Don McLean Online

One of the most recognizable songs ever written is also one of the most interesting in the subject matter it is about. It has been analyzed and written about ever since it was released in 1971. I remember it from dancing to it at a high school sock hop. Today’s FamSite is about the man who wrote it and took it to the top of the charts.

The site is Don McLean Online, and the song that he wrote is called “American Pie”. To me, it speaks of the music of the 50’s and 60’s, and the loss of innocence. But it may mean something else to you. Many people forget that Don McLean had more than one hit record. There was “Vincent”, and “Castles in the Air” among other notable tunes. At this site, you can get a very clear picture of his career, and what his music is. There are links to a discography, pictures, biography, news and tour schedule. A special treat is a Real Player live concert from the Kennedy Center that was performed in June of this year. There is also a special message from Don himself.

So drive your Chevy to the levy (which hopefully won’t be dry), and explore the site of one of the true musical geniuses of the music industry. It will be a trip well taken.

  1. I know info. That can show that Don McLean did NOT in fact write the song American Pie. It in fact whas stolen from someon that I know personaly. I just don’t se how anyone could do such a thing. I will try the best I can to make sure the true writer one day is given credit for the well known song American Pie.
