No...no name for that horse! :D

America carried on into the 80s as a duo (despite in performances seeing 3 guys singing). Original member Dan Peek left to do Christian oriented music.

"You Can Do Magic" was a good step into the decade but they never did anything as good following it. As we know,in the 80s,a lot of great 70s acts took a back seat to the "new wave". Not just the,then,new,British acts coming in but the younger American groups also.

In all (including singles not making the Hot 100,America had 19 singles in all. Dotted lines indicate next LP.
