The story behind the song

"Tin Man" is a 1974 song by America, written by band member Dewey Bunnell and produced by George Martin, who also played piano on the recorded version. The song's title and some lyrics reference the Tin Woodman from The Wizard of Oz, a favorite movie of Bunnell's. Though Bunnell initially hesitated to record it, his bandmates insisted it was perfect for their 1974 album, Holiday.
