American Pie, Don McLean, 1971, :45

Wow! I've heard the title track. Everyone has heard the title track. But I didn't know McLean had such songwriting skill beyond the big hit. Apparently "Killing Me Softly" was written about him and his deadly songwriting chops. Just beautiful stuff. Favorite tracks: "American Pie," duh, and "Vincent," and "Everybody Loves Me, Baby."
