About the channel

Peter Beckett… Still Player after all these years. Somewhere in the middle of 1977, Peter Beckett formed the band PLAYER along with J.C. Crowley after meeting at a party in the Hollywood Hills. The two found each other interesting in their diversity: Beckett, a rock musician from Liverpool, England, and Crowley, a country singer from Galveston Bay, Texas. Within a week, they started writing songs together. Sometime later, they enlisted the help of Ronn Moss on bass and John Friesen on drums. Beckett came up with the name PLAYER after seeing movie credits where the actors were listed as “The Players”. After Robert Stigwood signed PLAYER to RSO, they enjoyed success for many years following their number one single, “Baby Come Back,” which was co-written by Beckett and Crowley and sung by Beckett. They toured with Eric Clapton, Heart and Boz Scaggs among others. Eventually J.C. Crowley left the band to record a solo country album and Ronn Moss left the band to become Ridge Forrester
