They are one of millions reasons the 70’s music was the best decade .

[@ConwayCreator]

🎶How Much I Feel🎶 A bigger top 40 song from Ambrosia

[@saudabrahams]

Great song, but this is better IMO

[@ramsin99]

How Much I Feel brings them to a NEW Level.

[@williammunson5832]

Biggest Part Of Me was written because of How Much I Feel. He wrote the song to make it up to his wife, as the last verse of How Much I Feel wasn't too flattering to her. Both great songs!

[@Noelle0026]

David Pack’s voice is so good!

[@gerib4234]

Great Band! "Holdin' On To Yesterday" is a MUST!

[@drycanyon]

Yes! Holding On To Yesterday is my favorite Ambrosia song.

[@allengray5748]

On board (that Yacht) HOLDING ON!! ☮️

[@BillGraper]

So is "How Much I Feel."

[@kennethgodwin7769]

@@drycanyon To me it feels like a haunting tune, very good song.

[@robertg7396]

If you want a band with phenomenal harmonies, I would suggest checking out "The Little River Band". I don't believe you've done them yet. Songs; "take it easy on me". "Man on your mind". "Lonesome Loser", "Lady", "Cool Change" and "Reminiscing" are all great places to start! 😃

[@gerib4234]

Agreed! Don't forget "Night Owls" and "It's A Long Way There" 2 of their best!

[@jowbloe3673]

*Cool Change!*

[@tommypauly3249]

I love the song" Cool Change"😍

[@tommypauly3249]

Ambrosia means " food and drink of the gods" back during the Greek gods, just sayin' 😉😍🤔👀

[@Mare_bear738]

Yes, Little River Band!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Is there nothing more than the compositional power of the 70s songwriters? That era was on fire for perfectly written songs with great lyrics, vocals, and harmonies, pulling from the best of soul, blues, R&B, rock, you name it. Ambrosia, food of the musical gods.

[@Mare_bear738]

"How Much I Feel", You're the Only Woman" or "Holdin' onto Yesterday" all great picks.

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

I was 15 when it came out and loved it first time I heard it and it still has the same effect! Crazy!

[@johntremmel3949]

In the 70s we honored women👊

[@Sanity1234]

And women respected themselves a lot more than today.

[@kallsop2]

This was mainstream rock back in the 70's. This was when FM started taking over from AM radio and their Top 40 based music. Country music followed along as well in the later 70's.

[@1BobsYourUncle]

I can still remember being awe struck by the difference in sound when FM hit the air. Real stereo! Haha

[@rbodee]

"You're The Only Woman" and "How Much I Feel" are two more Ambrosia love songs that are worth a listen. I would recommend Billy Joel's "Just As You Are".

[@beedeegee9374]

Billy Joel’s **** “Just the Way You Are”****

[@Timmayytoo]

This is one of those songs that is so obviously a hit, I like to imagine them in the studio recording it and hearing it get better and better as they add the different parts of the song.

[@jowbloe3673]

For more "Yacht Rock", you should listen to *Sailing* by _Christopher Cross_ (considered an archetype of the style according to Wikipedia), and *Cool Change* by _Little River Band_ (LRB) which keeps the sailing vibe going.

[@AlanKenny-y8e]

Yes, Time In A Bottle (Jim Croce)

How Much I Feel is even better. Love song with a twist.

[@ExpatBear-58]

I could listen to David Pack all night long.

[@lilettegriffin1672]

And I do! 1:44

[@denismansfield8876]

SUGGESTION - HOLDIN ON TO YESTERDAY. While I prefer their earlier Alan Parsons progressive tunes, they had several hits with the soft rock sound. I saw them in 2018, with Firefall opening, and they were great ... David Pack, the lead singer, had passed.

[@kallsop2]

I remember going down a rabbit hole back in the early 80's finding all of the albums I had that Alan Parsons had worked on aside from Alan Parsons Project.

[@denismansfield8876]

@@kallsop2 How many did you find? Similarly, Todd Rundgren. Until recently, I recalled Joe Walsh produced Dan Fogelberg's Souvenirs album. When we had our vinyl collections, it was great to review the credits. I stopped with cassettes and CDs.

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

David Pack and Alan Parsons are friends. They did a cover of the Beatles song, if I Fell during lockdown a few years ago. It is awesome and worth checking out. David is still with us, by the way.

[@kallsop2]

@@denismansfield8876 I had Abbey Road, McCartney & Wings Red Rose Speedway, DSOTM, Year Of The Cat, Time Passages and Ambrosia. I'd have to go back and look through for the Rundgren ones, forgot about Walsh on Souvenir's. It was interesting reading the liner notes on albums then especially when you would see people who were just shy of their own big break while playing as studio musicians. "Hired Gun" was a really good documentary about studio musicians.

[@kallsop2]

@@carolyncappitelli1460 I was just reading about that, will have to check it out.

[@leepeartlifeson3311]

You've got to do "Holdin' on to Yesterday" and "How Much I feel" by Ambrosia, and i second the recommendation of the person who suggested Jim Croce "Time in a Bottle" and "Photographs and Memories." Beautiful classics.

[@MaureenBaker-k5p]

How much i feel - you will love

[@charlesburris6314]

David Pack was a talented lead singer. Have a great day!

[@TerryKrysinski]

Their debut album is pure gold. Not quite as commercial as their pop hits,altho the hit 'Holdin' On To Yesterday' was from this album. It's a pure blend of rock,pop & prog all rolled up into one fab album! Every song is fabulous! T

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

You need to see the video with all of them singing and playing instruments. It's amazing. David Pack and the band are truly blue eyed soul brothers.

[@bobduerwald9805]

David Pack has one of the most recognizable voices. Ambrosia had many hits: Holdin' On To Yesterday, How much I Feel, You're The Only Woman.... For a couple of lesser known songs with David Pack try Ground Zero where David Pack joins Kerry Livgren(formerly from Kansas). Pack's voice soars to incredible heights. Then from his solo album try When Your Love Was Almost Mine. I'm sure you will enjoy both songs.

[@dewman0269]

When Sam starts chair dancing you know the song is killer...lol... I loved this group back in the day and I done remember them being around for a long time but in my estimation they were one of the under rated groups of the day... They have more great songs to listen to if you want to go down that rabbit hole... Another great reaction guys... See you on the next one... Keep being awesome !!!...

[@robertlear2712]

If you like sugary, romantic, super smooth soft rock love songs no one does it better than Ambrosia

[@jamesgeorge5276]

Back in the summer of 1980 this song was at the top of the Rb/Soul and they even played this on the soft jazz stations also as well as soft rock.😊

[@joelliebler5690]

So many great romantic pop songs by Ambrosia yet their best music was actually their early progressive rock style with songs such as Drink of Water, Nice, Nice, Very Nice,Somewhere I’ve Never Traveled, and Holdin’ On To Yesterday! Incredible songs and far more interesting!

[@jamesanthony5257]

All four members of Ambrosia performed on some of the songs on the first Alan Parsons Project album, “Tales of Mystery and Imagination”, shortly after Alan had engineered their 1st album. He produced their second album.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

" How Much I Feel." Ambrosia is 🔥. Love their songs to this day. Want to remember what you mean to each other, play this.

[@george217]

Bread's "Baby, I'm-a want you" is another one that you two might like.

[@jowbloe3673]

*How Much I Feel* was their only other top ten hit, and my favorite.

[@johneldridge8678]

GREAT reaction!!! Excellent song.

[@steveperelli3305]

Ambrosia - “Livin’ On My Own”. This song is total fire. Ya won’t be able to sit still with this one, what a grove!

[@willfromyadkinville]

oh yeah! you are going to smile!!!!!

[@Eric4471066]

This song was Ambrosia's second Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song peaked at the #3 spot in the summer of 1981. No doubt that this song is a definitely banger indeed!!! By the way, some r&b stations in.the 1980s played artists like Ambrosia, Hall and Oates and Michael McDonald. This type of music is called blue-eyed soul.

[@ToddSauve]

Ambrosia is pronounced with a zha sound on the end. It is hard to imagine just how big they were in the 70s and 80s. They were on literally every rock station. I remember reading a review on the band back in the 1980s (I think!) and their producer was saying that to expand the band's music horizons and cognizance he took them to a classical music concert, hoping they would find inspiration to add to their already formidable list of hits. Some of Ambrosia's music is timeless no doubt about it! 😉💖🎸

[@Mare_bear738]

Three Dog Nights, another great group!!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Coming this week!

[@helgar791]

One of my top ten all time favorite blue-eyed soul songs. These guys doing "How Much I Feel" is also a great cut. However, the spiritual originator of this kind of music, Smokey Robinson doing "Ooh Baby Baby", especially the live, black and white version from around 1966 is really the truly great cut. You get to see the appeal of the very young Smokey and you get to see his great stage presence while hearing the sweetest voice in R&B/R&R history.

[@judydubiel]

This is one of my top ten songs …. Ever

[@stevegauthier9838]

"Holdin on to Yesterday" from the band debut album gives a great sense of the band's instrumental chops as well as their superb vocals. Oddly though Ambrosia is considered a Yacht rock band based on their later nits, they were at least starting out a Prog Rock outfit.

[@capstan50g]

Such a great R&B song, with jazzy chord voicings in the vocals and a wonderful lead vocal.

[@bobdelp2023]

HEY PHIL, HI SAM! 😊TOP OF THE MONDAY OF COURSE 💯HERE'S A COUPLE MORE THAT WERE HITS OF THEIRS : HOLDIN ON TO YESTERDAY, HOW MUCH I FEEL 👍

Great Reaction!! Ambrosia has many great hits, one that comes to mind is "How Much I Feel". One of my absolute favorite! Also- off topic, you all should check out "Nothing From Nothing by Billy Preston. I'm aware that you guys have done multiple reactions to The Beatles, well fun fact, Billy Preston was considered the "fifth beatle". He was invited by George Harrison himself!

As mentioned by others, for a very different sound from Ambrosia, listen to "Holden on to Yesterday". great song produced by Alan Parsons.

I just watched your reaction to the Terry Fox story, which was both beautiful and heartbreaking. I can’t believe I’d never heard of him before! I’m a 66-year old from Arkansas, and I lost my son, age 41, to cancer a year ago, so this story really resonated with me and inspired me. I found another video/documentary about some wonderful Canadians in Gander, Newfoundland, and what they did to help on 9/11. It’s called Operation Yellow Ribbon, done by Tom Brokow. It’s a powerful msg and I think y’all should watch and react. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ your channel and your reactions! Keep it up! Thanks! 😊😊😊😊😊

[@ememnicholas565]

Ambrosia only released 5 albums before they broke up, but they were all excellent. The first 2 albums were very much progressive rock. The next 2 were blue-eyed soul/rock/pop. The final album was back to a more progressive rock sound. I like all of their offerings, but I especially love the progressive albums: "Ambrosia", "Somewhere I've Never Travelled", and "Road Island". Alan Parsons engineered their first album. Then Ambrosia played on Alan Parson Project's first album: "Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Edgar Allen Poe". Ambrosia's main lead singer, David Pack, left the band to start a solo career and he also worked as a producer. The band dissolved for a good long while, but then got back together (sans David Pack) many years later. Joe Puerta, lead guitar, also shared the lead vocal role with David. He went on to work with Bruce Hornsby and the Range as lead guitarist. David Pack has appeared on numerous Alan Parsons Project albums. He also released a couple of solo albums that are very good. He has the voice of an angel and still sounds great. I was lucky enough to see Ambrosia at a tiny venue in Myrtle Beach, SC around 1980 or so and they sounded amazing. An interesting tidbit I read about Ambrosia, when the first album was released and did very well, they had to wait for David Pack to finish school before they could go on tour.

[@oldsoldier4u814]

If you're looking for a good love song, I'd recommend "When I'm With You" by Sheriff! They were kind of a one hit wonder in the early 80's but it's one of my all time favorites!!!

[@dennissanjuan7406]

The bands during the 70's are bunch of hopeless romantics. The slow rock genre started in this era. Songs from Bread, Ambrosia, Player, Bee Gees, etc. dominated the radio during that time.
