In 1980 they also had a popular song, "You're the Only Woman (You & I)", and had two earlier '70s hits, "How Much I Feel" and "Holdin' on to Yesterday". Those are all still very popular on classic hit stations. Original member Joe Puerta went on to be a founding member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

David Pack, who wrote and sang this song, and was the lead singer and songwriter for Ambrosia, has one of the most criminally underrated voices ever.

I’m from the high school graduating class of 1979. And this song would play at our school dances. Such memories ❤️🌹

This song was in the top 10 of the R/B soul charts in the summer of 1980! Blue eyed soul at its best!😊

"Holding on to Yesterday" is another great one from this group

I think it's their best

"That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind, & Fire. This song is so free-feeling and sonically inspired, for sure!

The Earth Wind and Fire tune to which you refer is their early anthem That's The Way Of The World which is still my favorite from their fantastic catalogue. David Pack of Ambrosia has one of rock's greatest voices. His pic should appear in any dictionary defining the word SMOOTH. For a recent year treat see him singing Maria from West Side Story with Michael McDonald and the late, great James Ingram. Three Masters. Talk about a rich and glorious experience.

I've loved this song since it first came out. I love the vocal arrangement and the groove. Great reaction, Harri.

That voice and those instruments just sweep me away. More Ambrosia please. All of their songs are beautiful!!!!!!

David Pack has the voice of an angel. This is the pop side of Ambrosia. For the prog rock side of Ambrosia, listen to the debut album, the second album or the fifth and last album. They also play on Alan Parson's album Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Also, David sings on numerous Alan Parson's albums. David left the band after the fifth album and went on to a solo career and producing for others. The most of the rest of the band are still together and they play certain venues, at least they were the last time I checked. Like the rest of us, they are getting up there and as we all know, Time Waits for No One 😍

The 70s were the most laid back-lets get along decade I've been a part of as you can tell by these Ambrosia tunes, which would be the 50s, 60s, 70, 80s 90s and into the current train wrecks.

I always have loved Ambrosia!!

Absolute KILLER love song .... a young man expressing the depth of his love for his woman .... so beautiful ....... every passing year makes it all so clear to me that love is the most important thing in this world .....

There was a category that some folks remember called “Blue-Eyed Soul”. It included groups like The Bee Gees, Ambrosia, Hall and Oates, Wild Cherry and other white boys whose music was a blend of soul, funk and pop music.

That’s The Way If The World by Earth, Wind & Fire, and yeah it does have that groove! Ambrosia is some of the best Blue Eyed Soul!!! Great reaction Harri !

Super underrated band. Some of the best vocals of the era....

Possibly The Deepest Ballad Lyrically! Magicians of The Soul-

Always gets the center of tenderness ...more please .

This was A great group! I was a big fan in the 70s & 80s. Great stuff! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

I graduated in 75 love this music

You’re theOnly Woman is another banger from Ambrosia

Ambrosia would be a perfect way to describe this song. Great pick! Great reaction Harri!

Love Ambrosia! Worth going down that rabbit hole, Harri! You're The Only Woman and How Much I Feel should be the next two. Holding On To Yesterday!

Love this song. I was about 21 when this came out.

Hey Harri, that was great! There are many more great songs by Ambrosia. There is a band that only had one hit that I remember reminded me of them. That band was "Player" and the song was "Baby Come Back". Worth listening to. Much love

Thanx Billy..Great song.I reacted to it

Ambrosia has 4-5 songs you should hit. Each is amazing in its own way. All of them funky, smooth, and completely captivating.

*How Much I Feel* was their biggest hit and came before this.

This is a Ten +. For the jazz sound they bring. Outstanding!

Great reaction, Harri! Glad you liked the song. It's one of my all-time favorites. You reacted to Ambrosia's "You're the Only Woman" earlier this summer, which made me think of "Biggest Part of Me." Such talented musicians all-around.

Thanks for your reaction! ✌♥️

No music compares to the 60s and 70s, Grateful I got to witness this music first hand 😎😎😎😎😎😎

How Much I Feel is another banger from them!♥️

Looooove Ambrosia. Enjoy

Great song choice... "Holding on to Yesterday" is my personal favorite by them and hopefully gets put on your To Do list.... Thanks.

My favorite by Ambrosia ❤

what a great song to sing along to

Oh a wonderful slow dancing song! Guys, this is how you woo a woman.

Great show

You need to hear holding on to yesterday by this group

Always enjoyed Ambrosia! You get Darryl Hall & John Oates feel from them, and a little bit of Little River Band in there.

Love this song!💗

"How Much I Feel" by these guys next.

I would classify this as Blue-eyed Soul.

They were huge!

Highly under rated band with a lot of soul. Great falsetto. Has a George Benson or EWF feel.

How much I feel is a great song as well. Ck it out

Good Reaction..Interesting connection to EW & F. Try "You're the Only Woman". Veyr similar to this one.

I concur with Spider McGee y’all need to check out all their work! The epitome of easy listening of the late 70s and 80s

How much I feel is their Flagship Song!!

Just started watching your channel. Ya know, you seem like a very chill, friendly dude. Someone I would want to be friends with. Keep up the good work

Give a listen to their song that’s how it feels cool channel thanks

This was a huge album in early 1980, and they were projected to be the next big thing, but it just kinda fell apart after that. Co-founder and vocalist David Pack went on to be a famous music producer, and (according to Wikipedia) "served as producer and music director for President Bill Clinton's inaugurations in January 1993 and 1997. In 1997, the White House asked him to direct the music and produce the presidents' Volunteer Summit in Philadelphia for presidents Clinton, Bush, Carter and Ford. In 2000, he was asked to direct and produce Yamaha's Michael McDonald Lifetime Achievement Award Show at the L.A. Shrine for his good friend. Pack brought together Ray Charles, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs and Christopher Cross for the event. In 2005, he produced and directed the 2005 World Aids Day Concert at Saddleback Church in Orange County for author and pastor Rick Warren."

1978.

Cornelius Bumpus on the sax

Another production from the great Alan Parsons..Ambrosia wanted to be a Prog band in the beginning

I wish you would play the videos or the live. The group Player is a great band also please play. Much love.

Great and popular tune.Band was great when Dave Pack was a member Here are some of their best that were not a hit single,Holdin’ On To Yesterday,Nice Nice Very Nice,And Drink of Water.

Check out their album “Somewhere I’ve Never Travelled“ from 1976. It’s completely different in style than their radio hits, more art rock.

While most of Ambrosia's songs also fit into what you are enjoying so much, try "To Live and Die in LA" as a counterpoint. An unexpected twist from them. Also, a pretty good movie

What an underrated band! (May I request a reaction? Crazy Love by Poco. Same era. Terrific song.)

The Earth, Wind and Fire song you referenced is called "That's The Way Of The World" 💛
