About David Pack

David Robert Pack (born July 15, 1952) is an American singer, songwriter, who is best known as co-founder, lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock band Ambrosia in the 1970s and 1980s. Pack wrote and sang all of Ambrosia's RIAA certified gold hits including 3x Grammy nominee “Biggest Part of Me”, “How Much I Feel” and “You're the Only Woman (You & I).” Pack also co-wrote and sang the band’s first top 20 hit, “Holdin’On To Yesterday,” in 1975 with Joe Puerta, mixed by engineer Alan Parsons and was Grammy nominated. In the mid-1990s,Pack produced Ambrosia's Anthology CD on Warner Bros. (Best of) along with three new tracks. These included “I Just Can't Let Go” with James Ingram and Michael McDonald remixed from Pack's solo album in 1986 (a top 15 Billboard Adult Contemporary hit). Pack stopped touring with the band in 2000, after they played a concert in Atlantic City without him while he was on vacation with his family, fraudulently advertising that Pack would be performing. Then Pack sang "I Won't Be Led Astray" with Joe Bonamassa on guitar, for Parsons 2022 From the New World LP. Parsons mixed Ambrosia's Grammy nominated first LP and hit song "Holdin' on to Yesterday" then produced and engineered the second LP Somewhere I've Never Travelled also Grammy Nominated Best Engineered Record of 1976. That record became The Alan Parsons Project Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allan Poe with Ambrosia playing on "The Raven". Pack then introduced Parsons to 20th Century Fox Records Pres.
