In 1975 the band scored its biggest hit with the single "Amie", a track that originally appeared on their 1972 album Bustin' Out. Pure Prairie League scored five consecutive Top 40 LPs in the 1970s and added a sixth in the 1980s. They disbanded in 1988 but regrouped in 1998 and continue to perform. The line-up has been fluid over the years, with no one member having served over the band's entire history. The band's most recent line-up consists of Call, drummer Scott Thompson, keyboardist/guitarist Randy Harper, guitarist Jeff Zona and bassist Jared Camic. Other notable musicians to have played with Pure Prairie League include guitarists Vince Gill, Gary Burr and Curtis Wright.

I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Verse 2] Don't you think the time is right for us to find All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time? And can you see which way we should turn, together or alone? I can never see what's right or what is wrong Oh, you take too long to see [Chorus] Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Well, Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Verse 3] Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way And all the things you thought before just faded into gray And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me? If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see Won't you look at me and tell me [Chorus] Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I, longer if I do, yeah, now Amie, what you wanna do?
