American Pie was a 1972 number one song for its writer, Don McLean. The song lyrics referred to 'the day the music died,' a sentiment reflecting upon the February 3, 1959, plane crash that killed young rockers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. In 2000, a dance version by Madonna reached number 7. |
