Three stars died. One paperboy froze. On February 3, 1959, a plane crash in Iowa took Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper — and 13-year-old paperboy Don McLean never forgot the headline.

This is the story behind the song. #AmericanPie #DonMcLean #BuddyHolly #TheDayTheMusicDied #70sMusic #ClassicRock #SongStories #BehindTheSong #MusicFacts #Number
