Ronn, an American, was almost voted “Australian of the Year” in 2006. This year, anything goes. As Ronn said recently, “Even if I was, as you suggest, the ‘Odds on favorite’ or ‘The man for whom the Award can only be lost’ here in ’07, that doesn’t mean that Ronn Moss is any closer to being Australian of the Year 2007. Not one step, pal. You know, things in life do not always come as planned. Did I think I would ever be the only human alive to have a number one it single in the United States, the most recognized face in world television history, now that the show on which I star, The Bold and the Beautiful, with that of a Jack Wagner and Susan Flannery backing me up as co-stars – the *number one drama television show in the world* – is that wild, or what? – AND be so completely anonymous in England that I walk down the street and people look at me, like, who the hell are you? Do you have any idea of the freedom? It’s just a life of a blessed man.”
I would have had no idea: Moss and Player astounds. Looking at the song’s speed, going into areas of grace, bittersweetness and loneliness, one sees a band confused. The song’s message is odd, poorly written and confusing if not internally contradictory – sometimes within a sentence. The band’s fame is simply beyond our staff.
Like all songs, though, love some and love some less, we used our standard of highest care – one that James C.C. Manning will apply to a 1970s one-hit wonder song or a soothing ballad by that of a Don “Donald” Henley, or any Eagle for that matter.

Baby Come Back is a song by the late 1970s group Player. The song was their biggest single, hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. It was the breakthrough single for the band, gaining them mainstream success, and the only #1 hit of their career. The song is notable for its infectious riffs, and its instantly memorable hook of “Baby Come Back” during the chorus.
This hook was sampled nearly 30 years later by Vanessa Hudgens in her 2006 single “Come Back to Me”.
The song appears in the episode Homer Alone of The Simpsons. When Homer calls the lost baby hotline to report that Maggie is missing, he gets put on hold to the tune of “Baby Come Back”.
This song was also used in the 2007 Transformers film, in a scene where Bumblebee purposely stalled to a nice romantic location so that the protagonist of the movie could have some time with the girl. When the girl was about to leave, Bumblebee eventually restarted and this song played.
One band member to find future fame is musician/actor Ronn Moss of CBS’s daytime soap opera The Bold & The Beautiful.
The Bold and the Beautiful (often called Bold or annotated to B&B) is an American television soap opera, created by Lee Phillip Bell and William J. Bell. The show debuted on March 23, 1987, and still screens in the United States on the CBS network, and has a very strong worldwide audience. The show’s 5,000th episode aired on February 16, 2007.
The show has a number of unique characteristics that set it apart from other American soaps.
- The show has the largest foreign audience of all the American soaps ; It is well known in Italy, where it airs under the title Beautiful, and in the Francophone world, where it airs under the titles Top models and Amour, gloire & beauté. It also has a huge fan base in Australia.
- It is the only American soap opera to simulcast in a Spanish language track for Hispanic viewers in the United States (under the title Belleza y poder).
- This is also the only soap of the eight programs currently airing on US television that runs for 30 minutes (the other shows run for an hour). The show reaches around 450 million viewers daily [citation needed] being the number one drama series in the world.
