Dan Peek, November 1, 1950 - July 24, 2011 R.I.P.

Dan Peek was one of the original members of America, one of the most popular performing groups of all time. His personal story, especially after leaving the band, is remarkable, and is briefly summarized in a post written tonight by Aaron Goldstein on the Blog of The American Spectator. Be sure to click on the video of Dan's recent interview on the Blog post.

Dan wrote "Lonely People," one of the first and biggest hits of America. Here is an early video of that #1 hit:
