Our favourite music
Don McClean’s song Vincent - popularly called Starry, starry night - was top of the UK charts way back in 1972. We first heard it on the car radio as we travelled back home from a late-night party. I can vividly remember the occasion - the empty motorway and the cloudless starlit sky. Seldom does one hear a song in which the words so powerfully tell a story and convey a message. To discover how well it does so, it is worth reading the article on Vincent (the song) on Wikipedia.
