Ambrosia's Christopher North dead at 75: Iconic 70s band founding member passes after health battle

The music lives on! Currently 3 Ambrosia songs on my driving playlist. Condolences to his loved ones.

Christopher North - the founding keyboardist of 1970s rock band Ambrosia - has died at the age of 75 following a battle with throat cancer. The musician’s death was confirmed by the band in a statement shared to Facebook on Monday, paying tribute to his electrifying presence on stage.

Biggest part of me is wonderful.

I just disovered their beautiful music few weeks ago. This is sad. Cancer sucks..

They're the biggest part of my playlist.

I saw them in concert about 13 or 14 years ago. I think him and the bass player were the only original members, they put on a great show but one of the things I remember the most was his animated stage presence. Rest in Peace.

It would be amazing to see David return to the group, in honor of North 🫶 RIP

did he smoke?

I worked retail for 14 years. The experience nearly ruined music for me, because of the slop I withstood daily. There were only three exceptions of tunes that held up (once I looked them up because they were all before my time): Bob Seger's Turn the Page, Genesis' That's All, and Ambrosia's Holding on To Yesterday. Probably because the store tended to play them late at night.

who's that
