David Pack

Article summary

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.
