*Baby Come Back by Player & How Much I Feel by Ambrosia :* 2 of the most perfect pop songs ever written & performed brilliantly.

Baby Come Back is in my top 5 all-time favorite songs. So damn good.

[@Elwrt455]

I love Peter Beckett & Player, Ambrosia, and the Little River Band

[@tlockdown5546]

I am a black man and I have loved this song ever since I heard it. I was living in Darlington South Carolina and WJMX out of Florence South Carolina was playing Baby Come Back. I am still today in love with the song. I was talking to my wife and song a few lyrics of the song and she said "I remember that song." So I looked it up and played it then sent it to her phone. As I am writing this text she is calling me so we can reminisce on where we were and what we were doing when this song was a hit all over the sweet USA. Thank you Player for such a sweet hit. I am sure a lot of babies were born as a result of BCB.

[@aurora3067]

T Lockdown It’s just one of those songs man. There’s not a lot of them. But when they come around, they last a lifetime. Even more.

[@Papparratzi]

Not as impactful as Baby Comeback but I think you and your wife might like “Reminiscing” by Little River Band, in particular the lyrics. It ties right in to your post. Cheers

[@jessicafish7097]

Great comment! This was such an awesome song...I wish they made them like this today!!

[@redpillcopinthephilippines9647]

I am so pleased to see that in this day and age that some people can see past race, creed and color, and just dig the music. For the record I am white. And my recent uploads on KZbin and spotify were Dazz Band, the Johnson Bros, and Brick. The lesson children; music has no race, creed or color to enjoy. It just has to feel good. One last thought; love each other in spite of what you see on TV

[@broncodeviltexas]

Song came out right when I was in a break up. Obviously listened to it non stop.

Peter Beckett is an amazing talent. I love that he plays with the Little River Band, which is another favorite of mine, and they play some of the Player songs when they tour.

[@mozdickson]

Funny you should say that Larry, I was watching Jamel_ALA_Jamal react to this song just now on YT (def worth watching...) and thought the closes to this is LRB

[@oasis5827]

Me Too. Loved the Little River Band! Beckett is very talented!

[@davidcox3076]

Saw LRB many years ago. He was playing rhythm guitar for them. They introduced him and they did the song. He could really hit that high note, too!

[@rzrbckmz23]

@@davidcox3076 I saw him with them also. 1995 I think. They opened up for Hall and Oates and had original drummer and guitarist from hit days of early 80s and that was it. Beckett was great though and of course they played their hits and the Player song Baby Come Back.

one of the best songs ever

[@a32tl]

"Baby Come Back", is one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. Not sure exactly where I'd rank it in my mix. Better than #10 but not quite #1, but pretty darn close. I know I've listened to that song over a thousand times through the years. It's so good and I never get tired of hearing it. If I'm scanning XM radio in my car and come across this song on whatever channel, I immediately stop scanning. Ambrosia's, "How Much I Feel", is another song I feel incredibly passionate about. That late '70's and early '80's era produced some of the best music in history to me. "How I wish to God that you were here!"

[@Tony-db3ey]

I rarely comment on KZbin but I fully agree with your statement.
