View from the Ground

View from the Ground is the tenth studio album by British-American folk rock duo America, released by Capitol Records in August 1982.

The album marked a comeback for the group, who had been written off since Dan Peek's departure five years prior. 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. "You Can Do Magic" spent more time on the charts, 20 weeks, than any other America single.

The song "Inspector Mills" was a hit in the Philippines in the 1980s and remains one of the band's best-known songs in the country.
