Ambrosia is an American rock band formed in southern California in 1970. Ambrosia had five Top Forty hit singles between 1975 and 1980, and after a hiatus during the latter 1980s most of the original band members have been active with the group for the past 25 years to the present day. The group was founded as a quartet with guitarist/vocalist David Pack, bassist/vocalist Joe Puerta, keyboardist Christopher North, and drummer Burleigh Drummond. They chose the name Ambrosia in 1970 to represent a vision of their music: all shades, textures, colors and styles. While Ambrosia had many radio hits in the 1970s, much of the material on their five albums is progressive in nature. The first album, Ambrosia, produced by Freddie Piro, was released in 1975. It spawned the Top 20 chart single Holdin On To Yesterday as well as the minor hit Nice, Nice, Very Nice. The latter sets to music the lyrics to a poem in Kurt Vonneguts Cats Cradle. The album was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Engineered Recording (other than Classical). Alan Parsons was the engineer for Ambrosias first album and the producer for their second. https://youtube/watch?v=RkAmPNCK6Vo&feature=kp
