Ambrosia (band)

The band continues to talk about doing another album of original music. A number of the group's songs were featured on the film's soundtrack album. In 2004 they released yet another best-of album titled How Much I Feel And Other Hits, which contains mainly ballads. In the midst of the breakup, Screen Gems's You Got Served, a film starring the members of the group and Omarion's alleged half-brother Marques Houston as breakdancers, went into general release on January 30, 2004, and, hitting #1 at the box office, earned more money than any other film that opened during a Super Bowl weekend. In 2002 the band released a live album, Live At The Galaxy, and a best-of album with the tracks remastered, titled The Essentials, which includes a broad spectrum of their music. Three of the members claimed financial mishandling by Stokes' management company, TUG (The Ultimate Group); the fourth member, Omarion, claimed the allegations were untrue. Ambrosia reformed in 1997, releasing Anthology, a best-of album which included two new songs. In January 2004, Chris Stokes announced that the group had broken up.

Joe Puerta was a founding member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Mario and Nick Cannon were also performers on The Scream Team Tour.. After Ambrosia, David Pack produced many records by top artists. In addition to that, they were featured on the soundtrack album for MGM's film Barbershop and headlined The Scream Team Tour, their third, in 2003. In the wake of the album's disappointing performance, the band broke up. Their second (and final) regular studio album, Pandemonium!, was released in December of the same year, and garned the hit singles "Bump Bump Bump" and "Girlfriend." The group was featured regularly on the covers of teen magazines such as Right On and Word Up, and released a Christmas album in-between their regular two albums intitled Santa Hooked Me Up. Thompson's books, it was poorly received by critics and fans alike. Even though they were newcomers to the industry, their first LP, 2002's B2K, became a instant hit.

Even with an album cover drawn by Ralph Steadman, the popular artist who illustrated Hunter S. B2K was an African-American R&B boy band, founded and managed by music producer Chris Stokes in 2001 and active until 2004, that was one of the most popular R&B acts of the early 2000s. The fifth album, released in 1982 and titled Road Island, was their first effort done without the assistance of Freddie Piro's production company. J-Boog (Jarell Damonte Houston), born August 11, 1985 in Los Angeles. The title of the album, One Eighty was believed by fans to signal the group's 180 degree change in direction. Raz-B (DeMario Thornton), born June 13, 1985 in Cleveland, Ohio. This album added new members to the band, and earned the band three Grammy nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Group. Lil' Fizz (Druex Pierre Fredricks), born November 26, 1985 in Los Angeles, California.

The fourth album was released in 1980, and changed direction to mainstream popular music. Omarion (Omari Ishmael Grandberry), born November 12, 1984 in Los Angeles, California. This album was released on CD first in Japan, where they removed the song "Kamikaze", the lyrics of which are the first-person story of a WWII Kamikaze pilot. As a result, CD copies of this album are missing this song, which was included on the original vinyl record. It continued in a progressive rock style, without the lush arrangements and with a harder edge. The third album was released in 1978 and titled Life Beyond LA.

During 1977 the group also participated in the recording of the first Alan Parsons Project album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Ambrosia provided an arrangement of "Magical Mystery Tour" that has since been very popular in their live shows. The film music consisted of different groups providing their arrangements of songs written by the Beatles. In 1977 the group participated in a variety of projects, including providing a song for the movie All This And WWII.

The record sleeve folded into a large pyramid, tapping into a fad belief in mystical "pyramid power". It featured lush orchestration and vocal arrangements. This album was produced by Alan Parsons, and continued in the progressive rock style. The second album, Somewhere I've Never Traveled, was released in 1976.

The album was engineered by Alan Parsons, and nominated for the Grammy award for Best Engineered Recording (other than Classical). The album included one song "Nice, Nice, Very Nice", the lyrics of which were taken from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s novel Cat's Cradle. When their eponymous first album was released in 1975, it was in a progressive rock style. The core members of the band are:.
