Ventura Highway: America

Dan Peek, a founding member of the popular 1970s band America and singer of high harmonies on hits that included “A Horse With No Name” and “Ventura Highway,” has died, his father said Tuesday. He was 60. “Dan & his music will live on in the great songs he shared with us all,” Beckley, also a member of America, wrote on the group’s website.

    They sounded like many others, but the hits were OK. Ventura Highway was my favorite.
