This is Ambrosia's best song in my opinion. They had many good ones.

@jonniiinferno9098 9 месяцев назад

absolutely agree with you on this - i like their other songs - but this one is their Grand-Slam !!!

@toddkobylarz4758 5 месяцев назад

agreed

@SheenaRea 3 месяца назад

This is a masterpiece! 🙂

@gregscupholm254 9 месяцев назад

David Pack is an amazing singer in a vastly underrated band. Not sure what else you may have reviewed by them, but ''You're the Biggest Part of Me'' and ''How Much I Feel'' were radio staples for decades with good reason. You'll love 'em.

@11BlackLamb 9 месяцев назад

Being born in 65 in Los Angeles and a Radiohead this was also a staple brother, oh yeah 😁

@larrywilliams1372 9 месяцев назад

I believe they may have done "How Much I Feel". Maybe on Patreon. Others will chime in if I am wrong.

@homerunhomeshow7201 9 месяцев назад

gotta add "You're the only Woman" to your reactions list. Has that sick keyboard solo in it. All great songs!

@joelliebler5690 9 месяцев назад

Pop hits for them though they had more soulful tunes like Drink of Water.

@marktrail8624 9 месяцев назад

There's that overused word again. Have you got anything new in your vocab?

@sherrys5172 9 месяцев назад

Your the Only Woman and Biggest Part of Me and How Much I Feel should've been first for Ambrosia but glad you got here finally.

@maryannturton9830 9 месяцев назад

So funny you said that because I have always liked Ambrosia, but I have never heard this song.I am loving the psychedelic and funky sound of it! Actually,if I didn't see the name of the band,I would never know this was Ambrosia by the instrumental alone.

@jellyrollnorton 9 месяцев назад

makes sense they started with Ambrosia’s first hit to me

@gibsongirl2100 2 месяца назад

This song way outclasses those two.

@cherylwoodward 9 месяцев назад

This is S tier for me and I am a Zep, Floyd, Yes fan. It has everything and the layering and lush production are superb not to mention the vocals. Just a stand out song from my youth. It never gets tiresome.

@humboldtharry1289 7 месяцев назад

Plus for me it gives me flashback feelings/memories of back then. Some tunes do that to me. Baker Street is another. Alright I’m done rambling 💨

@DM-hk4cw 9 месяцев назад

My favorite Ambrosia song. David Pack is a stellar vocalist, also. As a kid listening on AM radio, you could not get the full effect of the layers. As a 60-year-old, I now appreciate it even more.

This was incredible, even on AM car radio during the tumultuous seventies. Caught Ambrosia as an opening act for Genesis in 1979. They were all that, and then some.

@sallyatticum 5 месяцев назад

I saw them open for Doobie Bros in 1978 and I LOVED them. They blew the Doobies out of the water, IMO.

@DropAnchor1978 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia was outstanding because they began as a first-rate prog/rock band on their first two albums. They then morphed into a first-rate LA jazz/pop R&B direction. Both were successful incarnations. Superb musicians and vocals.

@ptr250 9 месяцев назад

This is from the first album.

@marktrail8624 9 месяцев назад

They and ELO were heavily influenced by the Moody Blues

@steveturner3999 9 месяцев назад

This was released when I was a Junior in High School. Loved it then and even more now as it reflects the music I grew up with. Never realized how good we had it back in the day.

@icmman7 9 месяцев назад

funny but i always knew it was good and thought it would get better as time went on...got waaay worse. maybe this is why theres so many young reactors and i love it.

@RicoCosta317 9 месяцев назад

@davidtexter913 9 месяцев назад

Wow, I haven't heard this song in 35 years!! Good pick! 👍

@moniphil 9 месяцев назад

Oh my!!! I love, love, love this song. In the ‘70s, I didn’t realize how great it was. In the last few years I realized it was MUCH more than just another late 70s soft rock song. That entire album is reaction worthy!!! This isn’t even the best known song on the album. And fans differ on which song from this album is the best.

@moniphil 9 месяцев назад

I’ve requested this song, but apparently didn’t sell it well. 😂

For sure. Heard it after many years and took it to my cover band. Everyone was saying they forgot about this one and within two weeks we were playing it out.

@sandipage1471 9 месяцев назад

When an instrument cries ....its so awesome.

@sln104 9 месяцев назад

I don’t say this about many songs. Pink Floyd has a few as do some other bands. I call this song a masterpiece, where everything, lyrics, vocals, harmonies, instruments, and production all come together in a great song. S-tier for me.

@vicschauberger2737 7 дней назад

It's the devastating moment when ,intellectually, you know it's over , but emotionally you're not willing to accept that fact. One of the great ,underrated ,70's songs .

That mix, that panning, reverb, and layering of the guitar, those backups, that violin, that mix. Fantastic tune!

@pamcruz9134 9 месяцев назад

We gotta have MORE Ambrosia, it's a must 😍🔥

@lisamorrison2149 9 месяцев назад

I always thought Ambrosia was a Yacht Rock band, as only hearing their popular hits on the radio. I thought this song was beautiful.

@ballyastrocade5672 9 месяцев назад

The "yacht rock" (or "blue-eyed soul") that came a bit later in their career (3rd or 4th album) was where they had the most airplay success, to be sure, but their first couple of albums were very much prog-rock like this. :-)

@britannicvalente 7 месяцев назад

Please try Drink of Water off the same album, if you haven't already. One of my absolute favorite songs.

@jeffreypowell1656 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia is one of my favorite bands. Some great songs. Great songwriting and musicianship.

@richardconnolly4835 9 месяцев назад

I was so lucky to be a teenager in the 70s. Got to hear the best of the 60s, the cornucopia of the 70s and then best of the 80s. This song was so atmospheric, creating a whole mood like Black Water, Holding Back the Years or Baker Street. Emotional impact!

@user-hm4yc7dx9l 2 месяца назад

Exactly

@gibsongirl2100 9 месяцев назад

My favorite Ambrosia song! Amazing harmonies, full of sadness and longing; very moving, without being saccharin. So much great music came out of the 70s!

@happymethehappyone8300 9 месяцев назад

100% Agreed & Roughly commented the same thing.

@tashakomaroff2982 9 месяцев назад

I jumped on my phone when I saw the title. One of my favorite songs of all time, probably because of the plaintive, beseeching lyrics sung with perfect authenticity. Loved your reaction and thanks for giving it a go!

@rootbox 9 месяцев назад

@andyman58 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia was prog rock before they became mainstream. Try some more tracks off that album, stellar stuff.

@fishfood8719 9 месяцев назад

Nice, Nice, Very Nice is has more of a prog sound. One of my favorites.

You two guys are making me feel guilty because I’m thinking we took this great music for granted. Thanks for playing this. ♥️🎶

@keithdewitt8956 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia's debut album is incredible. So many people don't realize that Ambrosia were a progressive rock band before they changed more into a pop/rock, yacht rock band. Check out "Nice, Nice, Very Nice". My favorite Ambrosia song.

@betseyr.9081 9 месяцев назад

Add “Drink of Water” to that as well, really not a bad track on the debut album IMO!

@jdw5678 9 месяцев назад

I was going to mention this too. "Nice Nice Very Nice" is a phenomenal piece, unlike any of their other well-known tracks. The lyrics were written by author Kurt Vonnegut Jr.! The influence of Alan Parsons is definitely there too. They never returned to a progressive sound like that, but it was definitely fascinating and cool. The Little River Band did something similarly progressive with their first hit "It's a Long Way There."

@ptr250 9 месяцев назад

Dance With Me George is one the best prog songs of all time.

@carlfisher3924 9 месяцев назад

A lot of people also don't realize that,Nice, nice is based on a lyric from the Kurt Vonnegut book Cats Cradle

@unclefrank4455 7 месяцев назад

This song was released when I was in middle school heading into high school. The memories this song brings now that I'm 60 are so great and sweet. I really miss those days. For me this song surpasses "S" and is a "T".

Now we’re talking! Awesome sounds from Ambrosia. Wishing You Were Here by Chicago is a little bit similar to this. Finally, please listen to Someone Saved My Life Tonight by Elton John.

@tonyd3345 9 месяцев назад

Such an amazing mood to the song. Rips your guts out. One of my faves. Great reaction. 🎉

@lashedbutnotleashed1984 9 месяцев назад

This is from their first album, and that album is fantastic. It is mostly influenced by progressive rock for sure. "Mama Frog" is a trip and "Time Waits For No One" is also fabulous.

@jaquestraw1 9 месяцев назад

Haven't heard this ages. Great track!

@andyb7942 9 месяцев назад

I commented on this recently on the Silver video - though other eras are best for other musical genres, I strongly feel that the mid-70s were the peak period for pop music. So much diversity of instrumentation, fantastic musicianship, wonderful production values, and authentic emotional expression.

@scottmarleneking6298 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree with you! A lot of acoustic instruments flavoring the mix, and not just your normal 6 string guitar and piano. You had harpsichords and dobros and kazoos and dulcimers and chimes and marimbas and flugelhorns and bass saxes and clarinets and oboes. And not just by studio musicians or for-hire orchestra members-- the bands themselves could play these instruments. So much spice and atmosphere!

@submandave1125 9 месяцев назад

I’ve frequently commented that mid to late ‘70s was the golden age of top-40 radio. There was never before nor since the same level of quality and diversity in what you could hear at any moment.

@glawnow1959 9 месяцев назад

My first and favorite song by Ambrosia. I'm really surprised and thrilled you're checking this one out. Now imagine hearing this on AM radio in the mid 70s. So great!

@cadanrichards2615 9 месяцев назад

A Great song, Ive been listening to this song for years ever since childhood, Ambrosia are a great band and Alan Parsons would produce this bands second album. Their debut album and Life Beyond L.A. are amazing albums.

@boydsprehn2140 9 месяцев назад

Life Beyond LA remains one of my favorite albums. Ambrosia was far more than the radio hits. Give "If Heaven Could Find Me" and "Apothecary" a listen.

@happymethehappyone8300 9 месяцев назад

Alan Parsons would also have 4 members of Ambrosia play on his debut album,, The Alan Parsons Project"Tales Of Mystery And Imagination"

@TheGreatGig73 9 месяцев назад

That is why I love your reactions to the 70's. I keep holding on to yesterday because I know they are never coming back.

@dshingle6 9 месяцев назад

I went into the military at the end of ‘75 and every song of that summer holds a place in my heart. I think that’s why I consider it an “S” tier piece. Hey, hey, hey It’s Magic, Dance With Me, Send In The Clowns, etc., all big hits of the summer of ‘75 with a flood of memories with each.

@user-wy5vp9xw4c 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia started out as a prog rock band but then morphed into a pop rock band. I much prefer their prog stuff, but they had much more commercial success with the pop stuff. David Pack has an amazing voice and the rest of the band are all great musicians. I am not that big a fan of their later big hits, but this was a great song from their debut album.

@carlfisher3924 9 месяцев назад

I agree.,.Nice, Nice, Very nice

@happymethehappyone8300 9 месяцев назад

Ambrosia has many classic hits,, But this particular song has been & will continue to be my favorite by them. ❤

@amk59369 9 месяцев назад

@Cheryltwin2012 9 месяцев назад

OMG this gem from 1975 is one I haven't heard in years! I loved this song the first time I heard it. The break (with the strings and guitar) sounds musically very much like "The Thrill Is Gone". Maybe that was a nod to an influence, who knows? David Pack, Ambrosia's lead singer, suffered from hearing loss and as a hearing impaired person myself, I really loved his vocals. Very strong and with lots of emotion. So glad you covered this one!

@colleenmelton6735 9 месяцев назад

I have always appreciated the way David Pack could join Dissonance and consonance. His vocal tonal transitions were immaculate. Anyone that can sing can attest to how hard it is to go from a major to a minor seemlessly and then to just step out of that minor into a pleasing higher registered tone. They have some good songs, but this has always been my favorite of theirs. As always fantastic review. Stay safe and peeeace ouuutttt
