So glad you liked and appreciated this song. I can't wait to play your reaction for my husband, Peter Beckett. He sang it and wrote it (with JC Crowley) and when the band went to play it live to the record executives, they played a couple of other songs first, then he walked up to the mic and said "Now I'm going to play you our first #1 hit." And he was right.
Ive loved this song since it came out back in the 70s im a Londoner and this was played in every pub club and dive bar and it is one of if not the best song ever created you tell your old man mrs Beckett he is a genius along with them all in the group and thank him for helping me pull some lovely birds he will know what I mean. Kindest regards to you both from the Hack.
I was born in '54 and got to grow up with the entire evolution of Rock and Roll. I was blessed to have seen MANY of these group in small venues when they had to travel and play to gain recognition. College campuses, small town bars, small stadiums, rodeos, county fairs, etc. It was a really great time.
The seventies and eighties great music. Gino Vanelli I just wanna stop is another great one from 1978. Gino was invited on Soul Train by Don Cornelius himself.
The group Ambrosia and a couple of their songs “ How much I Feel “ & “ The biggest part of me” The group 10cc- and the song “ I’m not in love” Paul Davis the artist and the song “ I go crazy “ That’s a few songs to transport you back to the 70’s
Ambrosia is much more mellow softer music, they really didn't have the same rock beat as Player. Player reminds me more of like Chicago, without all the extra instrumentation. Or maybe some of Breads more upbeat songs
4:45 - Britt, what he said was, "All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado", meaning he kept smiling and acting like he wasn't bothered by anything. But as soon as the sun went down and he was free of having to put on that "brave face", the emotions came flooding back.
@@stevedaulton9655 One of the lyrics. Where he owns up to putting up a "brave face" like nothing is bothering him while he's around other people. But once he's alone, he can finally relax and show his emotions because there is no one around to see it.
You are hilarious! These boys sang. I saw them the same week I saw Hall and Oats. I thought my brain was going to melt. You are correct. The vocals, instrumentals and lyrics of the 70's is unmatched. Love that you appreciate it.❤
i almost started laughing. you were so blown away by this, but for me growing up in the '70's this was everyday radio. THIS was the type of music that we, as teenagers, listened to every day of the week. it was so wonderful that i stopped listening to much radio in the '80's, and in the '90's i totally stopped listening to the radio and started listening to only pre-'80's stuff because that was the only really good music i knew.
I was born in 76, loved growing up with 80s music ( *real* music, LOL) and listening to my parents' oldies because I had to (I know a *lot* of 50s/60s pop) but I was driven away from popular music early in the 90s too. I loved Nirvana, but hated Pearl Jam, and hated more the 5000 Pearl Jam sound-alike bands that followed them. After Top 40 bands started sucking, I moved between classic rock, punk bands, nerd rock like TMBG, and 90s rockabilly/ psychobilly bands. All of these are fun, but outside classic rock, no-one notices their existence anymore.
I wish I could go back and re-live the 70's all over again. Best decade of music ever. and the best time of my life. No wonder the younger generation is so entranced with the music of our era. Todays music is overproduced and lacks great lyrical content. Britt was absolutely right when she said that they knew how to make great music, great singing and great lyrics and put it all together. And it was all before autotune.
1970's... Talented Musicians and songwriters playing their own stuff. No "Auto-Tune". Lyrical poetry, and songs that told a real story. Is it any wonder I'm "Stuck in the 70's"?
I just found your channel and I absolutely love it. I grew up in the 70's and you are taking me back to some wonderful times as a teenager. I love that you are enjoying this music....nothing like it today. Just pure talent no auto tune no digital adds just talent. Thank you!!!
Growing up in the 70's I think I took bands like this for granted. But after listening to the music that's come since, and your great reactions, I've come to appreciate bands like these that much more.
@@stevedahlberg8680Checkout a band from NZ with that throw back sound Kiwi's have been grooving too since 2016.

It was the same for me. We had a lot of good music, so we could pick and choose. I've been revisiting all the music I passed on back in the day. We were seriously spoiled and I'm so happy I was there for it!
Definitely. And to think, these were the radio-friendly bands we didn’t even consider to be the real “players”, compared to the stunning prog-rock and fusion groups that thrilled music lovers at the same time.
'Baby Come Back' is one of the all time great songs. If you like this, you gotta do some reactions to Ambrosia. 'You're The Only Woman,' 'Biggest Part of Me,' and 'How Much I Feel' are all incredible songs.
YES YES!!!!! I remember those Masterpieces from back then. TAKE 6 remade "BIGGEST PART OF ME" and MURDERED IT, even though the original is still the best.
i'm 64 years old i love this classic timeless song i was just 17 years old when this classic song was first release in 1977 good music like this never gets old it just gets better with time this is priceless thank you so much for playing and posting this classic song i really do appreciated very much.💝💝🎵🎵
I agree! Britt has done it this time. The panty dropping club and bra flying club has grown. Being someone who was in my 20's during the 70's, your reaction has made me take a deeper listen to this song, and you're spot on with your reaction. The vocals and production were great. Love you, Britt! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Britt, great reaction. I am 59 and was a teenager when this was released in 1977 - so I lived it! I was there. I just wanted to point out to all those who were not alive or old enough to remember the 1970s. All these recording artists (like Player) in the 1970s were young people in their 20s when they created this amazing level of contemporary music. Yes, they were ALL in their 20s! Young people. It's important to point out because yes, they are all "elder statesmen" (and women) today in their 60s and 70s. But as you listen to this song and watch the video, remember that this is the level of musical excellence they had in their 20s, when they actually created this music from scratch. Amazing! Thanks to lead singer Peter Beckett and all the other band members for this gem and classic. For the record (no pun intended), this song was number 1 on the Billboard hot 100 in January of 1978 for 3 consecutive weeks. Yes, it was a BIG hit! Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.
I’m not much of a reaction video watcher. This single reaction video is the best reaction video I have ever seen. She’s funny, expressive, emotional. The true comedian has come out of her!! Kudos to Britt Reacts. I’m a fan of this person.
Player is a British-American rock band that made their mark during the late 70's. "Baby Come Back" was their biggest hit in 1977. They also had some other songs such as "This Time I'm In It For Love".
This is what music is all about. The harmony, lyrics, falsetto,instrumentation, vocals and guitar solo are fire. Everything here are off the charts. This is definitely one of the songs for the ages.
I'm almost 70 now and grew up in the seventies. They say most people think the music of their era is the best but the more reactors I watch it seems they like the seventies music as much as I did. The groups and artists of that era sang without auto tune. They could play instruments and put the effort into do great arrangements and songs with meaningful lyrics. Another group that is very similar to Player is the group Ambrosia. Their songs like 'Biggest Part of Me, 'How much I Feel', and 'You're the Only Women' are songs to add to your play list.
Yep. And it says a lot about the situation in popular music today that we’d even mention how musicians used to actually sing with human voices, and play actual instruments, as though this were somehow a very special distinction. The mind reels.
Yes a very popular song in its time. And yes the bass player went on to play Ridge on the Bold and the Beautiful. I think I might have even heard it on a commercial or two in recent times. This is the good stuff we listened to growing up in the 70s and 80s and it’s so good that people of today are getting into it ! Music was great back then and people of today are understanding that now and I think it’s great!!
I was born in '54 and got to grow up with the entire evolution of Rock and Roll. I was blessed to have seen MANY of these group in small venues when they had to travel and play to gain recognition. College campuses, small town bars, small stadiums, rodeos, county fairs, etc. It was a really great time.
Baby Girl you listening to some music that never gets old, those songs bring back a lot of memories just hearing them takes you right back! It's good seeing people enjoying some of the stuff from back in the 70s and 80s. They had some of the best music and those days ! And I wanna see you in the bellbottoms 😉👍
1970's was the best decade for music EVER! There was something for everyone. Decade started with Motown being very big, and rock was taking hold. This type of slower ballad type music grew big and later in the decade there was disco. REAL country music was here. Dolly, Willie, Johnny, Merle, Conway, etc. Bubblegum came and went during the decade. There was something for EVERYONE!
The 70s was the great music bands and all of it just hole bunch of great bands and singers !! I hear them and I can remember the days of this great music !! Love it !!!!
I just found your page last night. I’m 43 and I’m genuinely happy for you to be enjoying this music. Love how u respond to these vids. Keep up the good work!
Britt, I skipped this video several times. I actually thought it would be boring, lol. This is hands down your best reaction yet. You're so beautiful, too 😊
I do declare young lady. I believe you have a case of the vapors! Players Anthem. That killed me. This reaction is at the top of my list for "Reaction of the Year"!! Loved it, RNB
The memory that always comes to mind for me with this song is on the school bus in 6th grade in 77-78 timeframe. It was Belleville, Illinois, and the bus driver was named Dave. He had a one speaker radio he hung from a hook on the dash. Seems I would hear this several times a week that school year while riding home.
I keep playing this clip and can't get enough of your reaction. As a high school senior in '77 I can't agree more that we had some of the best music to hang out to on the radio everywhere, everyday.
This song was a hit when I was in highschool back in 77. When my first serious girlfriend and I broke up, after I left to College, this was my themesong, I would play it over and over. It is still my #1 favorite song of all time, just beating out Band on the Run by Paul McCartney and the wings.
It's called talent and hard work. Vocals, harmonies, lyrics, musicianship, song writing, ... A very dated song, but a supreme example of the era. So well put together and performed. I like the way the lead singer continues a note after the harmonies fade. A classic.
You are the best ,my dear. reacting to songs. I love it. Plus, you are a very beautiful young lady. Your honesty, the feeling ,and reaction is what makes you great. God bless you. Keep it up. I enjoy watching your reactions and reviews.
Great song, Great reaction. My girlfriend and I used to cruise in my van along the beach in Florida back in the late seventies with this song turned all the way up. Music marks time.
@kimdawcatgirl He had several solo albums,, But if you happen to mean the album with his hit "Don't Shed A Tear" on it,, That would be his "One Good Reason" album.
Girl, I am loving your review of this song!! Seems tht we felt the same when hearing this song. I love this song and only can imagine how it was to hear this in its original era🤩🤩🤩
Britt , fun fact : Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates said this is their most requested song from the crowd at their live shows ! And to be honest for a very long time i also thought it was a Hall & Oates song ! !
The 70’s was the best of everything to consume. Music, clothes, furniture, hair and pure class. I’m a 80’s baby btw, now 42yrs old. There’s a refinement that happened in the 70’s, hasn’t happened since.
I'm the same way, but from a different decade. I'm a 90's baby that was raised on the 80's. Both my parents were teenagers in the 70's, so they exposed me to music from the 50's to the 80's.
Same for me and I don't know bout you but I was lucky to have two older siblings by more than a few years and that definitely caused my exposure to 70s music to start at a very early age, thankfully! At ten I was rockn out to Meatloaf, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Player, Orleans, Styx, Bread, KISS, Little River Band, The Eagles and the list goes on and on! Of course I liked "my own" music to which included Disco because I loved to dance and clearly that's what it was for. I'm so glad I grew up listening to 70s and 80s music and thx even to my parents for putting me on to some great Doo Wop as well!!
I was in 12th grade when this song came out. And trust me we were in love with this song. The best times ever were back in the day. Thank you for loving our music.
OMG! Yes. One of my all time favorites! They played instruments! God I miss the seventies music! If you love this wait til you hear the bee gees you should be dancing...
You are SO precious. We were blessed to have really awesome music in the 70s. So many excellent groups and singers. I am glad that you're exploring some history. I miss the radio stations playing them back-to-back-to-back. 😊
The music in the 70's were the best i was going through School during the 70's. Music was my go to during that time of my life because the year 1977 I lost my little brother to Cancer he was only 5 years old and died a month before I graduated High School. GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙
The lyrics you didn't understand is "all day long, wearing a mask of false bravado" is a way of saying pretending not to miss you even though I do. Not too many groups use such great and educated lyrics like they did back in the 60's-70's-80's
Peter wrote that line because he remembered his Shakespeare from his school days at St. Francis of Xavier in Liverpool. In one of The Bard's plays, he uses false bravado to describes the scared soldiers about to face death in battle.
False bravado can also imply the macho type---you cannot hurt me! I am afraid of nothing, nothing! The bull in the arena. Bravura. Brave. Also, must say I greatly enjoyed the reaction video! Britt, you added another piece to the song--- run away emotion. I felt it! Love your voice, btw.
oh man you are so funny and cute! AND girl you know great music when you hear it! your attention to all the details is so satisfying - such a jam watching you react and all your passion> when you said you'd be happy just listening to the instrumental - I was thinking 'just wait until you hear them sing!! hahah - Love ya girl!
The bass player was on the soap opera The Bold And The Beautiful for like 20 years after that ...he did some music on that show too ...his character name was Ridge Forrester
I was born in 1971, and I feel so grateful to grow up with such a wide variety of music and eras, and now I have passed that down to my adult kids, my son who has such an appreciation for music is a dancer who now does that for me with new artists I would NEVER here unless he did, so I guess we just kept it going full circle.
Great reaction. Very cute and funny. It's a great song, listen to the very end to hear the guitar licks. This is a masterpiece of 70's pop rock fusion.
So glad you liked and appreciated this song. I can't wait to play your reaction for my husband, Peter Beckett. He sang it and wrote it (with JC Crowley) and when the band went to play it live to the record executives, they played a couple of other songs first, then he walked up to the mic and said "Now I'm going to play you our first #1 hit." And he was right.
Please thank your husband for this wonderful song it's always been a favorite of mine since it came out in the 70's.
I would love to hear the story of how that song came into being. Ms. Britt was right about the motown vib. I hear EW&F in it.
Ive loved this song since it came out back in the 70s im a Londoner and this was played in every pub club and dive bar and it is one of if not the best song ever created you tell your old man mrs Beckett he is a genius along with them all in the group and thank him for helping me pull some lovely birds he will know what I mean. Kindest regards to you both from the Hack.
Whaaaaat? He brought so much joy to so many with this song alone . I love it so much. If I get the nerve to karaoke this is the song!!
That is so amazing - Thank him for us! This is one of the best of the best songs ever!
It was GREAT living in the 70s and 80s But you live your life in it now through music. It’ll change your mood, your attitude your Life!
Mostly the 70s though lol
Born in the 60’s…teenager in the 70’s. Best music ever!
I was born in the later 60s. But we just got our clock alarms in 77 so we blared music all day long on them.
Fact.
I was born in '54 and got to grow up with the entire evolution of Rock and Roll. I was blessed to have seen MANY of these group in small venues when they had to travel and play to gain recognition. College campuses, small town bars, small stadiums, rodeos, county fairs, etc. It was a really great time.
👍👍💯💯
Right there with ya, '63 here. Everything got really "BIG" in the '80's, but there's NOTHIN like the stuff from the '70's! 👍
Love your reaction to this. I grew up in the 70’s and this music brings back the best of times!
DID YOU EVER NAIL THAT STATEMENT LOL
The seventies and eighties great music. Gino Vanelli I just wanna stop is another great one from 1978. Gino was invited on Soul Train by Don Cornelius himself.
This was from 77 my Blazers one the NBA Championship in Portland Or in June 6th I saz 17
The group Ambrosia and a couple of their songs “ How much I Feel “ & “ The biggest part of me”
The group 10cc- and the song “ I’m not in love”
Paul Davis the artist and the song “ I go crazy “
That’s a few songs to transport you back to the 70’s
All those and "Baker Street" Gerry Rafferty and Seals and Crofts, "Diamond Girl."
YES!!! My fav!
@@KlingonPrincess love Gerry Rafferty!
No lies detected. ☝️
We really did have a hell of a nice date-music environment, didn’t we? ☺️👍🏻
If you love this band,.... you would love "Ambrosia" as well!!!
and Pablo Cruise
Ambrosia is much more mellow softer music, they really didn't have the same rock beat as Player. Player reminds me more of like Chicago, without all the extra instrumentation. Or maybe some of Breads more upbeat songs
My thoughts exactly! Britt HAS to check out Ambrosia!
I was thinking this was Ambrosia at first!!. Ambrosia is off the hook good!
LOVE the group AMBROSIA with songs like "How Much I Feel", "Biggest Part of Me", "You're The Only Woman".
4:45 - Britt, what he said was, "All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado", meaning he kept smiling and acting like he wasn't bothered by anything. But as soon as the sun went down and he was free of having to put on that "brave face", the emotions came flooding back.
Iggy what are you referring to? Just asking for clarification.
Not motown.
Britt didn't know what the lyrics were during that part of the song. Iggy told her.@@stevedaulton9655
The lead singer is from Liverpool, England.❤
@@stevedaulton9655 One of the lyrics. Where he owns up to putting up a "brave face" like nothing is bothering him while he's around other people. But once he's alone, he can finally relax and show his emotions because there is no one around to see it.

Hale to the 70's. Never be another decade like it. Best music ever played. That music touched our lives and had real meaning.
I wish I could go back and re-live the 70's all over again. Best decade of music ever. and the best time of my life. No wonder the younger generation is so entranced with the music of our era. Todays music is overproduced and lacks great lyrical content. Britt was absolutely right when she said that they knew how to make great music, great singing and great lyrics and put it all together.

I was born in ‘97 and the 70s most definitely had the greatest music. R&B, Rock, Singer Songwriting!

1970's... Talented Musicians and songwriters playing their own stuff. No "Auto-Tune". Lyrical poetry, and songs that told a real story. Is it any wonder I'm "Stuck in the 70's"?

Britt, great reaction. I am 59 and was a teenager when this was released in 1977 - so I lived it! I was there.

Not really a British American band. More like American British band since 3 of the 4 members were American, not British.
I'm happy to see you enjoyed this band and song. Up next you should check out Ambrosia - "Biggest Part of Me" and "How Much I Feel."
This is what music is all about. The harmony, lyrics, falsetto,instrumentation, vocals and guitar solo are fire. Everything here are off the charts. This is definitely one of the songs for the ages.

Yes a very popular song in its time. And yes the bass player went on to play Ridge on the Bold and the Beautiful. I think I might have even heard it on a commercial or two in recent times. This is the good stuff we listened to growing up in the 70s and 80s and it’s so good that people of today are getting into it ! Music was great back then and people of today are understanding that now and I think it’s great!!
Yes...I was wondering whether @BrittReacts noticed Ridge, from The Bold and the Beautiful. Lots of ppl overlook that.
Britt's amazing beauty, personality, and reaction perfectly fits the song. Perfect synergy. Otherworldly. ❤
This song is fire! It doesn't hurt that these guys are one of the best looking bands EVER!! Back in the day, bands knew how to bring the romance.
Love your review. You appreciate smooth sounding instruments/lyrics/ and voices.
Love your appreciation for the great music of the 70’s, you are an old soul that loves the soul!😁
Britt, you nailed it at 2:19 - The 70's were all that and a bag of chips fo real 🤩
Born in 1966. Great memories of listening to 70's music. Those days are gone forever and I miss them. Stay safe!
Me Too!!!!!
I was born in '54 and got to grow up with the entire evolution of Rock and Roll. I was blessed to have seen MANY of these group in small venues when they had to travel and play to gain recognition. College campuses, small town bars, small stadiums, rodeos, county fairs, etc. It was a really great time.
Born in 54 too! 70s were the best
Even high school cafeterias! ( where I saw the Youngblood’s!)
I saw the "Chicago Transit Authority" - later just "Chicago" at our local skating rink.@@TheDivayenta
Baby Girl you listening to some music that never gets old, those songs bring back a lot of memories just hearing them takes you right back! It's good seeing people enjoying some of the stuff from back in the 70s and 80s. They had some of the best music and those days ! And I wanna see you in the bellbottoms 😉👍
Yes, it is a lovely song. It's been years since I heard it. Easy on the ears and relaxing.
“Oh you better sing boy” was hilarious. What a great song!
I was born in 1962 so my music molding teen years was 70’s music. My dad introduced me to some 60’s music, which I love but nothing beats the 1970’s!!
Same here born in 61 70s music 🎶 awesome miss the 70s 😊😊😊
1970's was the best decade for music EVER! There was something for everyone. Decade started with Motown being very big, and rock was taking hold. This type of slower ballad type music grew big and later in the decade there was disco. REAL country music was here. Dolly, Willie, Johnny, Merle, Conway, etc. Bubblegum came and went during the decade. There was something for EVERYONE!
This is the best reaction video I have seen yet. Love the honest reaction. Player was the 1st one I viewed. I am hooked now.
The 70s was the great music bands and all of it just hole bunch of great bands and singers !! I hear them and I can remember the days of this great music !! Love it !!!!
You are adorable!!! You're appreciation of talent is amazing!! 👊🏼👍🏼💪🏼
You have a new fan!!!
I just found your page last night. I’m 43 and I’m genuinely happy for you to be enjoying this music. Love how u respond to these vids. Keep up the good work!
Player absolutely Nails this one. Great harmonies. Great sound. One of the best songs of the 70s
Desde Chile escuchando buena música recordando el tiempo pasado y feliz que los jóvenes de hoy la disfruten también.
Britt, I skipped this video several times. I actually thought it would be boring, lol. This is hands down your best reaction yet. You're so beautiful, too 😊
I’m 63 years old and this song played at my school dances back in 1978-79
Yep born 1961 same feeling here ... and these young people still believe they invented something .
Same! Same born year🎉
@@ripvisitorsame, born in ‘61
I do declare young lady. I believe you have a case of the vapors! Players Anthem. That killed me. This reaction is at the top of my list for "Reaction of the Year"!! Loved it, RNB
I was 14 years old when this song came out I am Now 62 and Still Love This Song it never gets old 😊
Same!
Same here music today sucks
70's music hits different. it had so much soul.
Always enjoy watching your music reactions and comments, from all the way over the pond in Wales UK.
The memory that always comes to mind for me with this song is on the school bus in 6th grade in 77-78 timeframe. It was Belleville, Illinois, and the bus driver was named Dave. He had a one speaker radio he hung from a hook on the dash. Seems I would hear this several times a week that school year while riding home.
Me Too !!!! 😉
the 70s was magical time to grow up to see/live the evolution of music and moral standards were still high on the list. I miss my 70s
How could you not LOVE this song. Yes, it embodies a '70s hit!
I keep playing this clip and can't get enough of your reaction. As a high school senior in '77 I can't agree more that we had some of the best music to hang out to on the radio everywhere, everyday.
This song was a hit when I was in highschool back in 77. When my first serious girlfriend and I broke up, after I left to College, this was my themesong, I would play it over and over. It is still my #1 favorite song of all time, just beating out Band on the Run by Paul McCartney and the wings.
I grew up in the 70s. Still my fave Decade by FAR!!!!!!! Music, film, tv, comedy. 1976 Bicentennial, Disco, Punk...
The best Decade to grow up in by far!!!!!
It's called talent and hard work. Vocals, harmonies, lyrics, musicianship, song writing, ... A very dated song, but a supreme example of the era. So well put together and performed. I like the way the lead singer continues a note after the harmonies fade. A classic.
A great song like this never gets dated. It just gets better with age and takes you back to when music was music.
An eternal R&B classic- never dated!
Will NEVER be dated!!! This song is STILL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@gerardohanlon6025. This song is like fine wine. It gets better with age.
masterclass!!
Been listening to this Jam since the 70's, yes over 40 years and has never gotten old!
You are the best ,my dear. reacting to songs. I love it.
Plus, you are a very beautiful young lady. Your honesty, the feeling ,and reaction is what makes you great. God bless you. Keep it up. I enjoy watching your reactions and reviews.
Omg!!! I remember listening to this AMAZING music as a kid. Grrrreat 🎶 🎵❤❤❤
Great song, Great reaction. My girlfriend and I used to cruise in my van along the beach in Florida back in the late seventies with this song turned all the way up. Music marks time.
A MUST HEAR 70's Classic,, Ace "How Long" 🔥..Nuff Said.
Awesome choice!
Yes! Paul Carrick singing!
@kimdawcatgirl Exactly..Same with Squeeze "Tempted" is also Paul.
@@happymethehappyone8300 I had his solo album that I can't think of the name offhand that was great as well!.
@kimdawcatgirl He had several solo albums,, But if you happen to mean the album with his hit "Don't Shed A Tear" on it,, That would be his "One Good Reason" album.
Massive crossover hit. Everyone loved it.
The 70's was a Renaissance of rock music. One band after another created the most amazing music. It's so good it still stands up today.
Girl, I am loving your review of this song!! Seems tht we felt the same when hearing this song. I love this song and only can imagine how it was to hear this in its original era🤩🤩🤩
You'll LOVE the group AMBROSIA with songs like "How Much I Feel", "Biggest Part of Me", "You're The Only Woman".
Britt , fun fact : Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates said this is their most requested song from the crowd at their live shows ! And to be honest for a very long time i also thought it was a Hall & Oates song ! !
The 70’s was the best of everything to consume. Music, clothes, furniture, hair and pure class. I’m a 80’s baby btw, now 42yrs old. There’s a refinement that happened in the 70’s, hasn’t happened since.
I'm the same way, but from a different decade. I'm a 90's baby that was raised on the 80's. Both my parents were teenagers in the 70's, so they exposed me to music from the 50's to the 80's.
Can’t forget about those 70s bushes
You have a beautiful face and a beautiful smile and a great sense of humour. Thank you 🙏.
I love that you caught the "yea-eh-eh-eh-ah" at 3:40. One of my favorite little moments in a song ever.
!
I was a kid in the 70’s teen in the 80’s. Best times and music ever. No doubt. I was glorious!!!! So many awesome memories.
Same for me and I don't know bout you but I was lucky to have two older siblings by more than a few years and that definitely caused my exposure to 70s music to start at a very early age, thankfully! At ten I was rockn out to Meatloaf, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Player, Orleans, Styx, Bread, KISS, Little River Band, The Eagles and the list goes on and on! Of course I liked "my own" music to which included Disco because I loved to dance and clearly that's what it was for. I'm so glad I grew up listening to 70s and 80s music and thx even to my parents for putting me on to some great Doo Wop as well!!
Your reaction is priceless!
I was in 12th grade when this song came out. And trust me we were in love with this song. The best times ever were back in the day. Thank you for loving our music.
OMG! Yes. One of my all time favorites! They played instruments! God I miss the seventies music! If you love this wait til you hear the bee gees you should be dancing...
You are SO precious. We were blessed to have really awesome music in the 70s. So many excellent groups and singers. I am glad that you're exploring some history. I miss the radio stations playing them back-to-back-to-back. 😊
I am so grateful every day that I was a teenager in the 70’s! There will never be another time like that. The music was phenomenal.
The music in the 70's were the best i was going through School during the 70's. Music was my go to during that time of my life because the year 1977 I lost my little brother to Cancer he was only 5 years old and died a month before I graduated High School. GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙
So sorry for your loss of your little brother
The lyrics you didn't understand is "all day long, wearing a mask of false bravado" is a way of saying pretending not to miss you even though I do. Not too many groups use such great and educated lyrics like they did back in the 60's-70's-80's
Peter wrote that line because he remembered his Shakespeare from his school days at St. Francis of Xavier in Liverpool. In one of The Bard's plays, he uses false bravado to describes the scared soldiers about to face death in battle.
False bravado can also imply the macho type---you cannot hurt me! I am afraid of nothing, nothing! The bull in the arena. Bravura. Brave.
Also, must say I greatly enjoyed the reaction video! Britt, you added another piece to the song--- run away emotion. I felt it! Love your voice, btw.
oh man you are so funny and cute! AND girl you know great music when you hear it! your attention to all the details is so satisfying - such a jam watching you react and all your passion> when you said you'd be happy just listening to the instrumental - I was thinking 'just wait until you hear them sing!! hahah - Love ya girl!
The bass player was on the soap opera The Bold And The Beautiful for like 20 years after that ...he did some music on that show too ...his character name was Ridge Forrester
Girl you are fire!! Your reaction brought tears to my eyes, your reaction and absolute joy of the song was awesome!! 🤩
I was born in 1971, and I feel so grateful to grow up with such a wide variety of music and eras, and now I have passed that down to my adult kids, my son who has such an appreciation for music is a dancer who now does that for me with new artists I would NEVER here unless he did, so I guess we just kept it going full circle.
The lyric was "wearing a mask of false bravado." Great reaction Britt!
👍👍
Great reaction. Very cute and funny. It's a great song, listen to the very end to hear the guitar licks. This is a masterpiece of 70's pop rock fusion.
ha ! lots of really good songs back in the day. Young people seem to be realizing that fact. Thats good !
