America, formed by U.S. Air Force sons Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley in the U.K., became 1970s folk-rock icons. Known for harmonies and hits like "A Horse with No Name," they won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1972. Key tracks include "Ventura Highway," "Tin Man," and "Sister Golden Hair." Producer George Martin revived their chart success. Peek left in 1977; the band continued as a duo, scoring hits like "You Can Do Magic." They collaborated with artists like Adam Schlesinger, celebrated 50 years in 2019, and continued to tour despite members' passings.
