America celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with compilations tracing the journey through the decades of the Grammy Award-winning group, from the top of the pop charts to the hearts of countless fans. AMERICA has influenced several generations of musicians with its acoustic rock rich in harmonies and pop finesse serving classics that reflect their era. The group's major hits in the 1970s and early 1980s sometimes overshadowed the depth of their lyrics, such as the ecological message of "Horse With No Name," the romance of "Sister Golden Hair," the military paranoia of "Sandman" (partly based on conversations with soldiers returning from Vietnam), and the wise advice of "Don't Cross The River."
