Love this particular video because Vince looks exactly like he did when we were in high school together. Invited me over to his house one day, and said, "you probably won't like this song" as he put a 45 on the record player. It was Hank Williams (don't remember the tune now) and I said no, I love country music! Little did either of us know that he would make country singing a career! That was 1972 or 1973, I forget for sure. Always liked him and am so proud of him.

I had a close set of friends in 1974. Started with 8 of us and with marriage and meeting new friends it grew to over 60. We'd all get toghter on New Years Eve. The one song we played at every reunion that everyone sang as loud as we could was "Amie" the long version. It gave you a chill. Still does when I hear it. We were very close over the years, I'll be 70 next year, and all but 3 of the original friends have passed on, and lots of the rest too. It was an incredible time to be young in America.

Friend, if you know the first two albums with Craig Lee Fuller you might agree they're right up there with any of America's or the Eagles' early work. All that PPL lacked was the acclaim.

Vince was in the band from 1978 to 1984 but had nothing with the writing or creation of "Amie" which originally appeared on Pure Prairie League's Bustin' Out album in 1972.

From the album "Bustin' Out", combined with "Fallin' in and out of love" is/are simply one(2) of the most perfect song(s) ever written, IMO! Not complicated, by any means, but perfect in it's simplicity. I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore, thanks to KZbin premium! Mainly because they play the 2 songs separately. Sacrilege, I tell you! Very much like the way they break up Journey's "Feelin' That Way", and "Anytime"... Back to this song, I dunno, I guess that since I heard it "correctly" on an old AOR station back in the day for the 1st time, it struck such a "chord" in my guitar playing soul, I felt that I could only dream of writing something as good! Keep in mind, this is my own opinion, don't judge, lol!

My brothers favorite song, he passed at 21, I miss you David, we all miss you, remember when we gathered frogs together we were rich in frogs & pollywogs back in the days when California's creeks & rivers were clean. I often wonder how nice it would be if you were still here with us. Love you David always in my heart.

Vince didn't join the band until around 1979. If you saw them in 1975 it was during the re-issue of the song as a single, and the genius behind the band, Craig Lee Fuller, had already been ousted due to his minor criminal situation.
