Don McLean is iconic in popular culture, most recognised for his song, ‘American Pie’, a ballad about the deterioration of teenage culture in America and the loss of innocence. It has been named by RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) as one of the top five songs of the 20th century.
One of the most revered and respected songwriters in American history, Don McLean has a string of mega-hits such as ‘Vincent’, ‘Castles in The Air’ and many more. His catalogue of songs has been recorded by Madonna, Garth Brooks, Josh Groban, Drake, Weird ‘Al’ Yankovic, and countless others.
In 2015, one of McLean’s four handwritten manuscripts of the lyrics to ‘American Pie’ was auctioned by Christie's, selling for just over $1.2 Million. McLean was honoured in 2019 on the Las Vegas
Walkway of Stars and his song ‘And I Love You So’ was the theme for Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s wedding.
In 2020, Don signed a recording contract with Time Life/Warner Bros. Records to release his catalogue of recordings as well as the much-anticipated new album Still Playin' Favorites’.
His famous song, ‘American Pie’ has been featured in the Avenger’s Black Widow film and the Tom Hanks movie BIOS. Plus, Don is now on the road marking the 50th anniversary of ‘American Pie’ with a world tour.
