America

America, a perennial classic-rock favorite, has been making music since the late 1960s when Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek met in high school and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song “A Horse With No Name.” The success of that song led to a 1972 Grammy for Best New Artist and paved the way for a long string of other hits, including “I Need You,” “Sandman,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair.” While Peek left the trio in 1977, and later died in 2011, Beckley and Bunnell continue recording and performing the band’s legendary music.
