A poem was written by folk singer Lori Lieberman after she saw McLean perform "Empty Chairs" and other songs. It was reworked by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel into the song Flack recorded two years later.

Pretty sure he had a song named Starry Night. You might be leveling us though.

Ironically, Don McLean's Vincent was about Van Gogh.

You have to mention Harry Chapin in a thread about musical stories. Cat's in the Cradle being the obvious choice but Taxi is probably his best.

Honorable mention would be Alice's Restuarant although that's more of a story then a song.

"Hannibal" by Miles Davis on "Live Around the World" CD was his final performance only a couple weeks before he died. Song sounds a bit eerie and ominous, sort of like Miles knew his time was just about up.
