On this day in 1972, American Pie started a 4 week run at number 1 on the US Billboard singles chart. On today's episode you'll hear from Don McLean himself talking about the background to the song and whether he ever thought the song, at over 8 and a half minutes in length, was too long!
To hear the full interview I did with Don check out Episode 56 of Vintage Rock Pod!
