"American Pie" singer Don McLean has been belting out his classic for the last 50 years. McLean recently spoke to Fox News Digital, and shared the compliment he received from country music legend Garth Brooks, who is featured in a new documentary "The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don McLean’s ‘American Pie.'" The project, which premieres on Paramount+ Tuesday, focuses on McLean and his verse "the day the music died." "He said it's probably one of the greatest songs in music history," McLean shared. "And he says a lot of wonderful things in the movie.

He feels the song in some way is a parallel to his career and his life in music that somehow the song brought him into that."

"And so each verse of ‘American Pie’ adds another layer of the story that happened on that day that the music died.
It's all poetic, really. It's not prose, you know, it's meant to be taken in metaphorical terms.
