August 3, 1975. We, the band America, were riding high on the recent success of our second No. 1 record, “Sister Golden Hair,” the first release from our latest album, Hearts.
Hearts was our fifth album, but the second consecutively produced by the legendary Beatles producer George Martin. It followed closely after the first album George had produced for us, Holiday, which included the hits “Tin Man” and “Lonely People.” An even bigger success, “Sister Golden Hair” put us in the rarefied air of being able to headline virtually anywhere we chose.
