David Pack - I Just Can't Let Go ft. Michael McDonald & James Ingram (Official Music Video)
In Tribute To A Beloved Friend & Legendary Artist James Ingram. This original 1985 recording by Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and David, was re-mixed & re-mastered to create this first time ever new video.
A Brief History About This Song:
It was written by David for his 1985 solo debut album "Anywhere You Go" on Warner Bros. records expressly to feature Michael & James.
The original version of the song went top-10 on Billboard charts.
In the mid-90's this version was re-arranged and produced by Oliver Leiber, Shaun LaBelle and David for the Ambrosia Anthology LP as a bonus track.
The original vocals were kept, but David & Michael added new vocal improvs, and the great Everette Harp added a sax solo.
Decades later, David discovered that fans had created hundreds of videos online of this song that inspired him to finally create his own video and dedicate it to James.
The original '85 demo vocals by James, Michael, and David were restored, digitized, and used acapella to open this video, then layered on top of the existing track to create a special "Trinity Remix" for this video.

David Pack has one of the best voices of any male singer I've heard in my over 60 years
If you are reading this David I would like to say on behalf of all fans of music 🎶 that you are a treasure and your music will go on forever ❤️.God speed James
That is the closest to sounding like a full-blown Gospel choir that a male trio can ever muster.
Still heartbroken with James demise. David pack's voice hasn't change a bit. This song, so great. I could not ask for more James, David and Michael together singing.
The three power houses Michael McDonald David Pack and James Ingram ❤
It gives me chills everytime i hear the blending of three majestic voices. This masterpiece is worthy to be preserved and be served until the year 4000 and onwards.

David you have true fans from Ambrosia days. Still listening in 2023.
Three of the most beautiful voices ever. And during this difficult time, the tribute shows a tremendous respect for a fellow musician that has no color barrier. Just a love for a man, his character, and his music. I only hope this could be a bench mark for things to come. RIP Brother of soul!

David Pack, your voice is one of a kind. Just as Michael McDonald and James Ingraham. I grew up listening to you guys and how fortunate for us to experience true craftsmanship of this caliber. Each time I hear you sing, it hits me to my very soul. Thank you for all of the wonderful songs you have wrote over the years. May your friend James Ingraham rest in peace with the angels. Look forward to hearing your voice again with a new album. Blessings and Peace to you. 🎤🎶🎸

You guys music is so cool. What we need for healing this country.
Hearing those voices together, is like a time capsule of all my music memories spanning the 8 decades I’ve lived in. This also brought back a memory of when I met Dave at a wedding reception. I think it was Laurel Canyon. I think Michael Omartian, Mark Frajilian Rachel Meclish, Greg Laurie were there. I was the sound guy so forgive me for not recalling who got married. Anyhow, Dave sang great as always.
Beautiful, David! If there were a million people singing, I would recognize your magnificent voice among them. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of music with us!

Me too! Well said.
I love this song in 70's slow rock jazz. I like James Ingram , David Pack and missed their voices together ❤. Thanks to David Pack for this beautiful song. I cant let you go ❤
I was a lead singer in bands back in the 70's and 80's. Almost everything we performed was with three part harmonies and it was a joy to feel that feeling when everyone was right in their parts. We never came close to sounding like you guys of course but the music that you David with Ambrosia and of course Michael McDonald with his solo career and with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers inspired us to no end. I wasn't that familiar with James Ingram but I love this song and understan the kinship that you had with him was deep. Thank you for the music David Pack, You are an Icon with a one of a kind voice.
I've always been a fan of both James Ingram and David Pack when he was with Ambrosia, and a huge fan of Michael McDonald as well. The way this song was written and executed is phenomenal. I still tear up when I hear these three voices in harmony. R.I.P. James Ingram, and Thank You.

This is a little eerie...I have just been listening to Ambrosia, over and over, today! I had no idea that David Pack! Thank you. I just heard that one of the members of the Association was connected somehow with Ambrosia. We are losing so many of our greatest......reasons to get to heaven!!
I listen to ""I Just Can't Let Go" every week. The heartfelt lyrics and orchestration are so soulful and powerful. But it's the awesome harmonies by David Pack, Michael McDonald and James Ingram (who died too soon in Jan. 2019) that make this great song extra special! Thank you, David, for this beautiful tribute.

This wonderful tribute takes me back to 1986 when I sent a letter (yep, handwriting, stamp, etc.) to David. How surprised I was several weeks later to receive a lovely typewritten reply. We communicated about our mutual affinity for James Ingram, Mike McDonald, et al. David, you remain a decent, loving gentleman and a dynamic artist. Our world needs more like you.

Hello David, I wanted to take this opportunity to speak on your wonderful, heartfelt video. It brought tears to my eyes and a hugh smile to my face. Absolutely beautiful! At the age of 18, I feel in love with you after first hearing the words to "That's How Much I Feel ". (Who didn't)? Something in your voice seemed to pull my heart from my chest, and I was lost to you and Ambrosia! Over the years I have had to replace my Anthology cd several times due to wear and tear. Now to see you have emerged again is pure delight! As a fan, I am so very happy that I am able to say my love for your lyrics, music, and voice lives on! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Yes, the world needs more like you. P.S. The story, song, symphony of "Cowboy Star" is genius!!!!!

Wow !! What else can one say ? 3 voices blending into a singular masterpiece.
James Ingram is one of my all time favorite singers. He had such a great voice. The three of these guys singing together was a great collaboration. 3 of the best vocalists in the history of American mainstream music. Love it. Never gets old.❤️
Beautiful song, thank you David and I'm sorry for your loss.
David you have a voice from our Almighty Jesus! You will be blessed from God forever and may God Bless your life in a special way! I am sorry about your wife’s passing, but truly you will see her in heaven along with James and friends! I will always pray for peace, love, joy and comfort for Year 2024! I hope to see you at a concert or somewhere in the future! God Bless You and your band! Rhonda
Great voices, love 'em. R.I.P. James Ingram. I also love his songs. Thank David for sharing such a beautiful tribute.
Beautiful, David. Lovely. 🕊Fly high, James.🕊
James' voice was totally unique, soulful, smooth and instantly recognizable. Lovely tribute!
. . . thanks, brother Pack; you're truly a "Salt of the earth" person . . . shalom brother.
This is sacred music as far as I’m concerned. I remember this from HS years. I always felt like the whole world should know this song.
I’ve always loved any background that Michael McDonald added to a group, he’s amazing.
How in the hell is this song not a classic. Three of the best voices ever sing one of then best songs ever....thank you James, Michael & David.
One of my favorite songs. David is great. Add in Michael McDonald and James Ingram and you get utter perfection! What a fantastic blending of three wonderful artists.
I cried. There, I said it. I did not know Ambrosia had such three wonderful singers in a trio: David Pack, Michael McDonald, and may he rest in Peace, James Ingram.
Dave I got your Movin' On cd in my car right now. Wife & I love you dude!
who in the world would put a thumbs down on this great song that is so timeless

Missing James so much but I've been listening to you all since I was a little girl on the little island of Jamaica. I'd pretend I was there singing with you guys. Love Michael also you guys are great. Ambrosia meant so much to me as a child growing up. I cried because I'm in Ocala and I didn't know you guys performed a few months ago here. Stuck here because of the virus. Hopefully, I'll be home back in Jamaica. I vacationed here for a few years now and I can't believe I miss Ambrosia in Ocala. I use to say "Angelic Voices". So 2015 I was in a semicoma literally died and believe it or not without my memory I remember hearing this song. I have to meet you one day David.
David is something else. Beautiful voice
I have been a fan since the 70’s of David. Beautiful man and soul.
Excellent song and performance. Thank you David for this and the many beautiful songs over the years.
Dear David. This video and song brought tears to my eyes. James Ingram was one of a kind. He will be missed by many. Please continue sharing your videos/music to the world. Sincerely, God Bless
wow beautiful so nice ... tears thats incredible ..what a tribute to a friend
There are no words to describe this song, what this trio vocal combination does to the heart when hearing it. There are beautiful songs and harmonies everywhere but WOW….. It is elevating to the Heavens I always love Ambrosia!!! So many great songs but I can see why this one is so special to the writer
My wife loved this song. Unfortunately she lost her battle with cancer in January, but it serves as a reminder to her. Thank you David.

Davids voice still the same after all those yrs. So nice to listen to....
I love it David :)
Damn they still got it
Dear David, I've lately been playing songs of my 'youth'. I'm 55 years old. And listening to your songs just lifts my spirits up. I'm from Manila. And I spent the best years of my life listening to your songs. THANK YOU. God bless you.
You were truly the other "Trimity". James your voice will be missed here on earth. I hope you are joining my mom and her sister-in-law in God's heavenly choir.
Man your voice is out of this world wow just amazing
He was amazing!! This song is just amazing!! Three amazing artists!
Dude, you are SO unsung, it's a travesty. Love your artistry David. Hope to meet you someday and tell you in person how much I appreciate your amazing talents.
Beautiful vocals all day long! 🥰
Very poignant and touching. Beautiful tribute to James Ingram, David.

I really thank you for your wonderful songs, because of you I heard such that wonderful from the heart which I played and listened to every day. greetings from Philippines! from christine
David you are a beautiful man inside and out. I fell in love with your music in 1975 and your lyrics in the love ballad’s resonated home to me. First love was so intense, scary and wonderful. Thanks for the years of great music and it’s nice to see you are still out there performing.I love watching your video’s and remembering how I felt way back in the 70’s & 80’s.Thanks for sharing your gift with the world.
God bless you David Pack🙏! Thanks for this video👍..I totally forgot about this song of my youth😌..But hearing it now, as a grown adult and someone who likes to write songs, My appreciation for your music and artistry is even GREATER. I used to “secretly” cry whenever I heard you’re the biggest part of me, something about the sound & melody touched my heart, my soul, as a youngster😥😌..I was 18 when this song, here , came out & remember it well now & is now my new REVIVED FAVS👏👏👏. Mr. Ingram seemed to be a wonderful man, with a great soul🙏..He seemed like a deep guy, who sang with conviction. God bless you and your heart and may He comfort you in your time sadness🙏😔🙏😔🙏..Thanks for sharing this👏🙌👏🙌👍🙋♀️..

What beautiful tribute David. James Ingram was so talented. So sorry to loose such a outstanding singer. RIP James 😢😔💜
Wow, I had forgotten about this song. I've listened to a lot of 70's and 80's including Ambrosia, but forgot about this masterpiece. What a harmonious song. Thank you David, James, and Michael!!
HUGE respect to you Mr David Pack ...
You still sound wonderful David. Those harmonies are just....wow!
Such a beautiful track and those voices! 🎶 David Pack , brilliant artist, wonderful human being. So loved. 💙
Timeless song♥️ David Pack is one of the Genius Composer/Singer😍
wow goose bump. i love your song .. i'm one of you filipina's fun from france. thank you for the music.
This song is so pure and beautiful. It reaches down into my soul and makes me tear up when I don't want to. Jayzus it's so so good. Every little piece of it is sooo good.
David sounding as good as ever. love, love your voice
This is an excellent example of music as one of the "ties that bind friendships."
It just doesn’t get any better than that! ❤️
God bless you David Pack for creating this masterpiece again, and again. James was certainly one of a kind and the three of you together have stirred the hearts of many lovers for generations. That beautiful church adds an incredible dimension to this video. Thank you for adding that in. We are blessed to light candles in these holy places for our loved ones in the faith. Blessings to you and to the whole world.
I don't how I found my way here, but I'm happy that I did. What a beautiful tribute to your friend James Ingram. He's a talent that is surely missed by me. RIP James. I have been a fan of Ambrosia forever and still listen to their music on a regular basis. One of my favorites is The Midnight Special 1978 - 17 - Ambrosia - How Much I Feel. The last verse always tears me up inside.
Oh David. Your voice has always been so pure and so ethereal to me. I could listen to your music all day. You have touched me in my life with your messages in your lyrics and your love and faith. As a Take 6 fan since 1988, Ill always remember that you sang "Biggest Part of Me" before they remade it. God Bless you David, I would love to collaborate with you someday
That acapella harmony you added at the beginning gave me chills! You guys could have done the whole song acapella if you ask me. WOW!!! Loved the personal pictures and videos of you three, too.
One of my idols. I love his songs.David Pack
Been cryin' to this golden track for 25 years now- was there ever a better vocal track anytime, by anybody- period!
Fantastic voices!It's my regret,I never have a chance to watch James Ingram in concert.
That song was on my favorite album of the last decade. That solo album David did almost 40 years ago is a masterpiece. Every song is pure gold.
Love this great song....SUPER LOVE. Plus the 3 great Music Legends.... -Greetings from ❤️ The Philippines 🇵🇭 Keep safe everyone! ❤️
One of the best song ever (Greetings from buenos aires argentina)

Much, much respect for David Pack. He positively pays tribute to black artists he got to work with throughout his career and not many guys, ie, Steve lukather Eddie van Halen mentions their interaction with black artists so positively, ie, Thriller, Africa etc.
Three of the greatest singers of all time....
Ah, David, you till have that unmistakably great voice that we all still and will alway love, man. Such a huge talent, and this is such a beautiful song and tribute to the late, great James Ingram.
Enough to make you cry. Beautiful! ♥️
