With their fathers serving American Air Force and residing in England's base, the trio met in high school that was specifically set up for such families. Patriotic pride mixed with homesickness prompted the band's name as they wanted to separate themselves from other groups performing at that time in the area. As America they performed in local clubs and it was during these gigs that the trio was discovered by the DJ Jeff Dexter. His interest in them earned the band a deal with Warner Bros. and the rest as they say is history.

America came up with their self-titled record in 1971, which was re-released a year later with the hit song “A Horse with No Name”. A folk-pop classic, the album produced many popular tracks and displayed an intricate airplay of acoustic guitar. With three incredible musicians in the lineup who could sing a variety of styles, from authentic folk to Beatles balladry to California pop, America dominated the music scene for half a decade. In the 80s, America signed with Capitol Records and continued with their evolution as great singers and songwriters. It was during this time that Dan Peek left the band and embarked on a solo career to compose contemporary Christian music. Experiencing a setback, the duo, Beckley and Bunnell were quick to pull up themselves and came up with the hit album “View from the Ground”.

In 1984, America released their twelfth album titled “Perspective”.
