AMERICA first captivated the world in the 1970s with chart-topping hits like "I Need You" and "Sister Golden Hair."

Their journey didn’t stop there; the band continued to innovate well into the 2000s with releases like the *Highway* box set and the *Holiday Harmony* album. In 2020, AMERICA celebrated their remarkable legacy with the release of *Half Century*, the ultimate box set, and an authorized biography penned by Jude Warne, which even garnered praise from actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton.
AMERICA's influence extends far beyond the music charts. Their songs have found their way into film, television, and video games, becoming part of the cultural fabric.
