Peter joined up with J.C. Crowley, Ronn Moss, and John Friesen to become pop/rock band Player. Player had a #1 hit with "Baby Come Back" in 1978, the song still played all over the world today. They toured as an opening act for such artists as Gino Vanelli, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, Heart, and Kenny Loggins. After four successful albums with Player, the band then split up and Peter began writing songs for other recording artists such as Olivia Newton-John, The Temptations, Kenny Rodgers, which lasted about 10 years. He also began writing songs for movies and TV through the 80's. He got together with friend and former bandmate Steve Kipner once again, and recorded a cd under the band name Think Out Loud. They released a single called "After All This Time", and featured their song "Original Sin(Jumpin' In) in the Tom Cruise movie "Cocktail".
