back - and #10 This Time I'm In It For Love. Other hits: #27 Prisoner of Your Love - #46 It's for You ; #48 If Looks Could Kill ; #62 Silver Lining ; #105 Givin' It All. They toured as an opening act for such artists as Gino Vanelli, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, Heart, and Kenny Loggins.

The guy who playing the bass guitar his name is Ronn Moss who played Ridge Forrester on the show The Bold & The Beautiful!!!

Another banger by Player is “This time I’m in it for love.” 2 hit wonder. 👍🏽

This song was HUGE in the 70s. I was just a kid but I remember it well blasting out of my sisters bedroom radio. haha

i remember buying this "45" at bradlees's "this time i'm in it for love" went to top 10 also so, two hit wonder

Peter Beckett joined the Band Ambrosia, Peter is the lead singer.The bass player Ron Moss became a Soap opera star.😊

Many years back me n my wife went to see them along with ambrosia,firefall n little river band for our anniversary was a great show..

I don't think you can get more '70's than this song and video.

Player scored several US Hot 100 hits, three of which went into the top 40; two of those single releases went top 10, including "This Time I'm In It For Love" and their No. 1 hit "Baby Come Back."

Ambrosia - How Much I Feel should be next

Born in 1969 and loved all these songs growing up.

It's a timeless song from 70s a great song i love it...thanks and God bless both of you!!!!! Thanks from philippines

This might be one of the best videos on youtube and everybody who reacts, gives it high praise. Thanks for your added inspirations.

Solo at the end is icing on the cake! It'll make you make faces! Lol

The middle eight of this song is also brilliant and the placement of the guitar solo as the outro was a great choice. 🕊❤️🎼

Man I can remember I was in High School when this came out sophomore and this song was on that FM station all the time miss those days life seem so simple and easy.

This song was actually played in the 1st Transformer movie if you guys have ever watched it:)

My teen years at school and the first slow dance parties. Only good memories!!! 🪩🎶✌️This and “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc were my all time favorites!

This, we called Soft Rock.

As far as the radio was concerned, they were a one hit wonder, however, there is just one hit after another on the album that contains this song. It is still one of my favorite albums. Very good band.

The early 1070's, the best time for soft rock. It was such a great dance song and also at the skating rink. Unfortunately, it was their one-hit-wonder. Others from this time was Orleans, Paper Lace, Bread, Rupert Holmes, Steely Dan, Seals & Croft.

I well remember when that song was released back in 1977! It was hugely popular & absolutely fantastic! The group Player actually had multiple big hits! Baby Come Back probably was their best & biggest one!

The 60s through the 90s were the best music to me and this is really good song too

After doing some research, I found out that Baby Come Back debuted in late 1977, and was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart January 14, 21 and 28, 1978, and was #7 song of the entire year of 1978.

Had the 45 of this song as a kid. The B-side was a song called "Love Is Where You Find It". The bass in that song is incredible.

This song brings back so many memories. I really like this song.

Great reaction to a banger of a yaht rock 70’s smooth rock classic!! Other songs that you would like on this same line would be anything from Ambrosia, like “How Much I Feel”, and “Biggest Part of Me”. April Wines’ “Just Between you and me”, Atlantic Rythem Section’s “So Into You”, Excile’s “Kiss you all Over” and Ace’s “How Long”.

Here is a fun fact, the guy in the red shirt played the original Ridge Forester on Bold and the Beautiful.

You guys have to play "Him" from Roupert Homes. You won't be disappointed!

This song, NEVER, gets old!

I remember this cool song when I was in grade school in the 70's. The bus driver would play music and this song was heard many of times...

FROM A MAN, WHO HEARD THIS CLASSIC SONG WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT.. IT'S STILL GREAT TO LISTEN TO.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I read somewhere that 2 of the band members were actually in the middle of breakups at the time they recorded this song--so it was really coming from their hearts--and it came though...

Really love this song, so awesome!❤❤❤

They had another top 10 hit... This Time I'm In It For Love. Baby Come Back was #1

Wow!! What an awesome song.

I love this song. Also, you guys need to check out of Little River Band and Air Supply

Phil and Sam love your reactions. 👍

Great song. I always liked that 🎶 song 🎶

He's got that smooth DJ voice

Always loved this song. Love the 70s✌️❤️🎶

Even though I was a rockin' teen in the 1970s when this song came out I had to acknowledge at the time that it was a very catchy soft rock/pop tune. Still holds up really well. How these guys didn't make a lot more memorable music is beyond me. The guitarist was really good. P.S. In the realm of one-hit wonders like Player, you should check out another one-hit wonder. The Dutch group Diesel had a super catchy tune called Sausalito Summer Nights in the late 1970s. You won't be able to get the main guitar riff out of your head; there is also a nice solo in it.

One of the great soft rock songs ever. It reminds me also, that outro guitar solos are nearly extinct now. Back in the day they were fairly common, as was the fade out.

A top notch song of the 70’s that is legendary…the harmonies are unbeatable.The line…” There was something in everything about you”….. gets me.Simple and thoughtful.

There may be songs as good but none better, the perfect pop rock song in my opinion.

sam and Phil best reactions I have seen yet from you guys. Nothing like the past decades of real and I mean real music. Keep up the great work Sam and Phil

This one was all over the radio back in the day and I actually have the 45 on my old school Rock Ola jukebox!

These dudes are fire....seriously underrated.

Ron Moss (bassist) was absolutely my biggest crush in Jr high!

Good music, sheet talent and no autotune. Have you ever done "Brandy" by Looking Glass? Another one hit wonder, but well worth listening to.

Highly recommend you react to Ambrosia’s song How Much I Feel.

Ron Moss with the red shirt played Ridge Forrester in The bold and the beautifull.

These guys had 3 hits off this album opened on tour for Boz Scaggs and Geno Vanelli. They then got booked to open for Eric Clapton and wrote their next album as a rock album, grew their hair long and never had another hit. This song was number 1 for three weeks. It was in one of the transformer movies
