'He Didn't Rule With an Iron Hand': Producer George Martin Remembered by America Singer Dewey Bunnell
After the The Beatles called it quits in 1970, producer George Martin found himself associated with another band -- America, whose members met as Air Force personnel stationed in London and scored a hit with their first single and debut album, both called A Horse With No Name, in 1971. Martin came on board for 1974's Holiday and stuck around for three more albums -- 1975's Hearts, the following year`s Hideaway and Harbor in 1977. The first two hit top 5 peaks on the Billboard 200, while the latter two went top 20. Martin`s hits with the band included "Tin Man," "Lonely People," "Sister Golden Hair" and "Daisy Jane." During an interview last year the group's Dewey Bunnell, the singer recalled the experience of working with the iconic producer.
