1.2k Views 14 Votes 9 Comments

Don McLean released his song “American Pie” in November of 1971. The lyrics speak of “the day the music died”. That date was February 3, 1959 when a small plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, three of popular music’s biggest stars, crashed in Iowa during a blizzard. Using that date as a starting point, the song focuses on the music and major events of the 1960s.
