Vincent by Don Mclean Background story Don McLean wrote Vincent in 1971 after reading a book about the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh. In the 1970s, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam played the song daily and a copy of the sheet music, together with a set of Van Gogh's paint brushes, is buried in a time capsule beneath the museum. The song itself was an even bigger international hit than American Pie. In 1972, it reached number 1 in the UK and number 12 in the USA. In recent years, the song has become even more well known thanks in part to Josh Groban's successful version and to the song being sung by contestants on high profile shows such as American Idol and BBC Fame Academy.
