From their 1975 debut self-titled album, _Ambrosia_ on 20th Century
Records, "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" was the lead track. Ambrosia was a
spin-off from the Alan Parsons Project and was excellent early on, yet
IMHO, devolving into a schlock top 40 band that eventually fizzled out. The
song is still available on their _Anthology_ CD (check eBay or Amazon.com
or a used record store).
I read in _Billboard_ magazine that the record company sent KV a box
_Ambrosia_ albums. When I met KV at the 1979 University of South Carolina
Writers' Workshop, I asked him about the _Billboard_ article, and his reply
was "I don't know about that, but I did start my own music publishing
company. Breakfast Publishing!"
