I WAS YOUNG AT THE BEST TIME! THE MUSIC FROM THE 70'S WAS THE BOMB!!!
I love this song
These are the types of songs I grew up with. When artists had REAL talent. No auto tune and such. Glad you enjoyed the song. I always loved it. Hope you dive deeper into the ‘oldies’ songs. There will never be another era like it.
Great song !! 70s and 80s music rock like no others !! 🤟
This song was released in the late seventies. The guy in the red on the left is Ron Moss. He
starred in the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful" from 1987 to the mid 2000's.
Omg. Thank you for that info. I was racking my brain trying to think where I knew that face from.
@@TexasRose50 You're welcome. Always happy when I post something that helps someone figure something out.
A very smooth terrific playeristic reaction 🎩! Peter Beckett on lead vocals. Baby Come Back was released as the lead single off of Player's 1977 debut album: Player. It was written by Peter Beckett and JC Crowley. The song was produced by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter. The song reached #1 on the Hot 100, #10 on the Soul chart and #20 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It also peaked at 31 in Canada. The music video was directed by Bruce Gowers.
The apotheosis of "I made a terrible mistake and now I want you back" songs: "Baby Come Back", was rooted in real heartbreak. It was written by Player founders Peter Beckett and JC Crowley. Peter Beckett is from Liverpool, England, but moved to Los Angeles, California, in order to join a band called: Skyband, which broke up after one album. By the time he formed Player with JC Crowley, his wife had left him and returned to England. JC Crowley was also going through a breakup, so channeled their feelings into the song. The song earned Player a record deal with RSO Records.
A staple of Soft Rock radio the song: "Baby Come Back", exemplifies what would later be known as "Yacht Rock": mellow, sophisticated (and often maligned) music. Nicholas Niespodziani of the Yacht Rock Revue told Songfacts this one is a crowd-pleaser: "'Baby Come Back' is such a great tune melodically, and the emotion of it really connects with people", he said. "I noticed that when we do it, there's something undeniably sexy about it, and it still works for those dudes all these years later".
Peter Beckett explained in the book - The Yacht Rock Book: The Oral History Of The Soft, Smooth Sounds Of The '70s And '80s: "I guess this one hit home, lyrically, and touched people. Basically, it was both of us having broken up with somebody. So it was a genuine song, a genuine lyric. And I think that comes across in the song - that's why it was so popular".
In 2008, the song made a most improbable comeback when it was used in TV commercials to pitch the Swiffer WetJet, a mop which sprays floor cleaner. The song is used humorously, as the old mops try to win back the housewives who have tossed them out.
The song has been covered by other artists including 📻: Lisa Stansfield, OC Smith, LJ Reynolds, Bleu, Olinda Cho, Jaared, Monique Kessous, Louisiana Purchase, No Mercy, Vincent Thoma, Harlem Yu, Tommie Jenkins and more.
Player's 1977 song: "Baby Come Back", has been featured in the films 📽: Riddle Of Fire (2023), Black Adam (2022), Transformers (2007), Date Movie (2006), A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006), Roll Bounce (2005) and FM (1978).
Player's 1977 song: "Baby Come Back", has been featured in the TV Shows 📺: King Of The Hill ("Church Hopping" - 2006), Cold Case ("Bad Night" - 2005), The Simpsons ("Homer Alone" - 1992), Sjans ("Oude Liefde" - 1992), 3 By Cheever ("The 5:48" - 1979) and James At 16 ("Listless Fever" - 1978).
Lyrics 🗒:
Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind, yeah
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryna forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, yeah, you can blame it all on me
'Cause I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado (false bravado)
Tryna keep up a smile that hides a tear (hides a tear)
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, yeah, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you, no
Now that I put it all together, ooh
Give me the chance to make you see (make you see, baby)
Have you used up all the love in your heart? (Oh)
Nothing left for me? Ain't there nothing left for me?
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
'Cause I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
Baby I was wrong, and I just can't live
Baby come back
Player Info 📰:
Player first came together in Los Angeles, California in 1976. The original band members included Peter Beckett (vocals, guitar), John Charles "JC" Crowley (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Ronn Moss (vocals, bass) and John Friesen (drums). Player released four albums during their active touring years: Player (1977), Danger Zone (1978), Room With A View (1980) and Spies Of Life (1981), then two more albums: Lost In Reality (1996) and Two Many Reasons (2013). Also, Peter Beckett, Ronn Moss and JC Crowley have recorded solo albums away from the band.
Peter Beckett, a transplanted Englishman from Liverpool, had been in a progressive rock group called Paladin, then Skyband in 1974 with Australian Steve Kipner - who had also played with the Australian band Tin Tin, of which Peter Beckett had also briefly been a member. At that time, Peter Beckett, Steve Kipner and Skyband were based in Los Angeles. After Skyband broke up in 1975, Peter Beckett was still living in LA and met John Crowley at a party. He and John Crowley teamed up in a new band called Riff Raff, which soon changed its name to Bandana and released a single: "Jukebox Saturday Night", on Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter's Haven Records record label. Steve Kipner and former Grass Roots guitarist Reed Kailing were also members of Riff Raff/Bandana, but Steve Kipner was gone before the single's recording and Reed Kailing was aced out after its release, though some of the Bandana tracks with Reed Kailing's playing and co-writing later appeared on Player's debut album in 1977.
When the Haven Records label folded soon afterward, Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter brought the others over to RSO Records in 1976, and Peter Beckett and John Crowley started anew as Player with manager Paul Palmer, who brought in Ronn Moss and John Friesen - a former percussionist and musical director for The Ice Follies. Wayne Cook, a keyboardist/session player and former member of Steppenwolf, was an additional band member for its live performances; he is the curly-haired keyboardist in the band's videos from the 1970s.
Player gained popularity as a live act during the heyday of the 1970s Stadium Rock era. They first went on the road in the fall of 1977 opening for Gino Vannelli, then Boz Scaggs. They began to develop a distinctive, edgy and melodic Rock style. Their biggest hit: "Baby Come Back", released in late 1977, rose to #1 on the Hot 100 and #10 on the R&B chart in January 1978 and was certified Gold. It also peaked at #1 in Canada. Their follow up single: "This Time I'm In It For Love", also peaked at #10 on the Pop chart in 1977. The group's debut album: Player, reached #26 on the Billboard 200 Album chart and #32 on the Billboard R&B Album chart. Among several notable accolades, Player was named Billboard's Best New Singles Artist of 1978.
Eric Clapton invited them to open for him during his 1978 North American “Slow Hand” tour. That was when the band started to change away from the "Blue Eyed Soul" sound of their debut album, leading to a much harder Rock sound on their next album: Danger Zone (1978). Peter Beckett explained their change in sound: "When they put us on the Eric Clapton tour, the band took a turn to the left. Instead of sticking with the R&B Pop thing, which is what the first album was, we started to think we're gonna be onstage with Eric Clapton, so we'd better write some Rock 'n' Roll songs. So, we grew our hair real long. We got the bigger amps, the 100 watt Marshalls and we started to change the band. And the band changed. Then, we stopped getting hits".
Later in 1978, keyboardist Wayne Cook left the band and was replaced by Bob Carpenter - who would go on to later join Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Eventually the band began to headline some of their own events, as well as continuing to open shows for artists like Heart and Kenny Loggins in the fall of 1978. But after playing a show with the latter at Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida, on October 29, 1978, tension among the various group members resulted in a huge blow up. When the smoke finally cleared, and after the group played a few more shows with Heart in late 1978, Peter Beckett left the group and Player was without a record contract.
The remaining three band members: John Crowley, Ronn Moss and John Friesen, attempted to find a new record deal and carry on but were unsuccessful. John Crowley then decided to return to his native Texas, where he later pursued a career in Country music. In the meantime, Peter Beckett regrouped with Ronn Moss and John Friesen to continue on as Player.
Miles Joseph (vocals, guitar) and Gabriel Katona (keyboards, ex-Rare Earth) joined Peter Beckett, Ronn Moss and John Friesen in the studio for the group's third album: Room With A View (1980), on Casablanca Records. But when the album failed to sell in big numbers, Player was dropped by Polygram, after that company took over Casablanca Records.
By the end of 1980, Player wasn't active, recording or touring, so Ronn Moss decided to pursue an acting career. He originated the role of Ridge Forrester on the new CBS-TV Soap Opera: The Bold And The Beautiful, from 1987 until August 2012, after which he made the decision to not continue in the series after he was injured in an auto accident.
****CONTINUE BELOW****
As Ronn Moss was occupied with acting, Peter Beckett kept going as Player with John Friesen, Miles Joseph, Gabriel Katona and Rusty Buchanan (vocals, bass, ex-Sugarloaf) and with producer Dennis Lambert back on board, the group released their fourth album: Spies Of Life (1981), on RCA records. The band continued until 1982 and played on the TV music show Solid Gold that year. But after this, the band once again found themselves without a record deal and elected to go their separate ways.
During the years following 1982, Peter Beckett worked mostly as a composer behind the scenes in movies and television. He also was a songwriter providing material for recording artists such as Janet Jackson, Olivia Newton-John, The Temptations, Starship, Kenny Rogers and more. He went on to become a member of Little River Band from 1989 to 1997 and played the song: "Baby Come Back", during their performances. And during his time in Little River Band, he took time out to record a solo album: Beckett, released in 1991 on Curb Records.
JC Crowley - who still occasionally wrote with Peter Beckett, became a Nashville performer and songwriter, recording his only solo album: Beneath The Texas Moon, in 1988. In 1989 he had Country hits with the singles: "Paint The Town And Hang The Moon Tonight" (#13 Country) and "I Know What I've Got" (#21 Country), and was named "Best New Male Country Performer". He wrote a number of songs recorded by Nashville artists, including Johnny Cash and The Oak Ridge Boys. He recovered from cancer in the late 1990s and now lives in Topanga Canyon, California.
After a long hiatus, Peter Beckett brought Ronn Moss back into the fold in 1995 and, in 1996, Player released their fifth album: Lost In Reality, on River North Records. The group's album: Two Many Reasons, followed in 2013, on Frontiers Records. Both albums were written and produced by Peter Beckett.
Player still tours and performs live in 2024 under the auspices of Peter Beckett's Player and Ronn Moss' Player.
Lawsuit 👨⚖:
In May 2018, Ronn Moss filed a lawsuit against former Player bandmate Peter Beckett over rights to the band's trademark. In November 2018, Ronn Moss and Peter Beckett reached a settlement resulting in a stipulated court order, which stated that both Ronn Moss and Peter Beckett owned common rights to the Player name and that the “mark is valid, subsisting, and enforceable".
The court further ordered the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office to update the registration for the Player trademark to “Peter Beckett and Ronn Moss, DBA", an unincorporated partnership. In the joint press release announcing their settlement, Ronn Moss and Peter Beckett stated that in order to avoid any potential fan confusion, Ronn Moss and Peter Becket have agreed to add their own name in front of the Player mark whenever they use it - i.e. Peter Beckett's Player or Ronn Moss’ Player. According to the court order, the use of the name by either Peter Beckett or Ronn Moss for individual use "without the consent of the other and in a manner which does not constitute fair use, is likely to cause consumer confusion as the source or sponsorship of such goods or services”.

This is why music from the 70's will live forever. Actual talented musicians, playing real instruments, and writing songs that told a story. Too much of what comes out today is formulaic, sterile, and is only designed to sell more records. No story...no "Heart"... just filling the radio with noise.
I'm blessed to have grown up in this era, and I won't take any of it for granted.
Classic 💯

Wonderful
Hey sweetheart, I graduated high school in 1976. This song came out in the late 70s early 80s. This has some rock ‘n’ roll, R&B and soul. What you need to do is look more into the 70s and 80s rock and you will find a lot more stuff like this. This is some of the greatest music that’s ever come out today stuff I can’t stand to listen to it. It just has no rhythm. No good beat so I subscribe to your channel. You have a beautiful smile and a great attitude and I really appreciate you liking the music I wants loved and I still love. Thank you very much, Mike.😊😊😊😊😊😊
