They were at their best in the early 70s, that's when I saw their concert at the old city auditorium in Atlanta. I again saw them in about 1975 at the Fox and they weren't as good.

'Ventura Highway' was a big hit for the group in late 1972...very good song...
Two thirds of the group made a short-lived comeback some ten years later, so that's probably where you've got confused...

America--they had comeback hit in '83, I think it was called "Make it to the Border."
"If I could make it to the border,
If I could make it to the coast,
If I could make it to the border,
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most...
doo doo doo da da doo doo doo
Make it to the border!"
STINK-O
:P

"Magic" was their best song. I think.

They are still actively touring and they sound GREAT - in fact, I'm going to see them tonite! ;D
"You Can Do Magic", "Right Before Your Eyes" ('Rudolph Valentino' ballad), and "Border" were all hits for them in the 80s. Their other top hits were from the 70s.
