  • Love Ambrosia!! :)

  • You wanna hear a great song? Just type in David Pack and Steve Perry!

  • Timeless.... That voice is perfection. David, you so much

  • Was listening to this song on Ipod in car the other day and heard the first half, then walked into a pet store and they were playing it too and the second half! I never hear it or any of their songs anymore when I'm out, etc. so it was special to hear it then. Very cool. GREAT song.

  • ...as you read, notice "us" Latinos know good music when we hear it. Im not bragging, just stating the fact.

  • Always liked this song from the get go! Thnx for the upload.

  • Met North, Puerta, and Drummond, and they are nice guys. Humble and still have it. Drummond's groove on this sounds like Keltner, and that is not easy. Puerta's lines are busy without sounding so. North can shine, and of Pack's voice is flawless. Drummond sounds like Brian Wilson on that "Somewhere" tune they do. Joe can belt as well.

  • Belo som, me faz recordar do meu passado, waleu.

  • Rarroyot32 pues seran los mismos pero que canciones no se comparan a hora

  • Beautiful

  • Can't get enough

  • 1.7mil views and 40 dislikes....hmmm....you don't need the Rainman to do this math ....timeless

  • Comment removed

  • Los coros de esta canciòn son extrañamente parecidos al tema PURE SMOKEY de George Harrison....

  • David Pack,..the best male falsetto EVER!! Better than micheal mcdonald, period!

  • This song has been in my head all day. Beautiful!

  • starblaster77 ami me pasa lo mismo todo el tiempo .conozco la cancion hace años y me encanta

  • One of the masters of "Soft-Rock". One question: What happened to this band? It's like they disappeared before The 80's started. Like Dr. Hook, this band would have fit in nicely in The 80's; I truly believe that.

  • @kja427 Ambrosia are not only Soft Rock masters, but they are also one of America's best Progressive Rock bands.Their first 2 albums are Prog Rock masterpieces engineered and produced by Alan Parsons. Ambrosia just played with Kansas last Friday in Florida. Check out their Prog Rock songs here on You Tube.

  • @phepple haha! heck yeah bro! I saw them @ Artpark/ niagara fall's year's ago..amazing show!

  • @kja427 gracias por subir esta maravilla

  • always have loved this song.... timeless music here

  • these guys are tight!! great singers! i'm only 31 and think music today is just garbage. they don't make good music anymore.

  • Incredible.... what a singer. This guy could pull it off in a live scenario. And great song structure, major 7th's.... jazz really with a blue eyed soul pop feel.... incredible. Thanks for posting!

  • I've never seen such an awesome pairing of accompanying videos on the right. All these are stellar hits of the utmost quality. It's like the "Who's Who" of 70's--80's singer-songwriters.

  • David Pack's solo album from 2005 "The Secret Of Moving On" is wonderful! He does remake the Ambrosia songs and does a great duet with Ann Wilson of Heart with the title song. I had the pleasure of seeing him on "The Walk Down Abby Road" tour in 2001. He's a great singer/songwriter!

  • If i ever got married again,THIS would be playing...sigh...

  • Picture perfect, live. I was so crazy about these guys.

  • I just LOVE this tune....I'm such a sap!!

  • i'm late to appreciate these guys! wow!

  • Takes me back to being a kid! I miss u music

  • The late, great Cornelious Bumpus on sax. Terrific artist will very much be missed. This caliber of music is not heard anymore on the popular airwaves. Those days are sorely missed as well.

  • This is from a time when people spent there youth perfecting an instrument so, if they're lucky, they can earn a living play professionaly.I know that's what I did. Now it seems as though it's not cool be be good. I knew this time would come, I just hoped it would be after I was gone. Live forever Gino Vannelli, Steely Dan, Doobie Bros, Ambrosia and all the other truly great bands!

  • @golnees Funny you should mention all of those acts in the same breath. Most of them were on WJJZ(Philly--R.I.P)'s playlist from one time to another. They also played David Pack's solo remakes of Ambrosia tunes. Unfortunately, smooth jazz went downhill before it was even named, for my taste anyway.

  • @golnees amen!

  • this was performed at a time before Autotune and lipsyncing.....at a time before artists allowed Satan to dress them...lol....before they let Ghost writers write their lyrics....too bad many of you will never know of this time...lol

  • I concur... you just don't hear music like this today. The melodies, sound... This style could sing this in the park and be just as good as the studio.

    We use to call this 'Talent.'

  • Yeah jajvick is so right, check out T3's songs at the link below ---they are a new band but have the same type of 70's-80's wonderful songwriting abilities..

  • Perfect!!!

  • Great song ,great band......Are there any DVD's out there of Ambrosia with David Pack out front ?

  • Ah, when there was actual talent. Perfect song. You rock Ambrosia and David Pack!

  • Nice..................!

  • Ah, when talent was appreciated...

  • 39 people can kiss the biggest part of me!! What an excellent tune!!

  • I want this life!!

  • REAL MUSIC....

  • Great song!

  • I wish and dream and hope ... :

  • 2:20 More than easy feeling......

  • all i can say is PERFECT. oh, and fuck autotune

  • Love this song

  • ahhhhh,the 80's:}

  • I agree with the sentiments of the above poster.

  • Oh... yes. Make a wish Baby... and I will make it come true... Love it.

  • This was real music. Sampling, hippy hop, and happy clappy church music just ain't the same as this.

    When did the music die? When I got old, or when I outgrew it's reach?

  • when music was music.

  • What would ordinarily be considered a pop gem is really transformed by the sax break into a memorable song.

  • Make a wish..... what a great song!!!!!!

  • this when color didnt matter if the song was the shit the song was the shit and this song was THE SHIT........ 1980 BABY

  • Can't help but like this ;)

  • Such a sweet tune (always loved it) and a perfect live performance. Thanks for sharing!

  • BEAUTIFUL.........

  • why is the band nowadays doesnt play like this?

  • @ULTRADREW1... Yes, let my love rain down you. What a GREAT song!!! Thanks for your post ;)

  • magical!

  • David pack, got to be one of the best voices to come down the pike. if you remember pres Clinton had him sing at his aunaugeration his solo albums are dinomite one was featured on the sound tract on the movie White nights.The voice of ambrosia the most unrecognized super group of all time( in my opinion)

  • Yes, during a time when groups sang live. They sound great.

  • Who the heck could dislike this? This group was hot...

  • Let's forget the past and share the wonderful future full of love, affection, affection,and fidelity forever!

  • I bet @JayBWood can sing this. If @VinceBon WOULD EVER LET HIM!!! **DAMN!!!!***

  • Ohhhhhh la-ti-DAHT DAH!!! BOY U BETTA SANG THIS MU'UFUGGIN THANG!!!!!!

  • Love this song. David Pack is wonderful. Thank you so much. I feel GREAT now. Let my love rain now on you!! 

  • @AnitaM2002 let my love rain down on you is correct

  • Ambrosia is playing tonight at my town Fall Fesitval with 3 of the original 4 members according to the ad. I can not match any of the guys pictures up with their 1980 selves. Too much of a hair difference. LOL! The Midnight Special-music video of its time. Watched it all the time. Taped the musical acts. Put the cassette tape recorder in front of the tv and manually pushed the record buttons. Went down memory lane there.

  • Tighter than a hummin' bird's ass! These guys are just one of several groups of the 70's that could write songs, sing and perform them on point without the aid of digital pitch benders. Great melody, stellar harmonies, smooth & tight groove. 70's RULE!!!

  • The real deal from true musicians!

    What a blast from the wonderful past...thank you!

  • Is Cornellius Bompus behind Davis Pack ?

  • @177coc Yes

  • Love the oldies, the best music, this is when people had real talent and could sing live.

  • music'....chuuune'....old hits are da bestest'....i can come to youtube an feel safe'...the crap in today's music lets me feel like i wanna commit suicide smh...

  • Musicians back then really knew how to make music.

  • i like the music 1955-1980 some how we are loosing are talent

  • Ah yes reaaal ANOLOG music. The Beatles would complete an album in 10 hours in the early days.

    These "Superstars" today need a year plus and 5 producers to put together a "body" of music that will end up being nothing more than a blip on my kid's Ipod.

    P Diddy made the ridiculous statement that he will be/is the most influential record producer of all time.............he obviously knows nothing of music history

  • Real Music !! Thanks for posting

  • That would be the Late, Great Cornellius Bumpus (of Steely Dan) on the sax in this video. He was an amazing horn player in his day. RIP CB!!!

  • @medpilot21 CB played for Doobie Bros

  • mr. bergis likes this song

  • I used to know the bass player. He used to go to my dad's restaurant all the time. Very nice guy and was always willing to talk and answer questions.

  • @Dietpepsivanilla He was the bassist for Bruce Hornsby and the Range, wasn't he?

  • Miss good music?? Look up SISARET :-)

  • This is music! My God what ever became of them. Today anyone can get a record, these folks worked their asses off unlike Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber etc. What has happened to the raw talent of these times? PLEASE, BRING IT BACK!

  • i met debbie Callison when this song came out....i was 17 she was 38..when we first met she said "is that a cucumber in your pants,,,"" i said no ...thats alllmeeeee..lol

  • 39 of the Biggest Idiots have watched this vid.

  • @ElCatra1 literally laughing my ass off. good one!

  • Damn this is so fine.

  • Is that Dave Mustaine playing the Fender Rhodes?!?

  • WUTEVER HAPPENED TO THIS GOOD KIND OF MUSIC?

  • @CainGoesHard,, The 90's happened.....Pisser huh....This was my generation...

  • Just heard David Pack sing this again live this past weekend. He's still got it!

  • That is one funky tight red leather pants there

  • buena cancion del recuerdo

    

  • THIS ONE IS FOR YOU MY LOVE....YOU'RE THE BIGGEST PART OF ME. I LOVE YOU D.A.S.!!!

  • Always remember '70's Rock because music is going to get much worse in the future.

  • who is the organ player in this video?

  • @sweetpea3339 That would be Christopher North

  • Music of today needs to revisit this type of melody and chord progression..It sticks in your brain unlike 95% of the junk on the charts today

  • Comment removed

  • If I was in this audience. I would be kicked out. I would be all over them.

  • RockinRuss, seriously? you aren't familiar w/ANY contemporary great songwriters? do you live under a rock? i liked ambrosia back in the day, too, but it's ridiculous to assert no good original songwriters are still out there.....

  • Now this is the good stuff....REAL music...and done the 'right' way. Love'n Ambrosia...Love'n DP.

  • just as beautiful live as it is on vinyl. thank you for posting.

  • love eet...it reminds me my manager......

  • how do they sing on key without Auto tune??

  • @mjw9363

    It\s called talent :))

  • Great and beautiful song, very romantic song.

  • One of the best singers in the business, the great David Pack. Saw this group in person and have to say it was among the best concerts I have ever seen.

  • Ah....when music was music and when the words could be said in mixed company without embarrassment. So sad for this generation that can never know what this era was and how music shaped the fabric of we who enjoyed it! I'd forgotten this group, but not this song. What a wonderful post. For all who know and love the 70s and this music, remember how sweet it was to hit the dial on the car radio and hear these melodies and harmonies? For the good old days!

  • @gizmozdaddy amen to that. I had the "pleasure" of attending a concert w/my tween daughters a few months back, for a certain Disney star, and wasn't at all shocked to find her (barely) singing to a backing track. Real music to me is something created live out of nothing, not created with technology in a studio.

  • @Rockin... Amen. I couldnt agree more. Its about Booty and NO talent these days.

  • The best kind of music!! Thanks for sharing! :)

  • amazes me how this era of music was just so smooth.

  • CLASSIC !

  • Is that cormelius bumpus on sax?

  • 1980? I wasn't born yet but I love their songs!

  • Just saw David Pack, Orleans, Robbie dupree, and others in concert was a very good concert.  and david pack still sounds the same

  • This song brings back all the great memories, Love it

  • another favorite song. memories

  • !!LO MAXIMO AMBROSIA!!

  • perdon, 38 estupidos!!

  • Como pueden haber 18 huevones que no les guste este tema!! Si no les gusta, abtengase de opinar, hijos de puta!!!!

  • Thank you Ambrosia..

  • Be sure to check out the other Great Ambrosia videos here on YouTube. Nice Nice Very Nice, Time Waits For No One, Somewhere I've Never Travelled, Life Beyond LA, The Brunt, Mama Frog, and Drink Of Water.

  • @phepple I will, thanks!

  • oh man. I was a teenager in the 70's and we thought this was a R&B group. Awesome time and the best music, pop, r&B whatever. Good lyrics, good sound. loved it and miss it.

  • omg this brings back memories!! .. back in the day in dads caravan .. beautiful song

  • So much soul!!!

  • i am in love

  • Such a natural singer....smooth..smooth..smoo­th

  • Sweet Sweet Sweet

  • DITTO

  • I can tell how old i was then & what I was doing by listening to "vintage R&R" ....what date I heard it back when

  • LUCKY to be born in the 60's to be able to enjoy great music in the 70's and into the 80's! Great songs and lyrics on vinyl. Oh, I loved buying vinyl......still do! From the 90's on, you can keep it!

  • I love YT but damn it sure can make me long for the past...

  • anyone can feel the summer winds?

    ahhh, it always reminds me of summer!

    I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG.

  • Saw them on Jimmy Kimmel recently....sounded great!!

  • Wow! That was smooth as silk.

  • Yeah, the music industry is a complete joke these days and some stupid people get so brainwashed into liking the crap out now. It's sad to do that to something so precious and wonderful as music. Don't buy the crap and DEMAND better music. Let's turn the nonsense around.

  • Wow ! Remember ? Great Song Writing ! Remember when thats what Producer's looked for ? Originality "IS" your ticket ! Not being a copy of everybody else. Now ? It's like being at the right place at the right time. You only need a beat & someone that SCREAMS & can't "Sing" a lick. SAD ! I don't know if the talent has gotten that bad or/ the Record Producer's have gotten that STUPID ! Yea !

    I Said It ! Sue Me !

    Peace............!~

  • @RockinRussClinicVids just Great!!! so many memories.

  • @RockinRussClinicVids it was a different time man..get over it!

  • @TheCozybear65

    Get over what friend ? Music is "Timeless". Thats whats so great about it. Accent's & Real talent made you in that arena. Not producer's looking to sign a "Quick Buck" as they openly say so today. It was "Tough" to get signed back then. These are musicians that have stood the test of time.

    Peace & Out !

  • @RockinRussClinicVids I hear ya.

  • @RockinRussClinicVids its the producers and more importantly audiences. producers today are out to make money and nothing else. audiences have been trained to accept garbage as entertainment, which is coincidentally very cheap to produce. why would they cut into their profit to find actual talent and originality when they know that they can make more money producing junk? just look at television now: 90% of it is reality tv because it's cheap to produce and people watch it even though it's crap.

  • @RockinRussClinicVids It is probably more of the latter(STUPID PRODUCERS) than the former(BAD TALENT)!

  • 37 people have tiny parts.

  • Such a talented singer David Pack is. Also, guitarist, songwriter, producer, music director, etc......

  • @ndependentwoman: take me with you.....if you ever find that time machine come back and show me the way.

  • This is one of the greatest 70's bands...so relaxing and sexy! The harmonies are tight and the instrumentation progressive. I love his voice and they're all easy on the eyes too. A+!

  • these songs were poems and poetry, music has gone to hell with lady kaka and friends

  • Cornelius Bumpus! Grande, Cornelius! Estás tocando con dios, amigo mío!!!!

  • Qué tema, por la CSM!!!! Qué tema, dios mío!!!! Amo este tema por sobre todas las cosas!!!!

  • love this song

  • Why we cant we have a new midnight special where these older groups play and expose the kids of today what creative, well written and played songs are like. IS there really that lack of demand out there.

  • @anakina1 you tell 'em friend...totally agree with you. i love this song!!! peace my friend.

  • Listening to this song and I am back in the 80's in an instant.

  • So perfect....and this is 'live'. Even better then the record. Awesome band.

  • Peerless & Timeless! A true classic! Takes me way back! Now this ''is'' music! . . .

  • 1987+ the style without substance error... my son is 9 and I refuse to let him listen to the radio. I got him on high doses of RUSH, Orleans, Ambrosia, America and Motown and Seals & Croft...I gotta stand on the porch and beat that new stuff off with a stick. PLEASE WISH ME LUCK

  • @TOMIT2112 Take Two Rush's in the morning, 2 Poco's at lunch, and 4 Steely Dan's at night, and call me in the morning. Ok. Forget the call me, but your kid should be good to go in ten years, or whenever he turns 18. Whichever comes first. ....................Good luck!

  • late 70's..the best stuff... i grad in '81 too...

  • This song is fantastic. And they sound tremdous live. All of them. What a great and under appreciated band.

  • Qué tema, Dios mio!! Qué tema!! I cry each time i hear this song! Te amo, Biggest Part Of Me!!!!

  • One of the best groups of the 80's performing one of the best songs.

  • when i was a kid i couldnt enter the garage where all my older cousins go to hang out but i do remember this song blaring loud into the backyard :-) such a sweet stroll down memory lane!

  • Today's music (if you wanna call it that) can never match up to these great songs of the 70's. i may be an old fart, but I'm happy that I was a teen in the 70's.

  • It's the music industry folks that dictate what is "IN' today, therefore much of the crap music with just 'beat' in mind (poorly as that is) is what they look for and that's why bands will just focus on only that to be 'popular' and to get a record contract. That's all they care about. Also, much today are single artists not even bands. Nobody seems to care about what people 'really' want to hear. Melody, harmonies, great sounding voices, good songs....that's the stuff!

  • This song still kills after all these years. On a side note, that's the late, great Corneilius Bumpus on sax. That dude has played on everybody's records. Thanks for posting.
