Composer, singer, guitar player. As fine as vocals and playing as you can get. What a genius.

Followed Don Mcclean from the 1970's - went to all his concerts near Philadelphia. He does not get anywhere near the credit he deserves for all the great music he has written, way beyond American Pie. He is a story teller of the old folk music type. Everyone forgets he worked with Pete Seeger, he had to be special to be able to do that. Remember he brought Perry Como back from the dead. He got robbed of the Grammy that went to Hotel California because his votes were split between Vincent and American Pie. Either one would if have won Grammy if the other was not in the running. One of our great american song writers. Belongs in some hall of fame

a voice that exudes all possible emotions...it bares everything you feel inside...what a voice, I love this song, I love Don..thanks folkman 123 for sharing this song

killing me softly with his voice....

One of my favourites, fell in love with Don and his music in the 70's, words , music, delivery, perfect, never tire of listening

Wow! What a great song. I was going to bed listening to this every night, on my Amz app. Didn't even realize it was the legendary Don McLean. Just a sweet song. They don't make em like that anymore.

Holy cow! I haven't heard this song in years and it takes me right back to my high school years when American Pie was "our song" when it came out our senior year . This particular song (Till tomorrow), was about a certain girl for me in college. Still feel it after all these years, so many great songs on that album. Thanks Don and thanks folkman for posting this.

just wonderful.... lyrics to die for.... he was the master and I think Dylan and a few others wanted to be like him, but failed.... DM was one of a kind

Ahhhhh yes. Don McLean speaks when he sings and sings when he speaks. Just beautiful.

No on is more amazing than Don. I could listen to him all day, every day for my entire life. I hope I can see him in concert someday!

yes...where has all the love gone? what has become of this world? if only we learn to live peacefully with one another then the rainbow will always be there to paint the sky thus signifying a beautiful world. lovers are meant to be lovers to bring inspiration and joy to this bleak world we live in. don's music is simply superb

Another beautiful song from a master of beautiful songs. I agree that Don's 2nd album, American Pie, is full of gems like this but I think his self titled 3rd album is his best even though it didn't have any top 10 hit song. It had several priceless gems like Oh My What a Shame and Winter Has Me in its Grip. To me they're his best work.

Great use of metaphor! "Where has all the love gone? And what have we become? Storm clouds full of thunder, move silent as they drum . . . " The tragic tale of domestic disputes disintegrating into passive-aggressive cold wars.

Such a great song, simple and sincere, thanks Don, I still remember seeing you for the first at the Albert Hall and more concerts in California and a conversation with you at the San Mateo County Fair, I still play along with your videos and perform your songs at performances

"Where has all the love gone, and what have we become?" A question that begs an answer now more than ever. A beautiful ballad by a wonderful artist.

I mean I could not possibly imagine such a depth and meaning in songs of American performers. Where has all this beauty gone?

I was priveleged to see Don in Melbourne (Australia) in maybe 2003. Awesome. Been a fan since 1977 in my dad's Datsun 260ZX...a eight track thingy. And 'Seals & Crofts' as well. In Australia at the time they were the only two 'tapes' available....well according to our local datsun dealer.

Yes, I live in the Los Angeles area, and have seen him at many of the small and intimate venues in California. If you ever get a chance to see him, you should do whatever you can to grab the opportunity. He carries on with the audience with grace and ease, which makes the music more personal. It is also interesting how time has changed the music just a little, and with age we become wiser, and look at the world through different eyes. The same eyes, but different in a more timeless sense.

The absolute beauty of his music is that as long as we know where to go, in solitude, and listen again with our hearts, we can relive the short moments, and hold their memories with us as long as we wish. The music will be here forever, however, we will not. I was told by a wonderful artist I know that we should listen to music we enjoy like it is the last time we will hear it. It's not easy because we take so much for granted. We really do, and the time we have today is so precious.....

This was such a surprise to find on the American Pie album, along with 'Winterwood', actually the whole album I played near to death. Brilliant, I have 3 cd's of Don, saw him live. Talent, class, star, never get tired of listening to this song, or his recordings.

I love his music fell in love back in the 70's also....still listening today!!

Not only is Don a great artist, he also has the best possible attitude about fame. A very cool dude.

I heard all of his song's from the first time my brother gave me an album in the 70's and just fell so in love with his music and if I could sing,,which I can not I would use a few on Americas got talent with a backdrop of the homeless ,,,,so want to meet him in person befor my time is up,,,getting old here

I'm one of those people who have, I only ever heard of American Pie before, and then one day Vincent came on the music channel, and I instantly recognised his voice, I went straight out and bought the CD and now I'm in love with Don Mclean.

Don McLean is the best his music is beautiful. I especially like "Castles in the air" , great voice and great guitar. Today I only have good things to say. I don't have anything negative to say about anyone. I'll just listen to Don McLean.

I have been a Paul Simon fan forever. I never thought that I could find someone who could rival his poetry, musicality, beauty and profoundness.. But I think I've found my next Paul Simon...

@MartinJohn90 True and completely overlooked as a vocalist. He has a voice that drills right through to your soul.

"Though I hope it won't rain, you will be mine." The way he sings that line

I love this song. I think I listened to this one more than any other song on the album.

I love don mclean .... he's a true poet...

"Till Tomorrow" What can this be, can you tell me? Would you like to discover why we're not free To be lovers I've been wanting to ask you Where has all the love gone And what have we become Storm clouds full of thunder Move silent as they drum And when they're gone we'll be fine, till tomorrow Though I hope it won't rain You will be mine And my sorrow Will take wings in the morning, High above the heavens A rainbow paints the sky White doves sing their songs of love I watch them as they fly And wonder what can this be Can you tell me Would you like to discover why we're not free To be lovers

Brilliantly haunting, and beautiful. It's wonderful how simple; it leaves you to fill in the meaning of the song for yourself. Thank you for posting.~

(his wife replying ) A big fan, "And I love her so", Castles in the Air, Vincent, American Pie,...beautiful.

This Beautiful song takes me to so many places. it's so lovely and real! Brilliant.

Don Mclean - his voice, his songs always touch my heart

I wish this video was of Don performing this live in the 70s. I'm sure he performed this live, and his live performances, especially in the early 70s, are even better than his recordings.

One of my favorites from the American Pie album. Love Don!

The early 1970s was a LONG time ago. Don Mclean (like the rest of us) has grown old. We tell our youth, "I wonder if you know that I never understood that although you said you'd go, until you did, I never thought you would."

This is another one of my fav songs

Elegant, perfect-rhyme poetry songwriter up there with Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, as well as a writer of unsurpassed sensitive and beautiful songs.

Short, simple and beautiful

One of his best, and that's saying something. I've heard that the big hit for Roberta Flack, 'Killing Me Softly with his Song' was inspired by one of his performances. I agree with most of the comments here.

Excellent as is with all of Don Mcleans music...................Excellent

Wow,can,t believe I heard this song again! Super happy! Thank you...

My God...I haven't heard that for years either! Thank you very much! folkman123!

One of his best songs

I love don mclean I like it till tomorow

I read in one of your comments you had seen Don Mclean many times, Im so jealous if he comes to England again I will be there thats for sure. He really is killing me softly with his songs.

Fantastic song. You don't hear things like this today. God bless Don!

one of my all-time favorites - thanks so much for posting, folkman

absolutely beautiful

The storms and sorrow of passion and love.

I love this song. It's beautifully mellow.

his songs are full of poetry put into music.. always a pleasure listening to his songs..takes you somewhere,where thoughts are companions of the imagination..

thank you for posting. one of my favorites

still love this song! its just nice hearing once awhile. btw, i really want to say Thx for having the time to upload all these wonderful songs of Don McLean

simple breathtaking.

i love this song ,i just thought of it tonight it took me back years !love it !

this is a masterpiece

A really great singer, saw him live.

what a sad song and also beautiful. it s enough to make me weep

Absolutely beautiful Very nice to post

Bam....35 years back in time with the same feelings and the emotions I had on that day

@gotchabye So true....great song, period....the product of the genius that is Don McLean. This is the stuff we need more of on youtube.

Superb !

magnificent.

@FabianBajorat There should be a special shrine for great music and great songs such as this....and so many more which were born in the heart and spirit of Don McLean.

You are correct in your thinking. Much like Orson Welles who made a masterpiece in his 20,s......I think Don Mclean went from a folk rock songwriter to a superstar. I mean he will almost surely never top the sales of american pie with any other song, even if it is a better constructed one. When asked what American Pie meant he once said "never having to work again unless I want too".

I Love This Song Danny

nice song!

Yes,where has IT gone? Too many hurting words and trying times should bring out the best in us,BUT...

Wow! Instant flashback...playing this in my first car; my whole adult life ahead of me.....

¡¡¡¡ que delicia !!!!! ... es una joyita de canción.

Till tomorrow 🎶💖

Thanks for that, I was just wondering [:

great poet

track 2 on 1971 album - american pie [don mclean].

very relaxing

a break up song that leaves both parties intact.

Linda Musica

Just fucking love this song, from my childhood - means so much to me. Really nice!!

Not fair. I love Don McLean AND Lady Gaga. But I agree, this is beautiful.

thank you. ive only got a greatest hits but im looking to get american pie and tapestry. Also is there any other albums by him you could reccomend. thanks

好聽!!!!! 空谷足音!!!

thankyou folkman123

Yep This song in particular is a keeper Last song recorded for the album btw

No way, did he write this too??!!!!!!

^ It's called "American Pie," not "The Day the Music Died."

My brother sold all my Don McLean albums for heroine; Oh, the irony. My brother is dead now, and he did say sorry for all that...

@hitchings7 Is, my dear, is :)

@1960sgirl1 Probably the last time I heard this song......

a great folk singer who was lost to the pop 40 American Pie and then John Denver overtook him

Can someone please tell me what album this is off.

Who is Barbara?

é verdade que ele é brasileiro?

@proideot I understand your sentiment but the wonder inspired devastation from you?

so beautiful... i honestly wish more people can understand the beauty of this type of music instead of Lady Gaga and that type of trash

I've got to say Ausysnake has it spot on......(bastardo).ha.never mind.gud'n
