America est un groupe de rock américain fondé en Angleterre en 1970 par les amis Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek et Gerry Beckley. Ils se sont rencontrés au lycée et le groupe a été formé après l'obtention de leur diplôme. Le trio s'est appelé America car "ils ne voulaient pas que quelqu'un pense qu'ils étaient des musiciens britanniques essayant de sonner américain". America a sorti son premier album éponyme en 1971, sur lequel figurait le tube "A Horse With No Name". "I Need You" s'est également bien comporté, atteignant un sommet de 9ème place dans les charts américains. Homecoming (1972) a permis au groupe de remporter le Grammy Award du meilleur nouvel artiste, sur lequel figure un autre de leurs titres les plus célèbres : "Ventura Highway". Leur troisième album n'a pas connu les mêmes multitudes de succès que ses prédécesseurs. Hat Trick (1973) était notamment aventureux, comportant divers sons douteux, dont celui de claquettes. Ayant subi l'échec commercial de Hat Trick, America a employé un producteur externe, George Martin, qui avait auparavant aidé les Beatles à connaître le succès, et a ensuite publié Holiday (1974). Cet album a réintroduit le groupe dans le top 10, avec "Tin Man" atteignant la quatrième place. Hearts (1975) a suivi, ainsi que leur deuxième single en tête des hit-parades : "Sister Golden Hair". Après cela, le groupe a pris un tournant pour le pire. Leurs deux albums suivants, Hideaway (1976) et Harbor (1977), n'ont pas réussi à se classer dans les hit-parades et Peek a quitté le groupe. Les deux autres membres ont continué. Les deux albums suivants ne sont pas mieux accueillis : Silent Letter (1979), ironiquement surnommé Silent Record, et Alibi (1980), qui ne figurent pas dans les hit-parades et ne comportent pas de singles à succès. Les choses ont commencé à s'améliorer pour America avec la sortie de View From the Ground (1982). "You Can Do Magic" a atteint la huitième place. Devant ce succès, ils ont demandé à Russ Ballard, le producteur de l'album précédent, de produire le suivant. Your Move a été le suivant. Bien qu'il ait eu du succès, entrant dans le top 100, il n'a pas été à la hauteur de View From the Ground. Il semble que leurs jours sous les feux de la rampe soient terminés. Perspective (1984) n'a pas atteint les charts, et leur album live suivant, In Concert (1985), est devenu leur premier album qui n'a même pas atteint les charts. Ils ont quitté leur contrat de disque après. Il faut attendre près de dix ans avant qu'ils ne sortent un autre album studio. Hourglass (1994) ne parvient pas, une fois de plus, à rajeunir l'ancienne gloire d'America. Ils parviennent à décrocher un contrat avec Oxygen Records et sortent avec eux un album intitulé Human Nature. Une fois de plus, les résultats commerciaux ne sont pas au rendez-vous et Oxygen les laisse tomber. En 2006, ils ont été intronisés au Vocal Group Hall of Fame. Cependant, ils n'ont pas sorti de nouvelle musique pendant une autre année, ce qui porte à neuf ans l'intervalle entre deux albums studio. Here & Now (2007) était ce dont l'Amérique avait besoin. L'album a fait découvrir le groupe à une nouvelle population et a contribué à le réintroduire auprès d'un public qui ne l'avait pas entendu depuis des années. Il a atteint la 52e place dans les charts. Cinq ans plus tard, en 2012, le groupe a reçu une étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame. Huit autres années s'écoulent avant leur prochaine sortie studio, Lost & Found (2015), bien accueillie par la critique et composée de chansons écrites par les deux membres entre 2000 et 2011. Les deux membres restants, Bunnell et Beckley, continuent à faire des tournées.
