“American Pie” is a folk rock song by Don McLean for the 1971 album of the same name. The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for a month, peaked at number one on the Australian music chart, and reached the top 10 on the Danish and Norwegian charts. This song refers partly to the history of the tragedy that happened to young musicians and pioneers of rock and roll in 1959 and partly to the history of the United States in the idealized 1950s and gloomy 1960s. Don McLean wrote this song, inspired by his own youthful memories and the emotions that the news of Buddy Holly’s death aroused in him. This musician and songwriter enjoyed his success for only a year and a half. Still, he strongly influenced the development of the style of many other musicians (including The Beatles and other British bands of that time).
