Don McLean
On Tour
1,911,335 plays (287,033 listeners)
Early in his career, McLean was mentored by the folk legend Pete Seeger, and accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater boat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest at environmental pollution in the river. The Clearwater campaign was widely credited for improving water quality in the Hudson River.
In 1980, McLean had an international number one hit with the Roy Orbison classic, “Crying”. Only following the record’s success overseas was it released in the U.S., becoming a top-ten hit in 1981. Orbison himself once described McLean as “the voice of the century”, and a subsequent re-recording of the song saw Orbison incorporate elements of McLean’s version.
In 1991, McLean returned to the U.K. top ten with a re-issue of “American Pie”, which nine years later became a worldwide smash all over again thanks to Madonna’s controversial cover.
