The story behind
You Girl, according to DoReSol
The song *You Girl* has a duration of 3 minutes and 32 seconds. It was produced by Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, and the mixing was handled by Mark Linett. This track is part of the album View from the Ground, the tenth studio work by the British-American duo America, released by Capitol Records in August 1982.
This record marked a comeback for the group, which had been considered finished after the departure of Dan Peek five years earlier. View from the Ground had a moderate reception in the United States, reaching number 41 on the Billboard album chart. Two singles were released from this work that were well-received: *You Can Do Magic*, which reached number eight on the Billboard singles chart and number five on the adult contemporary music chart, and *Right Before Your Eyes*, also known as *Rudolph Valentino*, which ranked number 45 on the Billboard singles chart and number 16 on the adult contemporary music chart. The track *You Can Do Magic* remained on the charts for 20 weeks, longer than any other single by America.
