Homecoming is the second studio album by America, released on November 15, 1972, through Warner Bros. Records. Acoustic guitar-based, with a more pronounced electric guitar and keyboard section than their first album, their second effort helped continue the band's success, and includes one of their best known hits, "Ventura Highway".

"Das Letzte Einhorn" - плод совместного творчества титулованного американского композитора Джимми Уэбба (Jimmy Webb) и группы "America" (образована в Англии в 1969 году сыновьями американских военнослужащих Джерри Бекли (гитара, фортепиано, вокал), Дьюи Баннеллом (гитара, вокал) и Дэном Пиком (гитара, клавишные, вокал)). Саундтрек написан по мотивам одноимённого мультипликационного фильма, выпущенного аниматорами японской студии "Topcraft" совместно с США, Великобританией и ФРГ в 1982 году на базе детской книги за авторством американского писателя Питера Сойера Бигла (сам роман "Последний Единорог" был представлен автором на суд читателей в 1968 году; произведение получило огромный успех и навсегда закрепило имя Питера Бигла среди плеяды легендарных писателей).

Released in 1971, America is the self-titled debut album from one of the most original and influential pop groups of the '70s. The album went to # 1 on the Billboard album chart and stayed there for 5 weeks. It produced two hit singles, "A Horse With No Name" spent three weeks at # 1 on the Billboard singles chart in 1972 and "I Need You" hit # 9. America highlights the exquisite harmonies and subtle acoustic shadings that would become an America trademark.

The album was released in June 1983. "The Border", featuring Bunnell's reworked lyrics, strings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and an energetic saxophone solo by Raphael Ravenscroft, hit number 33 on the Billboard singles chart - what would turn out to be America's last Top 40 pop hit to date.

This album marked a major comeback for a group that had been generally written off since Dan Peek's departure five years before. It was a modest hit in the US, reaching number 41 on the Billboard album chart, and produced two hit singles: "You Can Do Magic" reached number eight on the Billboard singles chart and number five on the adult contemporary chart, and "Right Before Your Eyes" (also popularly known as "Rudolph Valentino") peaked at 45 on the Billboard singles chart and 16 on the adult contemporary chart.
