History: America's Greatest Hits, Produced by George Martin, Warner Brothers Records, 1975.
When this album was released America had previously released five albums with a couple number one singles. This album took advantage of that early success and reached number three on the album billboard chart. It was number 41 of the top albums from Top Pop Catalog Albums published in 2007. It included all eleven of America's charting singles up to that time and the song "Sand Man" which to that point had not been released as a single. The songs that had reached number one were "Horse with no Name" and "Sister Golden Hair." They are very nice. "Horse with no Name" was part of their first album. It was originally called "Desert Song." My personal favorite of America is "Lonely People." It gave me hope when I was so shy I had a terrivle time meating girl. This song told me not to give up. They also recorded "Muskrat Love" before the Captain and Tennille. I really like "Tinman" as well. "I Need You" is also very memorable.
At this time America was the original trio who were American children of service members serving in England and the band formed in England. They are, Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley.
