Just consider the odds of three US Air Force personnel just happening to be posted to the same station in England where their sons just happen to meet at school and they all just happen to be brilliant musicians, songwriters and singers and form a group that conquers the musical world.

I didn't know Dan died....maybe that is why I came to this song today; tears were in my eyes from hearing "Here" now this. RIP Dan Peek. So many chords, so little time.

America's first five albums were great. Following this album, my absolute favorites were Homecoming and Holiday. I don't know why but all their albums began with "H".

I didn't know that Dan died either. What a shame. That run of the end of the song is awesome. I've been trying to figure it out on the guitar for a long time. I'm getting close! I saw the original America in concert a few times back in the 70's. They were soooo good. They each played acoustic guitar with a small back up band. I had never seen anything like it nor have I since.

@able506 I have heard all of the greatest hits stuff, but when I heard this cd, I think its way better. No one really knows about this CD.
