    I feel really bad for anyone who doesn’t know who this man is. Truly one of the greatest singer song writers of all time.

    I gave my daughter the middle name Ambrosia, after your band, and, she was born on the Fourth of July 1982! Thank you for the greatest songs!❤️.

      So did I! I named mine
      Angelsea Ambrosia, after my favorite Cat Stevens song, and also after one of my favorite Bands.
      - Interesting coincidence, 'eh?!

      So did I. I named my son Ethan Ambrose...
      He knows this to be so and today is his 32nd birthday.
      Named after my love of David Pack when he was fronting Ambrosia❤

    David Pack is the best of everything in the world. 'How Much I Feel' looks into the heart of anyone who has lost the most meaningful partner and love of their life. It's unbelievable how a gorgeous song can take one back almost 50 years and still feel the pain. His songs are so .spot-on, that it is as if he was sitting ascross from me and reading my mind. Love him so.

    Man this guy, David Pack, was so hot! To see him perform, in his prime, is to witness true masculine beauty. His voice, his face, his body and his style are the epitome of a rock star. He exemplifies the handsome, well built, talented man. He will turn you on! Wow! Such a great and handsome interviewer person, too! Today a tragedy in Nashville, and it needs to be mentioned here. My heart and soul go out to the Nashville community. People are really suffering from a mass shooting at a school there! I have a relative that is in high school there, and another close relative that is at a University there in post-graduate medical school, so it hit our family very hard. Although I do not live there, now, we are united in heart and soul with the children and the people of Nashville! Sending our love to cover Nashville. Thanks for this interview and the opportunity to express our love with this beautiful song and the people behind it.💜🎸❤‍🩹🙏🔮🔔🎼🎶🚸🩺🫀🏫

    Even though it seems that Ambrosia has moved on without David (WTH, BTW?), David's voice is the signature sound of that band, no doubt about it. It's the voice that we associate with the band, then and always. Love your music and voice, David, as does my entire family.

  • @MelodyChase

    Just saw this April 24, 2020. I've always loved Ambrosia's music! Then one day, my best friend who was also a former boyfriend of 7 years, died from a brain tumor. I was devistated, although we knew he had been battling it for years. I sat frozen in my car and just wept. Then I looked up and said, "Dougie, I love you so much. Please send me a message through song... I need to know you're hearing me." I turned on the radio and there it was. Suddenly, my tears of sadness became those of absolute Peace and Joy. To this day, it plays whenever I'm really thinking about him. The veil truly is thin. 😇💓🎶

    He mentioned Ray Manzareck, and in another interview he mentioned his admiration for Ricky Nelson. The summer of 1967 I was vacationing at a beach where Ricky Nelson was filming a show he wrote, produced and directed involving musical groups and artists. I met Ricky Nelson and was allowed to sit behind him while he directed each segment. I was also allowed to meet, talk to and get autographs from each artist. The Doors were one of those performing. When I approached Jim Morrison, he pushed me aside and knocked me into the sand. Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek helped me up, made sure I was okay, and signed autographs. Outside of welcoming my children and grandchildren into the world, that was the most magical, unforgettable time of my life. Thank you David Pack for the beautiful music you have brought into my life.

    The anecdote at 8.40 about Mike McDonald taking 4 months to come up with a change in one line of lyrics is not a joke. Mike himself has joked in the 90s that it took him 5 years+ to write an album... for himself (cough Blue Obsession). It turned out to be a good album with a great dose of gospel / funk on the opening track All I Need co-written with Tommy Sims.
    A fantastic swing / country track 'Pour Me Another (Take It From The Top)' didn't make the final public release which is a shame - it was nice to hear Mike take on a more country tone (as he settled down in Nashville with his family - Leapers Fork). If you search hard it is available on a pre-release advance marketing print of Blue Obsession.
