He wrote this song and sang it. This year is the 50th anniversary of that song. It's also been 62 years today when the plane carrying Buddy Holly, JP Richardson ( The Big Bopper) and Richie Valence went down killing everyone seconds after taking off. Iconic song. Thanks for checking it out.

Don McLean sang the original version of "American Pie" which is a song about the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper who died on Feb 3, 1959 in a plane crash outside of Clear Lake, Iowa. If you want another good song by Don McLean listen to "Vincent" about Vincent van Gogh

One of the things I love about Home Free covers is when they include the original artist.

[Smilodon]

"What song does Don McLean sing...?" THIS ONE... This song is an absolute icon of American music. Welcome to the world...

[reginaminton]

So many people now don't know about Don McLean or the passing of three really great singers. Don't feel bad about it, you are much younger. Made me cry to think you felt bad about your reaction. It is sad to remember the day Buddy Holly Richie Valens and the Big Bopper (JP Richardson) plane went down. You are young and no reason for you to actually know Don McLean. You did just fine. :)

[brendagrothier]

This is the 50th Anniversary of American Pie. And yes Don McLean is 75.

[miamidolphinsfan]

Such an ICONIC song, it's the theme song of my generation...everyone my age can sing along to all 8+ minutes...others have explained what it's about....but Billy it's really good to see you react to Home Free again....I know you like them a lot !!!! They freakin' killed this !

62 years ago today the music died when Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper perished in a plane crash during the Winter Carnival Tour. Also slated to be on the plane was Dion Dimucci of Dion and the Belmonts and Waylon Jennings who was playing bass for Buddy Holly at the time, but they did not take the flight. They took off around 1 AM and the crash was attributed to inexperience flying in such conditions by the 21 year old pilot. Don McLean wrote and sang American Pie. Another song he did was Vincent (Starry, Starry Night.)
Sermon Over!

[mike]

At the start when you asked what song he sang i yelled at my phone THIS ONE.

[ddraiss]

Best reaction ever when you finally figured the Don McLean part! It's amazing 50 years later and his voice is nearly identical to when he originally sang it.

[jenniferirvine]

Don, wrote the song many many years ago. Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the airplane. He lived with survivors guilt untill the day he died.

[grandmaterilee]

Billy, I don't know if you so crazy, but you so precious. Thank you for reacting to that song. The memories came rushing back in a flood of tears. I was a child on the day the music died and a young adult when Don McLean wrote and released the song. Don McLean was my favorite singer of that time, and Home Free is my favorite group of this time. It is a joy watching your channel. Thank you again.

[kuttfam]

Don McClean singing with Home Free made it so special! And it was amazing !

[yvonneb]

💡💡💡💡💡💡 ding ding ding! Oh I knew you didn't know. You're not old enough to remember the original. I love it when I see these reactions and the reactor doesn't realize what they're watching. Meanwhile I'm screaming at the video "YES HE'S THE ORIGINAL SINGER!" 😂😂😂😂

[JaimeDornanLady]

I remember playing this song as a kid in the early ‘70’s and singing to it, & I still have it on the original 45! Everyone knew it word for word. Songs like “American Pie” & “Rockin’ Robin” we’re extremely popular back then, & we’d play them over & over til our parents had enough! lol #HomeFryForLife

[belinda]

Yes, Don was the singer of this song originally. It's a classic almost everyone young or old grew up with.

[joanwharff]

This Is the Full version...8 1/2 minutes !!! It was a huge hit !!!! At 75, he still has an Awesome voice!!!

[bernadette]

Yay! Wasnt it amazing?! Vocals on point! It's the 50th anniversary of American Pie this year. Don is 75 years old and still has amazing voice. Check out the making of this/behind the scenes. Madonna did a cover of this. I've heard Garth Brooks doing this years ago in concert at Central Park, but I prefer this and the original. I love that you always acknowledge Adam Rupp also. 🤗

[andrewkearley]

I'm constantly impressed by Tim's vocal range, absolutely mind blowing.

[Cindyannef]

First let me say that I've missed you. These guys killed this song, it couldn't have been done any more perfect than it was. Don McLean is now 75 yrs. old, and yet he's still got it!~ They not only did this video, but the song is suppose to be all over the radio airwaves throughout the whole U.S.A. starting today. This is the 50th. year Anniversary from the day it first hit the airwaves back in 1971.
