“I was wrong…and I just can’t live without you.” (Player, ‘Baby Come Back,’ 1977)

Released in October of 1977, Player’s “Baby Come Back” rose to the top of the “Hot 100” charts by January of 1978.

This soon-to-be soft rock classic took over the #1 spot on the US charts from label-mates, the Bee Gees (“How Deep Is Your Love”). It would be Player’s biggest smash. Pop this tune into the 8-Track and drive your van along the beach as you listen.
