Janet & America {the band}

Jimmy Jam has said several times he was a fan of America growing up, so maybe some of you will recognize these songs.

Good find DuranDuran. I knew Someone to Call My Lover was sampled from some song. It just flew by me that it was taken from America. I totally see the influence of Daisy Jane as well. Maybe I should look up America more. If you had asked me off hand, I would only have been able to respond with A Horse With no Name as a song of theirs.

I love America. I saw them a couple times in concert when they toured with Chicago. They had so many great hit songs. Easy to listen to and so relaxing. I miss the 70's sometimes.
