Ambitious - Jeff Beck
Flash is the fifth studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in July 1985 by Epic/CBS Records. The album reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart as well as reaching the top 60 in four other countries.
Two singles also charted, the first being a reunion with singer Rod Stewart (from the Jeff Beck Group) for a cover of "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield/The Impressions, which reached No. 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and No. 48 on the Hot 100, as well as the top 40 in four other countries. The second single, "Gets Us All in the End", reached No. 20 on Mainstream Rock. The instrumental "Escape" went on to win the award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammys, which was to be Beck's first of many such awards.
"Ambitious" had a notable presence on MTV shortly after the album's release, primed by a phenomenon of the era that saw a brief run of multiple cameo appearances within the same video. The opening gag in the video is Donny Osmond trying to land a major audition, followed by an odd assortment of celebrities of the time singing verses or playing an instrument, including TV stars Abby Dalton, Parker Stevenson, and Herve Villechaize, and musicians Dave Alvin, Gerry Buckley, Marilyn McCoo, Jimmy Hall, and Jon Butcher. In addition, Cheech Marin and Al Kooper reprise characters created for the earlier music video for Marin's "Born in East L.A." single, and Herb Alpert appears at the very end, too late to play trumpet.
