Ambrosia is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1970. Ambrosia had five Top 40 hit singles released between 1975 and 1980, including the Top 5 hits “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me”, and Top 20 hits “You’re the Only Woman (You & I)” and “Holdin’ on to Yesterday”. Most of the original band members have been active with the group continuously since their 1989 reformation to the present day, with the notable exception of original guitarist and lead vocalist David Pack who left in 2000.
Road Island is the fifth and final album by Ambrosia, released in 1982 on Warner Bros. Records. The album marks the band’s return to their progressive rock roots and it was the first one produced by James Guthrie.
