American Pie - Don McLean

This one is easily Don McLean’s signature song. “American Pie” is a tribute to Rock ‘n’ Roll but more importantly, it’s about “the day the music died.” It refers to the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson Jr. in February of 1959. It pays homage to these three legends which makes it very respectable it’s also a little sad but it is mainly a celebration of life.
