"Vincent" is a song by #DonMcLean, written as a tribute to #VincentVanGogh. Its commonly known opening lyric, "#StarryStarryNight", is a reference to Van Gogh's 1889 painting #TheStarryNight. McLean wrote the lyrics in 1970 after reading a book about the life of Van Gogh. It was released on McLean's 1971 #AmericanPie album; the following year, the song topped the #UKSinglesChart for two weeks, and peaked at No. 12 in the United States.
