The song became a No. 1 single in the United States, and was voted one of the Top 5 Songs of the Century in a poll by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America. An in-demand touring artists since the 1970s, McLean has brought his talents to audiences worldwide, with a record-breaking European tour in 2015.
