1980s - #3: In 1978, Dan Peak left America not only pursue a new musical direction, but also to renew his Christian faith. Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell decided to continue on as America, but struggled over the next few years to achieve the commercial success they were used to. Then in 1982, the duo brought in a host of high-profile musicians, including the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson, Toto's Jeff Porcaro, Christopher Cross. and former Argent guitarist Russ Ballard to help record the album, The View From The Ground. The disc climbed to #41 on the Billboard charts, making it their most successful album since Harbor in 1977. In addition, the single You Can Do Magic, crafted by Ballard for the band, went to #8 on the charts, giving America its first top 10 single since Sister Golden Hair in 1975! This FM broadcast captures America during their 1982 comeback, in Cleveland on September 5, 1982, 39 years ago today.
