Ambrosia was formed in Los Angeles in the early 70's. Cliff was featured soloist in their concerts during their formative years. 

Their 1980 album One Eighty produced two of the year's biggest hits:  "Biggest Part of Me", which reached #3 on the Hot 100 and "You're the Only Woman", which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Their Life Beyond L.A. album earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Group. A headlining world tour soon followed. 

For the Japanese leg of this tour, the group was joined by their longtime friend, guitarist and harmonica Cliff Woolley (formerly of The Association and the Art Pepper casual jazz combo).

One of the biggest honors bestowed upon the band was Quincy Jones' declaration that "Biggest Part of Me" was one of his all time favorite songs.
