December 16, 1971 –
Don McLean’s eight-minute-plus version of American Pie was released and became one of the longest songs to ever hit the pop charts
If you prefer the clip with Don singing in it, here you go.
Kids, use the song as the Cliff Notes (Shmoop, if you prefer) for what happened during the 60s (do they still print Cliff Notes?)
