Page "Don McLean" Paragraph 7

McLean's major break came when Mediarts was taken over by United Artists Records thus securing for his second album, American Pie, the promotion of a major label.

The album spawned two No. 1 hits in the title song and " Vincent ".

American Pies success made McLean an international star and piqued interest in his first album, which charted more than two years after its initial release.
