America

In November 1982, America delivered a memorable live performance on SCTV, showcasing their enduring appeal just a couple of years after the release of their album 'View from the Ground' in 1982. This album was notable for its blend of soft rock and pop, featuring hits that resonated with audiences, such as 'You Can Do Magic.' At this point in their career, America was navigating the changing tides of the music industry while maintaining their signature harmonies and lyrical charm. An interesting fact is that during this period, America consisted of founding members Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, after losing Dan Peek a few years prior. Their performance on SCTV not only highlighted their classic hits but also emphasized their ability to adapt and remain relevant in the evolving musical landscape of the early '80s.
