[@AMBROSIAofficial]

We truly appreciate all the wonderful comments, and support we are getting. Thank you to Wilburn Reactions for listening, and the fresh perspective. We are so glad you enjoyed. And on the organ was the fabulous Cristopher North. Stay safe, and we hope to see you all on the road once the world gets back to normal !

[@TheMinster1960]

I just want to say this album is a wonderful musical piece of art I've loved since I heard it back in '75 when I was 15. Decades later my brother and I finally got to see you guys live in Whittier, Ca. when you performed a set of your more progressive rock style material. You guys nailed it. Thank you for the beauty.

[@StevesFunhouse]

And we really appreciate you !!! God, I wish your group and groups like this were still mainstream instead of the crap they have out today.

[@rubbersole79]

Ambrosia is one of those legacy bands that never got the recognition they deserved. Unparalleled songwriting, musicianship, and the vocals....omg......Like "Roxy Music" and "Bread", their music was essential for date night. So many great memories of life..........

[@surfpsych]

🚩 So cool to see a response from the source!

[@alloallie]

And we love you !!! This is my fave of your songs.

[@larryvelasquez662]

No one solos like Ambrosia. One of my favorite bands of all times. This song made my mother cry. I always knew there was a deeper meaning that was touching her heart. I lost my mom not too long ago. This song connects me to her.

[@sbalak]

Goosebumps. I'm back in college in the 70,s. Caught me of guard with a flood of emotions. Thank you!

[@jimmayors2315]

Oh, it is so fun watching you younger kids "discover" the great music we took for granted in our day. Your parents were right. It's "old folks music" because it takes many years of listening to crappy music to understand the pure excellence of 60's, 70's, and early 80's music and musicians. One has to first grow up to appreciate it ;-)

[@tammydean3003]

Exactly! 🎶

[@angier5775]

Totally agree!! We were so lucky!!

[@richardcogbill6791]

Totally agree with your comment.

[@joelliebler5690]

Incredible song that had everything an Ambrosia fan would want!

[@felixkmgalanti9064]

The mighty David Pack and Ambrosia, it gets no better!

[@snots111]

A progressive haunting Beautiful song.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

What great music we had growing up.

[@joelliebler5690]

Those were the days when albums had so many great songs on them that not everyone could be released as a hit single!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️☮️🎼🎹🎤🎸

[@cometogether999]

Great, great 70's vibe. Engineered by Alan Parsons. Love, love, love this song.

[@ole9421]

Those organ swells/accents during the last chorus are like ocean waves crashing against my brain. I grew up on Ambrosia. They were one of those bands that could consistently put out a song that made you both want to fall in love and out of love, just so you could experience the longing and heartache in, David's voice.

[@SweetThing]

Exactly!

[@flash1660]

Produced by Alan Parsons and many of these guys played on the Alan Parsons project

[@rubbersole79]

Very cool. I did not know that.

[@thesunreport]

It's one of my favourite records...really good :)

[@billheineman472]

They ALL played on The Parson's Project's homage to Poe.

[@x0539p]

Love David Pack’s beautiful voice. Alan Parson;s just released a duet with David Pack as the lead vocalist called “I Won’t Be Lead Astray’”. They both sound wonderful today with David now being 70 years old. Love these reactions. Thanks for sharing.

[@workingman6681]

One of my favorite songs by Ambrosia. They are so good!

[@jbojoify]

Amazing production. Amazing arrangement. Amazing vocals.

[@vicschauberger2737]

I remember when it came out . I was 14 . Couldn't wait to hear it on FM radio . It's so 70's . Excellent !

[@bethking7348]

You can't go wrong with Ambrosia ❤

[@robertwalker1803]

Winners….period.They had at least 4 gigantic hits in the 70’s. All of us had memories of what we were doing when these songs came on….good and bad.

[@gregweatherford1150]

David Pack is the lead singer. DAVID PACK!!

[@PATRICKMCKILLIP]

You can't be harsh while listening to this song. Sooooo mellow. This song gives me the feel-goods, like Atlanta Rhythm Section's DO IT OR DIE.

[@mikefixx7177]

This song was amazing in the 70s and still is today, has so much feeling. Music like this will never be made today or 50 years from now.

[@builder309]

If possible, please thank your parents for exposing you to music that stirs the soul. I really enjoy watching you grow spiritually and emotionally.

[@saltypepper6526]

One of the “Greatest Freaking Songs!” 💖💐

[@ok-qt4kr]

Straight vibe drops from the jump...doesn't let up . Alltimer chill .

[@robertjones2728]

The name of the song says it all. Everyone who heres it, goes back to a time in their life that they'll never forget.

[@buddystewart2020]

Man, I haven't heard that in forever. That was a good soft rock tune.

[@timgrady4630]

As sensitive and thoughtful as it is deeply touching . All bases are covered in this masterpiece . Thanks unto infinity.

[@bangmon1000]

This is the first time I've heard this song. Great suggestion.

[@petebolton6324]

Time for a reaction to the Little River Band- another great group from the 70s “Feel Good Rock”. Try one of the following songs to start. Cool Change or Lonesome Loser. The band is tight from Australia- their songs have awesome harmonies.

[@SaverioP]

I actually saw Ambrosia and The Little River Band together way, way back in the day. The venue had sold out but they opened up the orchestra pit and sold tickets in there the day of the show, and I just happened to be at the ticketron outlet buying Ted Nugent tickets when they did. One of the best shows I've ever seen as I recall.

[@petebolton6324]

Thanks Rick I would have loved to see that show.

[@ole9421]

I whole heartedly 2nd that!!

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

How about , It's a long way there by LRB.

[@elaineh7993]

Love this song! Ambrosia did a fantastic job on this! My favorite band!

[@kellydelay18]

I know right it’s a perfect song

[@davidboivin7996]

This was their first hit on their first album.

[@TheMinster1960]

Nice, Nice Very Nice should be your next dip into the Ambrosia pool. It's the first track from their first album, and it's a wonderful song. You won't be disappointed.

[@trk327]

You back on the train!! Hit "Still not satisfied" "livin on my own" "your the only woman"

[@roymoore3156]

This was powerful, and it takes me back to the time and emotions of the day, and what a flashback!

[@allencarlson6128]

Thanks for acknowledging the correct definition of 'audio' :)

[@dinoamf5866]

"You're the Only Woman" was another huge hit of theirs I think you would enjoy

[@windnchgo]

This song has a dreamy ear-worm quality to it like the songs The Air That I Breath and I'm Not In Love - the melody gets in your brain and won't leave....

[@1bigrowdy]

Not to be forgotten Ambrosias first album was engineered by Alan Parsons and he produced their second album .They in turn played on Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination

[@cometogether999]

Props to the legend, Alan Parsons.

[@classicrocklady6288]

Haven't even heard your commentary yet...your face is saying it all! This is a kind of hidden gem!

[@carryjgful]

Thank you so much for appreciating this epic song ive loved since i was 13ith. Used to lay between speakers on the floor (didnt hav headphones) after school and then finally sang it when i was older & a soprano. Anyway its wonderful that you feel the talent in this kinda music. Keep expanding ur bubble. The 70s is gr8ness!

[@scottwocher9812]

Check out Time Waits for No One, Life Beyond LA or Rock and a Hard place to get a true feel for their instrumental prowess. Ambrosia's vocals are always incredible with every song. I really enjoy their song

[@scottwocher9812]

Heart to Heart.

[@scottwocher9812]

I grew up feeling that I was the only one who realized how great Ambrosia is since only their later ballads got a lot of radio play.

[@gregpusczek4473]

brilliant. the ultimate torch song

[@thunderraymond2645]

I am telling you that The Grass Roots have that sound you like give them a shot check out (Temptation eyes) or ( Midnight Confusions) or ( Live for today) just a few to get started 😎👍

[@gregharmon3797]

Agree

[@blitztim6416]

Some people like the older sappy pop songs, but this was when they were at their best. Do 'Nice, Nice, Very Nice' next.

[@karenj3611]

Live Ambrosia

[@bobduerwald9805]

David Pack's vocals are very distinctive and enjoyable. Some suggestions: From the same album - "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" and "Somewhere I've Never Traveled". David put out an album on his own titled "Anywhere You Go" with Many good songs. Lastly try a little known album by Kerry Livgren, former Kansas keyboardist titled "Seeds of Change" where David is lead vocal for the song "Ground Zero".

[@danhartman8582]

Their song , Your the only woman , another one of their hits .

[@bobcorbin3294]

Nice, Nice ,Very Nice and Time Waits for No One are the two preceding tracks on the album. I think you'll love all the transitions in Time Waits For No One. And nice nice very nice is based on a Kurt Vonnegut novel

[@billheineman472]

Guest preformer on this, their debut Lp ... Daniel Kobialka - violin who was an American violinist, and composer of some fine works., Sadly, David passed from this plane two years ago. (November 19, 1943 - January 18, 2021)

[@cynthiamartinez9669]

wow....this brought me way way back.....loved this song. Smoooooth

[@troilusand]

You are so cute that you say that now you are listening to "old folk's music" and enjoying it. Welcome to the club!!

[@joelliebler5690]

Dave Pack left after the first few albums. They were never the same after he left!

[@blitztim6416]

Five albums.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

This is top 10 for me all-time.

[@catherinethompson2525]

Love all of Ambrosias song they are so great!! I think a bit under rated!!

[@ferocitas1958]

Trust me, all of us who were teenagers in the 70s got this song engraved in our heads within seconds of hearing it. Ambrosia's first 2 albums, both nominated for Grammy awards, were known as their progressive rock albums while later albums had more of a pop, sometimes jazzy feel to them. For me, this song was their finest. And if you feel a little bit of that Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon" engineering quality to it, it's because Alan Parsons (genius that he was and is) was the engineer on both albums. One thing that has bothered me for a long time is the lack of credit that has been given to some truly great music that came out of 70s rock. Progressive rock was always my favorite and I remain grateful to the FM radio stations like KOME in San Francisco that we were all so dependant on to keep us informed of new music.

[@richardcogbill6791]

Ambrosia = food of the Gods. Ambrosia desert salad is good too. But yeah, the sound of Ambrosia is just delicious to the ears. You need to hear... " You're the Only Woman"

[@angier5775]

Thanks again for playing a song I loved back then!! How could I have forgotten this song?? 💖

[@tcanfield]

Thanks for this relic Chod ! I owned one album of theirs 44 yrs ago and never heard this song since. It was the best song I’ve heard from this band.

[@lonnieheuer1226]

David Pack, lead singer and guitarist. Check out life beyond LA

[@2715bunky]

Another amazing reaction Chod! This song hit me the same way when it came out when I was 13. Little River Band is a similar rabbit hole that you might explore.

[@lovelygivan1442]

Thank You for letting it play all the way through! Then giving your narrative

[@stevegirardmedia2255]

Hey brother, thanks for doing another Ambrosia tune. I saw that Mr. Puerta or one of the band’s current members dropped a comment in this thread, and so happy they’re tossing a bit of applause your way. With no radio play for most older songs, it’s up to word of mouth to pass on how great music was in the 70’s! I was with these guys from their first album, where “Holdin On..” is from… and though I thought they were a better ‘prog-ish’ band than a ‘pop hits’ band, their bank accounts may beg to differ! I was a big Fan of The songs that Joe was lead singer on, like ‘Drink of Water’… and in fact sang ‘Ready for Camarillo’ to one of my theater classes @ Penn State as an assignment. Love his voice! But ‘Holdin’ On…’ is one of my fave songs of all time because of all the things you mentioned in your reaction. The vibe is both cool and sad, Pack’s guitar tone is ridiculous, Joe’s bass notes are given space to breathe… and the guitar/ violin solo & back end solo is absolutely exquisite and heartbreaking. One more thing; you mentioned Chris North’s organ & church… My friends and I talk about the constant double meanings that Pack’s songs seem to have - they are love songs, but we feel they may have been about god/Jesus all along… not relationships… this song included. Check out Camarillo or If Heaven Could Find Me!

[@robertcussins2807]

Dude. Life Beyond LA. Tellin' ya man.

[@windnchgo]

Since you are now a fellow Ambrosia fan the next logical step is to check out The Alan Parsons Project. Why? Because all members of Ambrosia contributed to APP on their debut album Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe, also because Mr. Parsons produced Ambrosia's second album Somewhere I've Never Traveled. Parsons is a legendary producer who has worked with the Beatles, Ambrosia, Al Stewart - to name a few.

[@merlepatterson]

You forgot Alan Parson was Pink Floyd's engineer on Dark Side of the Moon.

[@oceangirlsix8795]

one of their best! glad u found it.

[@albertjflores8950]

I also grew up on Ambrosía , among many other awsome groups , San Antonio , Texas 😁

[@bwatson9094]

you know this is good...

[@craigmarkowski7156]

(Life beyond L.A.) Magical song !

[@bars4fd]

Very cool bro! I’m super stoked to see younger gens getting into this music!!! THIS song ~ for me? Wow! I LOVED this song when it came out on the radio!! And it was one of those tunes that they didn’t overplay, so i always wanted to hear it ~ like tuning in to the radio daily and hoping to GOD they would play this song! And then of course you just break down and buy the album or cassette when you can’t stand it any more lol. LOVE LOVE LOVE Ambrosia and you for covering this tune brother!! Good job!

[@sallysharp3845]

Love watching your musical journey. There are so many flavors to music, and not to everyone's taste. But you don't know that till you try it. Well done sir.

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

DAVID PACK!!! is the lead Singer

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

Next for them....NICE NICE VERY NICE!!!!!!!

[@mikecalderon5251]

I first heard this song in junior high. I'm 57 now and it affects me the same way as first hearing it. A song that makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I love listening to it, but there's a sadness afterwards. It's totally worth it though....

[@428chase]

ambrosia Dancin' by Myself Ambrosia - Nice, Nice, Very Nice Ambrosia - Time Waits For No One Ambrosia - World Leave Me Alone AMBROSIA - Make Us All Aware Ambrosia - Mama Frog Ambrosia - Life Beyond L.A. Ambrosia - Angola

[@keithetherington4824]

This is off there first album and one of my favorite songs growing up in the 70's.

[@suzanneprock7286]

Now you're getting to the great stuff!

[@Alan-lv9rw]

1975. Middle school. “Jaws” came out that summer.

[@joelliebler5690]

Please react to Nice Nice Very Nice! It is one of their very best!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Oh yeah, these guys were good.

[@gregwillert9061]

The best part? NO AUTOTUNE NEEDED!!!

[@kevinmarsh8922]

If you want to hear these guys rock out, try "Life Beyond LA", from the album of the same name.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Title track is killer on that record. I saw Amborsia open up for Heart at the Spectrum in 1978. Ambrosia opened with Life Beyond LA and Heart was touring Dog & Butterfly, opening of course with Cook With Fire! What a great show, from the fifth row!

[@womanonthinice1276]

My favorite grp in high school

[@stretchgilbert]

Nobody's Fault But Mine-Led Zeppelin

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

TOLD YOU!!!..I love this Album!!!!!!

[@timfrazier7589]

I think 🤔 this song is his reflection of his life with his lord and savior ❤😂😅😊

[@paulhansberry8168]

you mean that leslie organ

[@Really658]

More please.

[@yvonnejaime1266]

You should check out the song Keeper of the Seven Keys by Helloween. Rollercoaster of a song! Takes you on a journey.

[@hippiejoe969]

One of my favorite Ambrosia songs, 1st one I remember hearing. For another singer with a soft rock heart felt song, check out PAUL DAVIS (I GO CRAZY ) YES ...#HIPPIE JOE

[@garyhill2063]

REO Speedwagon Golden Country live has a great organ player

[@cometogether999]

Yes. And of course, the great Gary Richrath R.I.P.

[@tammiec4937]

Definitely check out the Little River Band!

[@SheenaRea]

Wilburn if you want to hear a MASSIVE pipe organ sound, listen to Ambrosia's *Drink of Water* which is a friggin' MASTERPIECE... I'm serious!!!

[@ralphvillanueva8724]

Wow, forgot about this one. The chorus has a Kansas vocal and chord change vibe.

[@ithaliem]

Their first 2 albums where great, but then the band changed their style which eventually led to a very commercial sound. The first song of this album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice is a classic, you have to do it next. The lyrics are inspired by great American novelist Kurt Vonnegut.

[@peppernagre3126]

DMB - WAREHOUSE

[@POWER-LINKS]

I've always been conflicted over the AUDIO / STUDIO thing. You just solved it for me. Changing it right now. So, just because you're smarted than me you have to throw it in my face? LOL

[@redfishradical]

I’ve learned to respect so many bands that I took so lightly or overlooked as a kid. GREAT EXAMPLE HERE! Great musicianship as well as vocals & lyrics! Alan Parsons mentions working with them & how under appreciated they were. Apparently they wanted to do Prog rock believe it or not! That violin is RIGHTEOUS playing off the organ & guitar! Hearing them with my new ears I really appreciate them now! GREAT JOB BRO!!

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

so Chod....Two things you love...Organ and Drums.....Try out Lee Micheals....Two guys...Keyboards (Lee Micheals) and Drums(Frosty)...start with..."Do You Know What I Mean"

[@anniegoodrich262]

Have you ever checked out the group War? Their song Low Rider is fabulous.
