About AMERICA

America is a British-American rock band formed in 1970 by Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley. The trio met in London as sons of US Air Force personnel and began performing together while stationed there. They gained popularity in the 1970s for their close vocal harmonies and light acoustic folk rock sound, releasing a series of albums and singles that received regular airplay on pop and soft rock radio stations. The band formed shortly after the members graduated from high school. In 1970, Peek joined the group and they signed with Warner Bros. Their self-titled debut album (1971) included the transatlantic hits "A Horse with No Name" and "I Need You." Their second album, "Homecoming" (1972), featured the single "Ventura Highway." Subsequent albums included "Hat Trick" (1973) with "Muskrat Love," "Holiday" (1974) with "Tin Man" and "Lonely People," and "Hearts" (1975) with "Sister Golden Hair" and "Daisy Jane." Also in 1975, the compilation "History: America's Greatest Hits" was released, achieving multi-platinum certification in the United States and Australia. Peek left the band in 1977, after which their commercial success declined, though they returned to the US Top 10 in 1982 with "You Can Do Magic." Their final Top 40 hit was "The Border" in 1983. The band continues to record and tour, including the 2007 album "Here & Now," created in collaboration with contemporary artists influenced by America. America won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and were nominated for Best Pop Vocal Group at the 15th Annual Grammy Awards in 1973. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2006 and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.
