Ambrosia

The Profile

Ambrosia are an American rock band formed in Southern California in 1970 by Joe Puerta, David Pack, Christopher North, and Burleigh Drummond. After two progressive-leaning albums in the mid‑1970s, the group moved toward soft rock, scoring major hits including “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me.”

Their self-titled 1975 debut was engineered by Alan Parsons, and band members contributed to The Alan Parsons Project’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976).

A historically minded review positions Ambrosia within the sparse field of 70s American prog, noting their origins after King Crimson’s U.S. tour. The 1975 debut is framed as genuinely progressive with pop touches, lacking a full suite but maintaining personality. The band’s later shift toward soft rock is acknowledged. Alan Parsons engineered the debut, and Ambrosia contributed to his Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
