Ambrosia is a celebrated American rock band that emerged from Los Angeles in 1970, known for their unique blend of symphonic art rock and melodic pop. The group, originally formed as a quartet, quickly gained recognition with their self-titled debut album in 1975, which featured the hit single “Holdin’ On to Yesterday.” Their innovative sound, characterized by lush orchestration and intricate vocal harmonies, earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Recording, setting the stage for their future successes.

The band’s rise to fame continued with the release of their second album, “Somewhere I’ve Never Travelled,” in 1976, produced by the renowned Alan Parsons. This album solidified their status in the music industry, yielding FM favorites like the title track and “Can’t Let a Woman.” Ambrosia’s ability to adapt and evolve was evident in their 1978 album, “Life Beyond L.A.,” which marked a shift towards a more raw, jazz-influenced sound, culminating in their first Gold single, “How Much I Feel.”

In 1980, Ambrosia reached new heights with their album “One Eighty,” which produced two major hits, “Biggest Part of Me” and “You’re the Only Woman (You & I).” This album earned them three Grammy nominations and showcased their versatility as artists. Following a brief hiatus, the band reunited in 1989, continuing to tour and perform, demonstrating their enduring appeal and commitment to their craft.

Throughout their career, Ambrosia has collaborated with notable artists and contributed to various soundtracks, further establishing their legacy in the music world. With a lineup that has evolved over the years, the band remains active, delighting audiences with both classic hits and new material, proving their lasting impact on the rock genre.
