Don McLean (born October 2nd, 1945 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer-songwriter. He is most famous for his 1971 ballad American Pie. Don McLean graduated from Iona Preparatory School in 1963 but dropped out of Villanova University (not Iona College) before getting a degree. He was a popular folk singer at campus events.

With the help of a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, he began reaching a wider public, with visits to towns up and down the Hudson River. He learned the art of performing from his friend and mentor Pete Seeger. Don McLean accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater boat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest environmental pollution in the river. The Clearwater campaign was widely credited for improving water quality in the Hudson River. As of 2006, Don McLean continues to tour extensively both in the U.S. and Europe. His new album Addicted to Black is due out later this year, along with his biography Killing Us Softly: The Don McLean Story.
