-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Фільми й анімація
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.
Being born in 65 in Los Angeles and a Radiohead this was also a staple brother, oh yeah 😁
I believe they may have done "How Much I Feel". Maybe on Patreon. Others will chime in if I am wrong.
gotta add "You're the only Woman" to your reactions list. Has that sick keyboard solo in it. All great songs!
Pop hits for them though they had more soulful tunes like Drink of Water.
There's that overused word again. Have you got anything new in your vocab?
This is Ambrosia's best song in my opinion. They had many good ones.
absolutely agree with you on this -
i like their other songs - but this one is their Grand-Slam !!!
agreed
This is a masterpiece! 🙂
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.
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 💨
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.
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.
makes sense they started with Ambrosia’s first hit to me
This song way outclasses those two.
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.
This is from the first album.
They and ELO were heavily influenced by the Moody Blues
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 65 yr old fan is right there withcha!
How bout Karen Carpenter guys?? Saw her in 74!
I got my first FM radio when I was 12yrs old...👋😏👍
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.
I saw them open for Doobie Bros in 1978 and I LOVED them. They blew the Doobies out of the water, IMO.
Wow, I haven't heard this song in 35 years!! Good pick! 👍
This is the one Ambrosia song that consistently makes it onto my playlists. Perfection.
When an instrument cries ....its so awesome.
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.
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.
Hey I was a junior too, man. I couldn't stop listening to it then and I still can't. What a magnificent song.
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.
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.
I’ve requested this song, but apparently didn’t sell it well. 😂
You're not lying
Agreed 100%!
I remember listening to this song on the radio, but it really hits differently on headphones.
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.
One of the best songs that i had entirely forgot existed.
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.
Add “Drink of Water” to that as well, really not a bad track on the debut album IMO!
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."
Dance With Me George is one the best prog songs of all time.
A lot of people also don't realize that,Nice, nice is based on a lyric from the Kurt Vonnegut book Cats Cradle
Life Beyond LA🙌🎶
That mix, that panning, reverb, and layering of the guitar, those backups, that violin, that mix. Fantastic tune!
Oh heck yeah! Ambrosia is such a great band. Deep dive well worth it.
We gotta have MORE Ambrosia, it's a must 😍🔥
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!
Exactly
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!
100% Agreed & Roughly commented the same thing.
I always thought Ambrosia was a Yacht Rock band, as only hearing their popular hits on the radio. I thought this song was beautiful.
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. :-)
Please try Drink of Water off the same album, if you haven't already. One of my absolute favorite songs.
YES! This entire album is great.
Now guys - full version of Little River Band - "It's a Long Way There"
So I am 68 years old , and this is easily in my Top Ten songs of ALL TIME !! David Pack is AMAZING !
Ambrosia is one of my favorite bands. Some great songs. Great songwriting and musicianship.
This song hits differently than it used too. Now I am older and have lost many loved ones.
I had 20+ aunts and uncles, now 2 are left. The large family gatherings are gone as those that are left are scattered across the country
@@ecclesrice9789 Yeah, perhaps that's why we don't live forever, if we did everyone we loved or knew would be dead leaving us alone.
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".
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!
Man that chorus hook always hits me right in the gut.
You two guys are making me feel guilty because I’m thinking we took this great music for granted. Thanks for playing this. ♥️🎶
How much I feel is amazing.
This is a true timeless classic and yes it's S plus tier song. Full Pull
Ambrosia was prog rock before they became mainstream. Try some more tracks off that album, stellar stuff.
Nice, Nice, Very Nice is has more of a prog sound. One of my favorites.
And...Somewhere I Never Traveled
ua-cam.com/video/nDodZTmsY7Y/v-deo.htmlsi=I1NEH-keZmbc6FZx
You want prog, try Mama Frog from the same album.
Love how you give it an A+ and then talk it up as an S after that 😂
So many memories associated with the song. Thanks guys for making my day DREAMY!!!
Masterpiece .
Thanks for this one .
It’s something of a masterpiece 😮
This is a good song, however, "You're The Only Woman", "How Much I Feel" or " Biggest Part Of Me" are infinitely better choices as introduction songs to Ambrosia.
Some of their other good songs are:
"Life Beyond L.A.", "Cryin' In The Rain", and "Time Waits For No One".
Depends on what you like. Ambrosia is like Chicago or the Doobies, they transcended genres over time. Personally I like the prog stuff better.
I am not sure if those songs are better or just more commercially accessible. I love those songs, but this song is more emotive to me. It was a bluesy composition, but that is the beauty of music. It is very subjective and you believe those songs are superior, therefore, who am I to tell you you are wrong. *You're not wrong....
Exactly, this is a good song but there are better intro to Ambrosia songs.
@@jamesstarks3676
Granted the ones I mentioned are more commercially known, I just prefer them more. But this one wasn't a bad choice.
Correct
It's amazing the power of song to carry one to being 15 years old for a few minutes.
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.
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.
When Ambrosia was ready for their first big tour, David Pack's mother insisted he not go until he graduated high school with his class. So young to be so good.
Great reaction guys! Thanks!!
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.
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!
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.
Yeahhhh…I can remember this as a kid playing on FM radio while i was shooting pool in my parents dark basement. No internet, the world seemed like a bigger place and great music that took you somewhere. Headphone Gold!
Watched this twice just to hear the song again❤
Same.
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.
Haven't heard this ages. Great track!
Such an amazing mood to the song. Rips your guts out. One of my faves. Great reaction. 🎉
I forgot how good this is. Great pick
You're playing songs from my playlist. 😊
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.
It was a really great era when songs like this were on the FM radio regularly.... Kind of forgot about it for a couple decades but the internet made it possible to hear these great songs again.
The violin and harmonization towards the end really puts this song on another level.
Gorgeous song!!! My favorite. The singer’s voice is dreamy.
Ambrosia has many classic hits,, But this particular song has been & will continue to be my favorite by them. ❤
This is one of my all time favorite tunes. The musicianship is on another level. Vocals are pretty damn good, too. Great choice gentlemen
I so enjoy ambrosias music. thanks for reviewin' them
I had completely forgotten about this song. Thanks for the great memory!
I forgot how much I like this gem.
My favorite song of theirs.
Same
You can't go wrong with Ambrosia. Their music is so soothing.
Ambrosia has some of my Fav songs in my Life!❤
I remember when it first came out. Didn't know who Alan Parsons was and never heard of Ambrosia.. Always loved it, esp for the great sonic quality for the mid 70s. Unforgettable.
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!
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.
I agree.,.Nice, Nice, Very nice
S tier, just conceptually, musically, and vocally
This song will hit you harder once you’ve aged.
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.
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.
Alan Parsons would also have 4 members of Ambrosia play on his debut album,, The Alan Parsons Project"Tales Of Mystery And Imagination"
Underrated album
What a great song- haven't heard it in so long. Sadly, Ambrosia has been forgotten even though they were amazing. This song is almost 50 years old... 🌹
It’s about time you guys got to Ambrosia. Their first two albums are amazing. Somewhere I’ve never traveled. Cowboy star. They take you somewhere else! Keep listening.
So many great songs! Biggest Part of Me is my all time favorite!
I’d totally forgotten about this song but omg, what a treat!
Welcome to The Andy&Alex channel. If your looking for AEROSMITH reactions your out of luck.
1. I’ve never heard this song by Ambrosia, even on classic rock radio.
2. I’ve never seen any other reactors “react” to it.
3. It was pretty good.
Speaking of the legendary music icon & a MUST HEAR classic,, Neil Young "Only Love Can Break Your Heart"
Alan Parsons is not only involved,, But he also had all four memebers of Ambrosia play on his debut album,, The Alan Parsons Project "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination" (1976)
Makin love music ❤❤❤❤❤
Man, this album is so stellar!! You really need to do Time Waits For No One off of this album. Prog rock at its finest.
Ambrosia = baby-makin' music. So good!
Andy & Alex's analogies are so colorful and specific.
From the first album - just excellent! Check out the album ' Life beyond L.A." also just fantastic!
Thanks dudes for playing this!
I haven’t listened to this in years. I sincerely forgot how great it is. Thanks guys
I loved this song at the time of its release in 1975 and now I look back to my teen years when I hear this song on classic rock stations....with some sad nostalgia.
This whole album is good.
Holdin' on to yesterday live is a must to hear.
Wow, not heard this song since my college days! Forgot how much I liked it!
This bands second album, Somewhere I've Never Traveled, which I still have one of the first copies of, had an album cover that folded up into a pyramid. SO Cool! ❤ Also, one of their best work.
One of those songs I secretly love.
This song has always reminded me of Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane. Has that West Coast feel.
I saw Ambrosia in 1978 when they opened for Foreigner. Great concert when both bands were just starting to make waves.
I had forgotten about this masterpiece. Thank you. Back in my playlist.
Perfect song, absolutely
OMG! My older sister had this 45 record and I listened to it all the time as a kid in the 70s.
Love Ambrosia, their vocals & harmony SWEET MOTHER!! I was singing along while watching, got SO LOST in the sauce. It took me back to Glee Club in school, our music teacher was the best, she taught us all about harmony so I appreciate it in all songs. More by the band, "How Much I Feel", You're the Only Woman", "Biggest Part of Me" omg all of these are great songs you guys should hit. Thank you for taking me back to 1976, a great time for sure!
I love the first two Ambrosia albums, ' Somewhere I've Never Traveled" is one of the greatest prog rock albums ever to me. They did get more commercial the next few albums but I still like all of them.
I turned 16 late in '75. The music was So good 🙏
Never forget A&A....
GRANDPA ROCKS!!!
Ambrosia was an excellent group.
"You're the Only Woman" (album version) is my favorite.
My favorite song, thank you guys, you have totally redeemed yourselves.
Redeemed? From what? lol
