America Biography

America is an American folk rock band that originally included members Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek. The three members were barely out of their teens when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring #1 hits and winning a Grammy for best new musical artist. Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached #1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People". George Martin produced seven of their albums.

The band suffered a heavy blow when Dan Peek quit the group in 1977, right at the bottom of a steep decline in their popularity, but Beckley and Bunnell returned to the top 10 as a duo with "You Can Do Magic" in 1982. Continuing to tour, America maintains a loyal fan base and performs over 100 shows per year.

On January 16, 2007, America released Here & Now, the band's first major label studio album in over twenty years.

America Lyrics

America - A Horse With No Name Lyrics

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

America - Sister Golden Hair Lyrics

Well I tried to make it Sunday
But I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday
And I got myself undressed

America - You Can Do Magic Lyrics

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' down the road
Tell me how long you gonna stay here, Joe?

You don't care, I know

America - I Need You Lyrics

We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then wonder why?
Now you're gone I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me

Everyday I sit beside you
