Melanie

On Player's first album, titled Player and released in 1977, there is a track that deviates somewhat from the album's more rocking energy. This is Melanie, a ballad that is the fourth track on the LP. Its sound leans towards pop and disco, showcasing a more melodic facet of the group. The composition of this song is credited to J. Crocker, and the production was handled by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter.

This song was released as a single in 1978, adding to the group's other releases. Player's debut album, originally from Los Angeles, California, was released under the RSO Records label. While Baby Come Back became the album's big hit, Melanie offers a different texture within the group's sonic proposal, exploring styles that resonated in the music scene of the time. The duration of Melanie is 3 minutes and 39 seconds.
