Amie (song)
"Amie" is a song by the American country rock group Pure Prairie League. The song initially appeared on the band's 1972 album, '' Bustin' Out''. It was subsequently released as a single in 1975, after it gained popularity as an album cut. History The song was written by Craig Fuller and was originally recorded by the band on their 1972 album '' Bustin' Out'', but was not released as a single until 1975, following a suggestion by critic and Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye at an RCA release party after gaining popularity on college and commercial radio stations as an album cut.
