Dan Peek (November 1, 1950 – July 24, 2011) was a musician best known as a member of the rock band America from 1970 to 1977, together with Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell. He was also a pioneer in contemporary Christian music. Peek's first Christian music album and single became big hits on contemporary Christian music (CCM) radio stations and charts. The single "All Things Are Possible" was not only hit number 1 on the CCM singles chart, it also crossed over to the Billboard singles and adult contemporary charts, becoming one of the earliest CCM's crossover hits. Peek also published an autobiography entitled An American Band, based on America's most successful period, and his own spiritual journey.
