America is a light rock band, most popular in the early and mid 1970s and now best known for their #1 hits "Horse With No Name" and "Sister Golden Hair."
Members include:
• Gerry Beckley (1970-present) – lead and backing vocals, keyboards, guitars, bass, harmonica
• Dewey Bunnell (1970-present) – lead and backing vocals, guitars
• Dan Peek (1970-1977) – lead and backing vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, harmonica
Sons of American military personel stationed in England, all three attended London Central High in the mid-sixties where they met and eventually formed the rock band America.
America was released in the United States and quickly went platinum with the favorites "I Need You," "Horse with No Name," "Sandman," and "Riverside." Their second album, appropriately named Homecoming, saw the band moving back to the United States to record. The most notable song was "Ventura Highway."
The group's fourth album Holiday had them with new producer George Martin, who worked with them through Silent Letter in 1979 with much success. The next album, Hearts, featured "Sister Golden Hair" and "Daisy Jane." Dan Peek left the group after recording Harbor in 1977. The remaining duo produced many more albums and had one more significant radio hit, "You Can Do Magic," reaching #8 on the pop charts in 1982. Their last top-40 hit was "The Border," which went to #33 on the pop charts (and #4 on the adult contemporary charts) the next year.
