- In Tribute To A Beloved Friend & Legendary Artist James Ingram. This original 1985 recording by Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and David, was re-mixed & re-mastered to create this first time ever new video.
A Brief History About This Song:
It was written by David for his 1985 solo debut album "Anywhere You Go" on Warner Bros. records expressly to feature Michael & James.
The original version of the song went top-10 on Billboard charts.
In the mid-90's this version was re-arranged and produced by Oliver Leiber, Shaun LaBelle and David for the Ambrosia Anthology LP as a bonus track.
The original vocals were kept, but David & Michael added new vocal improvs, and the great Everette Harp added a sax solo.
Decades later, David discovered that fans had created hundreds of videos online of this song that inspired him to finally create his own video and dedicate it to James.
The original '85 demo vocals by James, Michael, and David were restored, digitized, and used acapella to open this video, then layered on top of the existing track to create a special "Trinity Remix" for this video.

The three power houses Michael McDonald David Pack and James Ingram ❤
David Pack has one of the best voices of any male singer I've heard in my over 60 years
If you are reading this David I would like to say on behalf of all fans of music 🎶 that you are a treasure and your music will go on forever ❤️.God speed James
David you have true fans from Ambrosia days. Still listening in 2023.
Still heartbroken with James demise. David pack's voice hasn't change a bit. This song, so great. I could not ask for more James, David and Michael together singing.
It gives me chills everytime i hear the blending of three majestic voices. This masterpiece is worthy to be preserved and be served until the year 4000 and onwards.
Yes, I’m good with that!
Nicely stated! Especially thinking back to the memories of hearing them in the 70s and 80s
❤❤❤almost feel same ,and i really missed James Ingram so much🎼🎺🎻🤗😇
Nailed it!!!
That is the closest to sounding like a full-blown Gospel choir that a male trio can ever muster.
What a tribute to their friendship. Awesome vocals. Would you agree?
100% agree!
Indeed...one of the hardest songs to emulate
I totally agree! Such a beautiful tribute to his friend who eft this world way too soon!❤
Amazing trio great voices.
What an emocional Music and tribute!
Ambrosia front man David Pack .. what a voice.. along with Michael McDonald pay tribute to James Ingram 🙏🏻
You guys music is so cool. What we need for healing this country.
James, Michael and David... Three great artists
Three of the most beautiful voices ever. And during this difficult time, the tribute shows a tremendous respect for a fellow musician that has no color barrier. Just a love for a man, his character, and his music. I only hope this could be a bench mark for things to come. RIP Brother of soul!
Amen. Hope so too. We need to stop hating each other and bring love back to the world as Jesus asks us to do. 🙏🙇♀️
David Pack, your voice is one of a kind. Just as Michael McDonald and James Ingraham. I grew up listening to you guys and how fortunate for us to experience true craftsmanship of this caliber. Each time I hear you sing, it hits me to my very soul. Thank you for all of the wonderful songs you have wrote over the years. May your friend James Ingraham rest in peace with the angels. Look forward to hearing your voice again with a new album. Blessings and Peace to you. 🎤🎶🎸
That was beautiful and so are YOU!
@@robynhawkins48 Are you talking about my comment? I'm a little confused!
Absolutely!
Beautiful, David! If there were a million people singing, I would recognize your magnificent voice among them. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of music with us!
SPECTACULAR VIDEO
... Yes!
absolutely!
Great voices, love 'em. R.I.P. James Ingram. I also love his songs. Thank David for sharing such a beautiful tribute.
I've always known Ambrosia but never realized the amazing singing talent of David Pack till now. He is Amazing. What a golden voice.
If you haven't already, check out his duet with Ann Wilson (of Heart). "The Secret Of Moving On" is what re-hooked me on David's music.
Me too! Well said.
I love this song in 70's slow rock jazz. I like James Ingram , David Pack and missed their voices together ❤. Thanks to David Pack for this beautiful song. I cant let you go ❤
I've always been a fan of both James Ingram and David Pack when he was with Ambrosia, and a huge fan of Michael McDonald as well. The way this song was written and executed is phenomenal. I still tear up when I hear these three voices in harmony. R.I.P. James Ingram, and Thank You.
This is a little eerie...I have just been listening to Ambrosia, over and over, today! I had no idea that David Pack! Thank you. I just heard that one of the members of the Association was connected somehow with Ambrosia. We are losing so many of our greatest......reasons to get to heaven!!
I have been a fan since the 70’s of David. Beautiful man and soul.
David, if you alone are incredible voice, just imagine plus James and MIchael, others 2 GREAT voices. YOU all a genious, and GOD gives you Angel Voices. Thanks for exist this three angelical voices.!!
. . . thanks, brother Pack; you're truly a "Salt of the earth" person . . . shalom brother.
who in the world would put a thumbs down on this great song that is so timeless
Wow !! What else can one say ? 3 voices blending into a singular masterpiece.
I was a lead singer in bands back in the 70's and 80's. Almost everything we performed was with three part harmonies and it was a joy to feel that feeling when everyone was right in their parts. We never came close to sounding like you guys of course but the music that you David with Ambrosia and of course Michael McDonald with his solo career and with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers inspired us to no end. I wasn't that familiar with James Ingram but I love this song and understan the kinship that you had with him was deep. Thank you for the music David Pack, You are an Icon with a one of a kind voice.
James Ingram is one of my all time favorite singers. He had such a great voice. The three of these guys singing together was a great collaboration. 3 of the best vocalists in the history of American mainstream music. Love it. Never gets old.❤️
James' voice was totally unique, soulful, smooth and instantly recognizable. Lovely tribute!
I listen to ""I Just Can't Let Go" every week. The heartfelt lyrics and orchestration are so soulful and powerful. But it's the awesome harmonies by David Pack, Michael McDonald and James Ingram (who died too soon in Jan. 2019) that make this great song extra special! Thank you, David, for this beautiful tribute.
Beautifully spoken. BTW, you are too. Imma sista with gr8 taste in excellence.
One of my favorite songs. David is great. Add in Michael McDonald and James Ingram and you get utter perfection! What a fantastic blending of three wonderful artists.
Beautiful song, thank you David and I'm sorry for your loss.
Excellent song and performance. Thank you David for this and the many beautiful songs over the years.
This wonderful tribute takes me back to 1986 when I sent a letter (yep, handwriting, stamp, etc.) to David. How surprised I was several weeks later to receive a lovely typewritten reply. We communicated about our mutual affinity for James Ingram, Mike McDonald, et al. David, you remain a decent, loving gentleman and a dynamic artist. Our world needs more like you.
You are blessed to have a great taste in excellence
All four of y'all are quite handsome.
What beautiful tribute David.
James Ingram was so talented. So sorry to loose such a outstanding singer. RIP James 😢😔💜
David you have a voice from our Almighty Jesus! You will be blessed from God forever and may God Bless your life in a special way! I am sorry about your wife’s passing, but truly you will see her in heaven along with James and friends!
I will always pray for peace, love, joy and comfort for Year 2024! I hope to see you at a concert or somewhere in the future! God Bless You and your band! Rhonda
Dear David. This video and song brought tears to my eyes. James Ingram was one of a kind. He will be missed by many. Please continue sharing your videos/music to the world. Sincerely, God Bless
Hello David, I wanted to take this opportunity to speak on your wonderful, heartfelt video. It brought tears to my eyes and a hugh smile to my face. Absolutely beautiful! At the age of 18, I feel in love with you after first hearing the words to "That's How Much I Feel ". (Who didn't)? Something in your voice seemed to pull my heart from my chest, and I was lost to you and Ambrosia! Over the years I have had to replace my Anthology cd several times due to wear and tear. Now to see you have emerged again is pure delight! As a fan, I am so very happy that I am able to say my love for your lyrics, music, and voice lives on! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Yes, the world needs more like you.
P.S. The story, song, symphony of "Cowboy Star" is genius!!!!!
What a wonderful post..♥️..Biggest part of Me is one of my favorite songs..EVER..I get lost in it in the best possible way..lol..I'm glad you finally got to share your sentiments with someone..🙂♥️

What an amazing song and beautiful tribute to James Ingram. Their voices in harmony is just magnificent.
This song is amazing and the harmony is astounding
God bless you David Pack🙏! Thanks for this video👍..I totally forgot about this song of my youth😌..But hearing it now, as a grown adult and someone who likes to write songs, My appreciation for your music and artistry is even GREATER. I used to “secretly” cry whenever I heard you’re the biggest part of me, something about the sound & melody touched my heart, my soul, as a youngster😥😌..I was 18 when this song, here , came out & remember it well now & is now my new REVIVED FAVS👏👏👏. Mr. Ingram seemed to be a wonderful man, with a great soul🙏..He seemed like a deep guy, who sang with conviction. God bless you and your heart and may He comfort you in your time sadness🙏😔🙏😔🙏..Thanks for sharing this👏🙌👏🙌👍🙋♀️..
Yah Mo Be There 😊
I cried. There, I said it. I did not know Ambrosia had such three wonderful singers in a trio: David Pack, Michael McDonald, and may he rest in Peace, James Ingram.
This gave me the chills, simply beautiful tribute. R.I.P. James Ingram🙏🏼💕
One of my top 10 best singer songwriters! Keep on with the great music Dave! Michael and James! Wow!
David Pack, Michael McDonald and James Ingram. Can't get any better. David and Michael are my favorite singers.
I do loved James Ingram, I didn’t even know he’d passed. One of the greatest❤️
He was amazing!! This song is just amazing!! Three amazing artists!
I listen to this song everyday! Being a musician of 59 years I marvel at the vocal blend, the layering of the harmonies, and how these three singers can rip your heart to pieces with their masterful work! All three are tremendous on their own, but this collaboration was one of the best I’ve ever had move me! The chord changes within the vocals are just the best! God Bless all of these singers and may James Ingram Rest In Peace! David Pack, beautiful work, I would love to meet you some day and pick your brain. My wife loves me singing with you on this! Thank you for such a beautiful song!
I listen to this amazing song, along with Biggest Part of Me every day, as well! There is something about David Pack’s artistry that pulls you in for life. His body of work is timeless.
Missing James so much but I've been listening to you all since I was a little girl on the little island of Jamaica. I'd pretend I was there singing with you guys. Love Michael also you guys are great. Ambrosia meant so much to me as a child growing up. I cried because I'm in Ocala and I didn't know you guys performed a few months ago here. Stuck here because of the virus. Hopefully, I'll be home back in Jamaica. I vacationed here for a few years now and I can't believe I miss Ambrosia in Ocala. I use to say "Angelic Voices". So 2015 I was in a semicoma literally died and believe it or not without my memory I remember hearing this song. I have to meet you one day David.
I just absolutely love your voice David. I can't get enough of it. This song is beautiful.
David you are a beautiful man inside and out. I fell in love with your music in 1975 and your lyrics in the love ballad’s resonated home to me. First love was so intense, scary and wonderful. Thanks for the years of great music and it’s nice to see you are still out there performing.I love watching your video’s and remembering how I felt way back in the 70’s & 80’s.Thanks for sharing your gift with the world.
This song is so pure and beautiful. It reaches down into my soul and makes me tear up when I don't want to. Jayzus it's so so good. Every little piece of it is sooo good.
HUGE respect to you Mr David Pack ...
So thankful TH-cam reconnected me to your songs and amazing voice! Love seeing that you still carry that perfect voice 40 years later! Still handsome! ; )
One of the best song ever (Greetings from buenos aires argentina)
Apparently you know gr8 MUSIC
Sebastián , muy atinado comentario . En mi opinión, la música que hizo esta gente en esa época alcanzó un nivel asombroso , compositores , arreglistas , músicos, cantantes , productores , ingenieros de audio ....lo hicieron muy bien. Sin duda Ambrosía , Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan .....inolvidables e irrepetibles . Saludos desde Caracas .
Totally agree
@@1962amth Totalmente de cuando la música era música Saludos
I love it David :)
Thank you Dave !!! RIP JAMES INGRAM .
Thank you sharing such a beautiful memory you are all so loved sending you love and light and so much appreciation ❤❤
That acapella harmony you added at the beginning gave me chills! You guys could have done the whole song acapella if you ask me. WOW!!! Loved the personal pictures and videos of you three, too.
Dave I got your Movin' On cd in my car right now. Wife & I love you dude!
I still get chills whenever I listen to this song. 3 incredibly talented artists create Magic together with their vocal abilities.. ! Nothing will ever compare !
I fall in love with DAVID everytime I hear his voice 💙
Me too
The beginning gives you chills... wonderful
God bless you David Pack for creating this masterpiece again, and again. James was certainly one of a kind and the three of you together have stirred the hearts of many lovers for generations. That beautiful church adds an incredible dimension to this video. Thank you for adding that in. We are blessed to light candles in these holy places for our loved ones in the faith. Blessings to you and to the whole world.
ONE OF THE BEST THEMES IN THE WORLD
Hearing those voices together, is like a time capsule of all my music memories spanning the 8 decades I’ve lived in.
This also brought back a memory of when I met Dave at a wedding reception. I think it was Laurel Canyon. I think Michael Omartian, Mark Frajilian Rachel Meclish, Greg Laurie were there. I was the sound guy so forgive me for not recalling who got married. Anyhow, Dave sang great as always.
You still sound wonderful David. Those harmonies are just....wow!
Oh David. Your voice has always been so pure and so ethereal to me. I could listen to your music all day. You have touched me in my life with your messages in your lyrics and your love and faith. As a Take 6 fan since 1988, Ill always remember that you sang "Biggest Part of Me" before they remade it.
God Bless you David, I would love to collaborate with you someday
This is the only song I have the original cassette I bought, then I bought the vinyl album... and now have several versions on cd. Beautiful tribute to James Ingram…
I don't how I found my way here, but I'm happy that I did. What a beautiful tribute to your friend James Ingram. He's a talent that is surely missed by me. RIP James. I have been a fan of Ambrosia forever and still listen to their music on a regular basis. One of my favorites is The Midnight Special 1978 - 17 - Ambrosia - How Much I Feel. The last verse always tears me up inside.
This is sacred music as far as I’m concerned. I remember this from HS years. I always felt like the whole world should know this song.
Dude, you are SO unsung, it's a travesty. Love your artistry David. Hope to meet you someday and tell you in person how much I appreciate your amazing talents.
One of the greatest voices ever
Amazing talent. Bless you, David for this tribute to your friend. Three of the greatest voices of my lifetime in one song. Doesn't get better than this. I listen in awe over and over.
You sure are telling the Truth.
Listen to these three! Wonderful voices!
DAVID I have been a fan from the very beginning, holdin on to yesterday was my first experience listening, I was a musician almost 50 years, and harmonies were my main thing. But, your voice really stood out and made Ambrosia for me.Great songs and harmonies and a great singer. years ago i went to see Ambrosia open for Three Dog Night, and was very disappointed to find you weren`t there tho other original members were. They did fine, but your voice was missing. The very first time i heard this song i went right out and bought your solo album. I `ve always loved this song and wanted to learn for the bands i played in but nobody else wanted to spend the time it would take to get anywhere near what the three of you did. So I never got the chance to do the song. I listen to it often it was on tapes when they were in style, and cds , now on my I pod i make sure its in there. Thank you for all the music, and this one especially.One of my all time favorites... Stay Safe
So beautiful! I've always been a fan of all members of "the Trinity." Rest in peace, James. (And thank you for the LOVELY church images at the beginning ❤🕊)
wow beautiful so nice ... tears thats incredible ..what a tribute to a friend
You were truly the other "Trimity". James your voice will be missed here on earth. I hope you are joining my mom and her sister-in-law in God's heavenly choir.
All phenomenal voices- we miss you James. Thank you David.
Davids voice still the same after all those yrs. So nice to listen to....
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Love you Mike and James!!!!
wow goose bump. i love your song .. i'm one of you filipina's fun from france. thank you for the music.
I loved James Ingram so much. I also love Michael McDonald. It’s wonderful to hear all of your beautiful voices sing together.❤
Been cryin' to this golden track for 25 years now- was there ever a better vocal track anytime, by anybody- period!
One of my all time favorites! I have loved your music since the Ambrosia days...and all of your solo work. Thank you for your musical gifts.
Omg, all of your voices are TRULY breathtaking! I grew up listening to the 3 of you and everytime I hear you sing, it brings me to a happy place!
David Pack feat. Michael Macdonald I just can’t let Go. What an amazing 😉 and such an emotional song so beautifully sung.
i will never get tired of watching this video of david pack as of todate during lockdown period i cannot go to sleep without watching him on this video for me he is such an amazing singer and sooo good looking and sexy for his age
I'll never get tired of listening to this song from my favorite artists. Wow....thank you so much
Beautiful vocals all day long! 🥰
One of my idols. I love his songs.David Pack
Wait a minute!!! What??? Am I sitting here listening to the inimitable dreamy legendary unforgettable voice of David Pack? This is such an incredible tribute. I have chills all over. What an incredible gift it was finding this tonight! Wow!!! This is so unreal. I’m in awe!!
Much, much respect for David Pack. He positively pays tribute to black artists he got to work with throughout his career and not many guys, ie, Steve lukather Eddie van Halen mentions their interaction with black artists so positively, ie, Thriller, Africa etc.
Heart felt.I will always have my love right there but my heart.💞🌹
God bless you David! Thank you for the wonderful songs!
Wow, I had forgotten about this song. I've listened to a lot of 70's and 80's including Ambrosia, but forgot about this masterpiece. What a harmonious song. Thank you David, James, and Michael!!
David is something else. Beautiful voice
Damn they still got it
Amazing voices!
