When I used to hear this in the early 80's upon its release I used to picture it was the *bearded* guy (Dewey Bunnell) that was singing this! LOL Imagine my surprise when I found out later all that time I'd pictured the names/voices wrong and mixed up! LOL
I think Russ Ballard wrote this tune? what ever happened to Him? He had a song called, Voices" in the early 1980's. He wrote a lot of tunes for bands like Santana, Rainbow, and Three Dog Night. Quite a variety here. obviously talented.
love, America....a great blend of soft R&B, ..good rock too....this is my favorite!!! if !you follow commercial charts......... I thought this was the best song of 1982!..
@ugotpimp It may be dated but it still sounds terrific to me. Also, I think some songs sound a whole lot better when they are done electric & "polished" as you say. This would also be good in acoustic but i doubt it would be near as catchy.
Beautiful song, good for the soul, soft, gentle to the spirit..loved these guys then, and love them even more now..awesome harmonies that seem to come effortless..

i wouldve preferred this song a bit more acoustic and less polished.
it sounds dated to me in the 80s....whereas the older 70s stuff actually seems timeless.

Can you fix the aspect ratio of this video? The horizontal squeeze is awful. Less pixelation would be good too.
