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".

[@mikefixx7177]

And Holding on to Yesterday was a big hit

Magic spell!

[@MauroJourney]

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.

[@brewswillis9783]

Peter Beckett was also with Little River Band for over 8 years.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Actually Ronn was in a car accident and started having trouble remembering his lines so he left to be with the group for things he's remembered for 35+ years. I've watched his interviews

[@MauroJourney]

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.

[@MrThumbs63]

Ridge Forrester is an all-time name.

[@antoniojefferson948]

They've got a hot sound! Like bee gees but with soul!

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

"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.

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

1 of the Smoothest songs Ever produced!!!

[@larrybench6398]

This song was number one back in 1977 on the billboards chart

[@gloriaroshto1408]

Takes me back...I must say as a Senior we had awesome music back in the day...soft rock.

[@phila3884]

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

[@williamcabell142]

The 70’s had talent under every rock! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bigb6046]

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.

[@raycewilliams3300]

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..

[@Mare_bear738]

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

[@Lakeshore14]

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. 👏👏🥰🇨🇦

[@JamesBond-ib9tq]

"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.

[@JerseyBA62]

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..

[@UberDurable]

Can't get enough of this wonderful song!

[@vvcougar71]

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

[@flerbus]

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

[@user-bd1cr3qu6h]

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

[@Mr17051963]

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!

[@markrinehart8813]

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.

[@psongman9536]

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

[@deanhaight7258]

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

[@historyguy5942]

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.

[@MarkCucchiara]

2 hit wonder...

[@robertgraham3108]

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.

[@sixslinger9951]

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

[@andrewcole3736]

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

[@VikingJeff]

I love "This Time I'm In It For Love". I guess because this song is so good it gets overlooked.

[@mrmark5595]

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

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

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

[@Deborahtunes]

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"...

[@rankstrangertanner7124]

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.

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

[@dougpringle8938]

Didn't remember the band but as soon as I saw the song it was instantly remembered it. So many bands from then makes it hard to remember all of them but as soon as I see the song it's instantly know the words. Thanks for sharing with your KZbin family and for the memories

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.

[@historyguy5942]

Mostly agree, but Rupert Holmes (The Pina Colada song) was terrible.
