Don McLean wrote “Vincent,” also known as “Starry, Starry Night,” in the fall of 1970 about Vincent van Gogh, who never sold a painting while he lived. His brother supported him, even after Vincent lost his mind.Van Gogh painted “Starry Night” during one of the most difficult periods of his life, while he was locked up in an asylum at Saint Remy. He had to paint the scene from memory,“Vincent” was a bigger international hit than “American Pie”. In 1972, it reached number 1 in the UK and number 12 in the USA.Whoever has made this video deserves both recognition and gratitude for selecting Vincent’s paintings that is so perfectly match by Don McLean’s lyrics that pay tribute to his genius! – AUTHOR UNKNOWN
