Player - Baby Come Back REACTION

[@doloresgarcia828]

Ur Grandpa is cool! Knows his music.

[@rickyprice7597]

I think a lot of us are fans of your Grandpa's suggestions.

[@elljazz]

Grandpa has got to make an appearance!!

[@laurallama73]

Grandpa was listenin to some good music back in the day❤️🎶🎶😎

[@mia795]

Yes, indeed!

[@ericlarson571]

Cuz he knew the real deal.....

[@terriertz6837]

Dude...you really need to ask your grandpa to do a "guest spot" on your channel. I think many of us would love to meet him. And FYI--the guy in the red shirt in the video became a soap opera actor in the 1980's.

[@onelove1968]

Do ya hear those clean, deep bass lines? That's the signature sound of the 70's. Whenever ya hear that bass talking loud, you're about to take a fun ride back to that unmistakable 70's groove again.

[@yankeeladee02]

Grandad is the man! I feel like we shared all of the SAME records❣️ This song had a resurgence appearing in that mop commercial. 😂

[@maryspaabeck2074]

I sure miss all these songs doesn't seem like even the golden oldies play them much! THANK YOU JB AND A SHOUT OUT TO YOUR GRANPA FOR HAVING GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC!!!

[@twinboys6401]

The 70’s baby! Best music when men told their woman that they loved them. Please bring on your grandpa to groove with you.

[@michaellynch5254]

Of course we've all been mezmorized by the singers and songs. It wasn't about if it was a male or female singing. It was just that the music was so incrediblewith heart and soul that you can't help but love it.

[@bunnybachman]

I've listened to this song for years and years, this is the first time I saw what the band looks like. Never tired of this song.

[@fgf366]

Now that you've seen it, and if you're like me, you will check it out a minimum of 2-3 times a wk(usually more).......😃👌👍💥🕺

[@mspfinney]

The guitar player in red is Ronn Moss. When Player broke up, he became a soap opera actor.

[@heidithatswho.2481]

Ridge Forrester!!🔥🔥

[@Seedlette]

No way!! Lol, I watched that soap when it first aired. I had no idea! 😁

[@heidithatswho.2481]

@@Seedlette I loved the song song as a kid then The Bold and Beautiful came out and I watched it for like 5 years before I made the connection.😂😂 love me some OG Ridge Forrester. And I've always loved this song. All I see is Ridge watching the video now😂💖

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

😍😍

[@MsLuvmusic81]

yeah and I was like, wait a minute how old was he in 1987 when he started playing Ridge??? I always thought he was in his 20s then but he was 35! he is so youthful looking for his age

[@onsesejoo2605]

This style was also referred to as soft rock or middle of the road. Solid vocal harmonies, musicianship and rich instrumentation were / are the trademarks. England Dan & John Ford Coley, Bread might be worth of checking out as well, if you haven't already :)

[@why1itsme]

Loved Soft Rock growing up in the 70's. So many recs given, I had on 45's.

[@karenchalas8761]

I'm thinking more like " Ambrosia". The music back them was very respectful of women... NOT LIKE TO-DAY!

[@kristyperry8044]

Karen Charles How about the b××ch is back? I like Elton John's music but..... I like older music.

[@terdoevillaingang]

I was about to mention ambrosia

[@marccont01]

Your Grandpa is Awesome!!! He is steering you in the right direction.

[@lynnsmith3976]

Grandpa scores again!!!!! This was a great song then and still is. You can't go wrong with Grandpa. Good music like this come back baby

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

God gave all races a measure of talent and soul. Its not just black folks that have soul and can sing.. Im a 69 year old black lady who grew up hearing all this good music

[@janetvansky3621]

James: As I have mentioned to you before, I am a 75-year-old white woman who lived and still adores 70s music - mainly black artists. I start each day with watching you reacting, usually to "Change Is Gonna Come." Keep on inspiring us all. And we would love to meet your grandparents.

[@leelastoma5809]

Seriously your Grandfather is the MAN. He knows some killer music. Tell him he has many fans. Blessings

[@realemiele.franco736]

Funk, Groove, Soul...the 1970's were legendary ❗️

[@Leahb41]

70's 80's and 90's was when music was music I love this time line I love your videos. play Styx Babe thanks

[@artfrank649]

Leah also add 50's and 60's thats when all the Great music started I lived it all its the best ERA ever

[@nelliejewell2665]

Blessed my heart to hear a young man say, “this is real music”.

[@ebenclukey7293]

"Soul" doesn't need a modifier. Eye color, skin color has no part. Soul is soul. Love ya bro.

[@papaquonis]

Please react to "She's Gone" by Hall & Oates. It's one of my favourite 70's songs and it's kind of similar to this - I'm pretty sure you'd like it a lot.

[@OhJodi69]

Yes, and "Rich Girl"

[@susanlawens3776]

But not the video, have you seen it? It's crazy. Like really crazy, people write whole articles just about that video.

[@pclark1332]

James ; Here is a list of songs I think you'll like. Bee Gees "Words" , Dan Hill "Sometimes When We Touch" , Bread "If" , Youngbloods "Get Together" , Three Dog Night "Black And White" , Coven "One Tin Soldier" , Sarah McLachlan "In The Arms Of An Angel" , Bill Withers "Lean On Me" , Dobie Gray "Drift Away" , James Gang "Funk #49" , Grand Funk Railroad "Inside Looking Out" , B J Stevenson "MY Maria" , The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses" & "As Tears Go By"

[@natashka8880]

Please have your grandparents on the show! And mom. And your uncle. Any family member who's given you suggestions. They can introduce songs to you and give you their memories of them. You must.

[@nostalga44jo]

Player still sings this song in 2023. No studio. Just concert footage. Great reaction!

[@kimc.4506]

I am 53 and this is my FAVORITE song of all time!

[@E.Kim_Style]

If you liked that, listen to Ambrosia..."How Much I Feel"..."You`re The Only Woman"...& "You`re The Biggest Part Of Me". Guaranteed you will love it if you liked Player. Player is more like Ambrosia, not really Bee Gees. Definitely CHECK OUT "AMBROSIA"!!!

[@OhJodi69]

The first 45 I ever bought with my own money! I was eight years old. At Woolworth's, for .39 cents! I looked at the rack of 45's forever, trying to decide which one record to get, lol

[@SheenaRea]

Paul Young "Every Time You Go Away"

[@timetravellingone]

Try Orleans "Dance with Me" or Sanford Townsend Band "Smoke from a Distant Fire"

[@stephanietipton4324]

Yes,yes,yes,Dance With me

[@leslie8888]

Two great songs! 💞✌

[@timetravellingone]

And of course "Still the one" which i forgot

[@timetravellingone]

I think he'd like "Sweet City Woman" by the Stampeders

[@jimfrederick3907]

"Love Takes Time"

[@naturespirit164]

Grandpa is amazing - these were our roller skating tunes - I felt such a connection to our creator through all these 70's tunes! We truly are blessed! Thank you and Grandpa and Player!!

[@liquidationkingla5706]

1970's Rock -- That Groove in the Music!!! Come on Man... We need that Back!!!! I love Rap, but music just became lazy with in the 1980's, 1990's and today.... We need more real Musicians to be in bands and putting together these charts with that Pocket!!! LOVE IT!!!! (BABY COME BACK!!!)

[@steveschmidt9792]

This was the type of music that inspired the term "The Smooth Seventies", James! So good! Have you checked out Exile - Kiss You All Over, yet?

[@Mr1Blacktooth]

Subscribed! I remember listening to this song in my old worn out car back in the late 70s. I was a teenager and I thought I was miserable.. But I was listening to this song on the radio. It was very soothing and I guess a blessing from God. I wasn’t thankful for this song or for many other blessings which I can see now as the Lord’s love. Thank you for helping me think about these things.

[@paulsullivan1650]

That's Peter Beckett with all that "blue eyed soul" singing lead. Hey JB, if you truly want to hear some blue eyed soul, check out "Ambrosia". All of their songs are great, but the song "Holdin' On To Yesterday" is amazing. The lead vocalist is David Pack, and he has the best "white boy soul" I've ever heard.

[@JimmyGranier1]

I love the lyric "There was --SOMETHING-- in --EVERYTHING-- about you.

[@mickie-fielden5629]

Thank you .. I have not heard some of these songs in a while.. Puts a smile on my face with all the memories that come back with each song... Tell your Grandfather thank you also...

[@kathystammen3060]

The harmonizing is so pretty. Underrated group I think. I’ve always loved them. Do This time I’m in it for love. You’ll like it too😍

[@arleneelvisgirl4451]

One of my very favorite songs!!! Thanks so much!!

[@realise6]

Thank you for your heartfelt and genuine reactions. I enjoy your videos very much. Your grandfather and I must be in the same age group. Many of the songs he recommends to you are also from my teenage years and I love hearing them again. Music, back then, made me happy, joyful. Today's music, I feel, is often angry, aggressive, dark, disrespectful. I want songs to uplift me not bring me down. So thank you for bringing back joyful memories.

[@patrickpeters298]

Yea man - this song came out when I was in high school and it exploded on radio stations all over the country. A classic that never gets old. Glad to see young folks enjoying this music.Your grandpa must be a cool cat to hang out with! 😎

[@judyeldredge906]

Your grandfather sounds awesome!! Us 70's people have a lot in common and the biggest is a love for this era of music!!

How bout some Styx James? “Babe”, “Lady” just for an appetizer- ❤️💛☮️💟✌️

[@smbake]

No please God. No.

[@smbake]

@Michael Asay Some Styx but Babe has to be one of the cheesiest songs of the 80's, and there were a lot of them. Their concept album Kilroy Was Here is when they started to go downhill..

[@heathermclean-smith5893]

Love this band so much, too! Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s was really great! We just listened to every kind of sound back then from pop to metal to R&B! It was an incredible time for music! Thanks for your great reaction video!

[@Lori-xt2lf]

One of my all-time favorite songs! It reminds me of the exciting first year of high school. Hall and Oates is real philly Motown blue-eyes soul. ❤️ your grandpa.

[@qthelost]

It's funny you mentioned the Bee Gees. In early 1978 this song "Baby Come Back" knocked the Bee Gees "How Deep Is Your Love" out of the #1 spot on the Billboard chart. BUT after 3 weeks the Bee Gees knocked "Baby Come Back" out of the #1 spot with "Stayin' Alive." Then Andy Gibb knocked his older brothers out of the #1 spot with "Love Is Thicker Than Water" and then the Bee Gees took the #1 spot back with "Night Fever."

[@carolwatkins7306]

Thank you grandpa. I had not heard that song in ages. Beautiful

[@annb9422]

I recommend the song 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss' by PM Dawn (1991). Also, 'True' by Spandau Ballet (1983) which was included as part of PM Dawn's song listed above.

[@suzanneprock7286]

There's Ridge with Bold and Beautiful! Gorgeous!

[@darlenebanks1368]

70's was great... glad to have lived it, but some of todays best is right here on YT. Stan Taylor gives me what I 've been missing .

[@kerrijohnson1411]

Skated many a weekend to this song as a kid! Timeless song!

[@terryrumble8500]

Imagine driving around with your friends in the 70s listening to this blasting out of the radio as well as all the other 70s songs because that's what me and my friends did😊😊😊

[@mitzydupre7172]

Yeah I love your grandpa he has such a good playlist for you unbelievable I'm 51 years old and it was my time so I guess I can be a grandma lol From Montreal Quebec Canada xxx

[@doesitmatter4182]

We will never hear these kind of songs from the new generation. Im so glad I lived through it.

[@leslie8888]

You're on a roll! Great band and song I played over and over. 💞✌

[@bethneubacher8985]

The epitome of blue-eyed soul is The Righteous Brothers singing You've Lost That Loving Feeling.....the live version. Oh, yeah......."swoon"!

The joy on your face means everything. These song certainly bring back the 70s in my mind. You had to be an accomplished singer and or musician to make it back then.

[@robertadams7751]

Love this music. Your grandparents are awesome! Since your love songs with meaningful lyrics , you should try Pentatonix singing Mary did you know. It’s so beautiful. 💙

[@nica900]

Yes! This a great song. Thanks Granddad. I love Soul. You guys had it going on. Just writing this at the same time you are saying it - blue eyed soul. First time I ever heard that phrase but I think I understand exactly! I want soul to come back. Call me old school but I'm sick of hip hop and rap. I just want to hear Soul again.

[@kayeaton1691]

Another fantastic soft rock music

[@ChristineLusk]

A big Shout Out to your GrandPa and his great taste in music- Baby come back is one of my favourite songs since the 70s! If you like this song try the Bee Gees' song- Fanny be Tender- it is the best R&B song based on Quincy Jones & Paul McCartney's opinion. Fanny be Tender is my favourite song too. The late 60s & 70s had the best music!! Loved your reaction!!!

[@tammieg4788]

It's true alot of naturally great voices in the 60s and 70s.
