L to R: Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek, Dewey Bunnell  America performing in Massapequa, New York, 2012  Wikipedia: America is an American rock band, formed in 1970 by multi-instrumentalists Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley. The trio first met in London, where they began performing live. America achieved significant popularity in the 1970s, and was famous for the trio's close vocal harmonies and light acoustic folk sound. This popularity was confirmed by a string of hit albums and singles, many of which found airplay on pop stations. The band came together shortly after the members' graduation from high school, and a record deal with Warner Bros. Records followed. Their debut, a 1971 self-titled album, produced the transatlantic hits "A Horse with No Name" and "I Need You". Homecoming (1972) produced the single "Ventura Highway", and preceded Hat Trick (1973), which fared poorly on the charts. 1974's Holiday featured the hits "Tin Man" and "Lonely People", and 1975's Hearts generated the number one single "Sister Golden Hair", alongside "Daisy Jane". History: America's Greatest Hits, a compilation of singles, was released the same year and was certified multi-platinum in the United States and Australia. Peek left the group in 1977 and their commercial fortunes declined, despite a brief return to the top in 1982 with the single "You Can Do Magic". Four decades into their career, the group continues to record material and tour with regularity. Their 2007 album Here & Now was a collaboration with a new generation of musicians who credited the band as an influence. America has been inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A Horse With No Name And Other Hits:  Release Date: September 14, 2004 Duration: 31:52 Genre: Pop, Rock Styles: Contemporary Rock, Pop, Soft Rock, Adult Contemporary, AM Pop An enduring singles band in the mid- to late '70s, America managed to combine the sweeter edges of the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young into an accessible, middle of the road California sound which, if it wasn't exactly innovative, always sounded refreshingly bright coming out of the car speakers. This set is pretty brief but still manages to collect America's biggest hits, including "A Horse with No Name," "Tin Man," "Lonely People," and "Ventura Highway." Hardcore fans will find this ten-track collection woefully short, while casual listeners may well find it just right.  1 A Horse With No Name 4:10 2 I Need You 3:06 3 Only in Your Heart 3:19 4 Tin Man 3:29 5 Lonely People 2:29 6 Sister Golden Hair 3:18 7 Don't Cross the River 2:30 8 Daisy Jane 3:10 9 Amber Cascades 2:52 10 Ventura Highway 3:31   ENJOY!
