Ambrosias three best albums from 1975, 1976 and
1980.
Los Angeles quartet Ambrosia, whose
founding members included guitarist/vocalist David
Pack, bassist/vocalist Joe Puerta, keyboardist
Christopher North, and drummer Burleigh Drummond,
fused symphonic art rock with a slickly produced
pop sound.
The group was discovered in 1971
by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta,
who featured Ambrosia as part of a so-called
All-American Dream Concert. However, it took them
four more years to get a record contract; Ambrosia
was released in 1975 and spawned the chart singles
"Holdin' on to Yesterday" and
"Nice, Nice, Very Nice." The latter was
based on Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s Cat's
Cradle. Ambrosia scored another hit in 1977 with a
cover of the Beatles' "Magical Mystery
Tour" from the film All This and World War II,
which they also appeared in.
North left the
group just before their biggest pop breakthrough
in 1978 with the number three hit "How Much I
Feel." Ambrosia followed this success in 1980
with another number three hit, "Biggest Part
of Me," and the number 13 follow-up
"You're the Only Woman."
