Ambrosia, a rock band that explored the intersections of progressive rock, soft rock, and blue-eyed soul, emerged in the early 1970s in Southern California. They solidified their spot in the music world with their self-titled debut album, "Ambrosia," released in 1975, which included hits that showcased their lush, harmonically complex sound. Over the years, the band evolved musically, incorporating more mainstream rock and pop elements into their work. Albums like "Somewhere I've Never Travelled" and "Life Beyond L.A." demonstrated their versatility and musical dexterity, blending intricate arrangements with accessible melodies.

By the time they released "One Eighty" in 1980, Ambrosia had successfully transitioned into the pop rock arena, scoring major hits with tracks like "Biggest Part of Me" and "You're the Only Woman (You & I)", which remain staples on classic rock and adult contemporary stations. Despite lineup changes and the band's hiatus in the late 1980s, they have continued to perform and record, including their US internet release of "Road Island" and energetic live performances captured in their "Live" album. Ambrosia's ability to adapt their sound over the decades while preserving the intricate harmonies and elaborate arrangements that marked their early work has cemented their legacy as a versatile and enduring act in rock music.
