"Congratulations Alan on capturing Don's life so well - a fabulous read - I highly recommend this excellent book to all - fans and just the curious - you won't be disappointed." Bob Gregg.
"...Alan Howard did a terrific job in not just sharing Don's story, but revealing a personal side of Don rarely seen by the public." Jim Monaghan, WDHA radio, N.J.
Don McLean is one of America’s most enduring singer-songwriters and is forever associated with his classic hits ‘American Pie’ and ‘Vincent (Starry Starry Night)’. Since first hitting the charts in 1971, Don has amassed over 40 gold and platinum records world-wide and, in 2004, was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. His songs have been recorded by artists from every musical genre, most notably Madonna’s No. 1 recording of ‘American Pie’ in 2000 and George Michael’s version of ‘The Grave’ in 2003, sung in protest at the Iraq War. Don McLean is immortalized as the subject of the Roberta Flack/The Fugees No. 1 hit, ' Killing Me Softly With His Song'.
For the first time, Don McLean shares his story in his biography, The Don McLean Story: Killing Us Softly With His Songs by Alan Howard.
