The man who wrote the song about the day the music died!


Don McLean is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit songs American Pie and Vincent.

McLean’s recording career began just two years before American Pie. His album Tapestry marked his entry into the folk scene, where he befriended Pete Seeger and became part of the circuit.

When McLean’s indie label, Media Arts, was sold to United Artists, he was unexpectedly given the opportunity to record his second album for a major label. American Pie became a worldwide phenomenon almost overnight.

Also notable is McLean’s willingness to tackle covers, such as his rendition of Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World.
