How does a band go from earning $75,000 per show to playing for cruise ship buffets and $200 casino gigs?
In this video, we uncover the devastating story of Player, the band whose mega-hit "Baby Come Back" topped the Billboard charts for three consecutive weeks in 1978, selling over two million copies and becoming one of the defining songs of the decade. Through exclusive details about their meteoric rise from rehearsing in sweltering Los Angeles garages to commanding massive crowds on American Bandstand, we expose the brutal reality of how predatory contracts, management deals that stripped away millions in royalties, and internal betrayals destroyed what should have been rock royalty. From lawsuits worth millions to a bass player who abandoned music for soap opera fame, this is the heartbreaking tale of how four talented musicians watched their perfect creation become their prison, leaving them bankrupt and bitter while their song generated twelve million dollars for everyone except them.
