Any Ambrosia fans out there?
Yes, the band, not the food. Don't laugh at me, they really have some great songs. No, not "How Much I Feel", but "Nice, Nice, Very Nice", "Life Beyond L.A." and "Angola".

Just curious.

3. It's been close to thirty years...
... yeah, but "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" comes back to memory easily. Haven't listened to the album in a long, long time.

5. The first album in particular
The one that Alan Parsons worked on, and which had their debut single "Holding On To Yesterday" (the full album version, please ... not the lobotomized radio version).

That's when they were considered a "progressive" or almost "underground" band -- I remember the much-loved WSHE in Fort Lauderdale playing them ... 30 years ago!! :( :(

Then they became popular and, some might even say, sold out.

7. Not a fan but............
A co-worker won a Grammy for engineering one of their albums.

That's all I know about them.

8. The second album
The second album was great, with its wholesale rip-offs of Aaron Copeland and such.


Whatever happened to that group anyway?

Very well crafted pop song.
