I grew up & live in The San Fernando Valley. I literally have to take Ventura Highway to get to the mountain passes ( Topanga Canyon, Las Virgenes Road, Kanen-Dume, or Highway 23 ) over to the North County Beaches. Almost impossible not to imagine the beach or road trips along the Coast when I hear this song.
Right on! I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley! Lived there from 64 to 1993. Also lived in the Antelope valley and Ventura. Spent a year living in Hollywood hills off of Barham.
Tin Man, A Horse With No Name, Sister Golden Hair would be my suggestions by America. Thanks for this reaction to a nice song. Newly subscribed, and along for the ride.
@King N Kamy Okay so, Janet Jackson used the intro to this America song for her song called Someone to Call my Lover but, her big brother Michael used a song from the group America called A Horse With No Name for his song called A Place With No Name. America was a great 70's group with other hits like Tin Man and Horse With No Name and You Can Do Magic just to name a few.
This is an alternate, but very similar version to the original. It's more airy and echo-y, and extra voices have been added ... I think you'd like the original better. It's tighter, warmer and a little faster ... to me.
The group America are three white guys. I don't know if any band members have Native American ancestry. I remember my sisters playing all the great songs from the late 60's and early 70's, the group America included. It was a great era.
LOL, more like, TLC is like this, though TLC were not musicians,, they were more like Lyricist/Vocalists with a producer who comprised the backing music.

Absolutely sublime! The only problem with America is they never bettered their self titled debut. One of the best acoustic guitar albums ever!
1 of the great childhood hits that made me really pay attention to the lyrics and taught me what music is!
The American free wind will always blow.
FYI this song, this band, this album captures the feel and the vibe of the laid back part of the 1970's
TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw them in 81!!
Just found your channel. Subscribed...
"Sister Golden Hair" got next! More America 🤙
Apparently, Janet Jackson sampled it according to other reactors.

Kind of song that just transport you somewhere else, oh and Janet Jackson sampled the intro
Please check out their song Tin Man. More great harmonies and a great 70's soft rock song by America.
U two are dope
This is a sunny summer day riding on a back road with the windows down song.
The real question is how haven't they heard this song in their 39+ years but I know this song well at the age of 17 going on 18 soon

Thanks ,I thought it sounded different.
@@Homunculas 😊👍
I believe the guitar part was sampled by Janice Jackson one of her songs .
Janet Jackson sampled this for "Someone To Call My lover"
Wow how privileged are we to get two back to back sweet
That riff has been sampled many times.
This isn't the original studio version. Must be a remix.
I have always thought this is a (very good) cover version.
How cold anyone not like this song.
Yo, you guys are fucking cool!
Billy Idol songs

What the fuck does Native American ancestry have to do with this song?
@@jgilbertify One of the individuals hosting this presentation asked if the group America are comprised of Native American band members.
They are not a Indians. Great group...it’s folk country!

The original recording was better because of the echo this 40 year anniversary edition had.
Not the original version
Horse With No Name I think that's the name of the song this is like my mom's era but I like it
