Dan Peek, co-founder of the soft rock/folk music band America, has passed away at age 60. Say what you will about their music, songs such as A Horse With No Name, Ventura Highway and many others bring back many fond memories for me. R.I.P. Dan. :dropatear

Bummer! I wasn't a big fan of this band in the 70s, but I saw them do a concert about 5 years ago and they were terrific, they sounded very faithful to their recordings and seemed to really enjoy playing, and not going through the motions for the money as some of these touring half-original-member bands do. I'm sad to hear this.

I never saw them live, I envy you. Sister Golden Hair.

I can't really say why the news of Dan's passing has hit me so hard, much as I love his music. I feel like I've been hit in the gut though. 🙁

This is indeed sad news. I actually dug America quite a bit. 🙁
 
Certainly one of my favorite groups from the 70's. Ventura Highway is on my permanent song list for road trips, and Tin Man is one of my favorite all time songs.

RIP Dan....thank you for the music.

This Musician Dan Peek was commonly used and this become the favorite music group for so many people. And now it is informed that you are updating the forum from version 3 to version 4. And it requires time to update it and also the server will be little slow for a few days after updating the server.
 
I liked the group, too, Bugs. I was playing music in those days and our group covered "Lonely People," ... Dan and I are (were) the same age.

I'm 56. Never saw America live or met Dan, but I feel like I've lost a friend. 🙁
 
I was saddened to hear of Dan's passing the other day. My mom loved America and I grew up with a lot of their music. 🙁

Great stuff indeed.
 
I was never a great fan of America either, but their music was the soundtrack to my life back in the day.

As an aside, Janet Jackson once sampled a chunk of Ventura Highway. It worked rather well as I recall!
