Dan Peek was with America on their first seven albums before converting to Christianity and leaving the band at its pinnacle of success in 1977.  His distinctive voice is the lead vocal on the America hit 'Lonely People'.  I'm hoping to get more information soon, and when I do I will update this post.

Dan had several Christian albums after his departure from America, and all are quite good.  He has lived a very quiet life out of the public spotlight for the past two decades.  Check out this video of Dan performing 'Lonely People' with America.  He will be missed:  (via DanPeek.com)
