Happy Birthday to Gerry Beckley of America, who celebrates his 70th today. In honor we go back to 1972 for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, “Ventura Highway”.

America delivered 11 Top 40 hits in the 70’s and early 80’s with monster #1 hits like ” A Horse With No Name” and “Sister Golden Hair”. Ventura Highway was a top ten hit released in the Fall of ’72.

Over the years I’ve worn out my copy of America’s Greatest Hits, check out the live performance of “Ventura Highway” today’s Forgotten 45.
