Question: what is the story behind the song starry starry night?
Answer: "Vincent" is a song by Don McLean written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh. It is often erroneously titled after its opening refrain, "Starry Starry Night", a reference to Van Gogh's 1889 painting The Starry Night. ... McLean wrote the lyrics in 1971 after reading a book about the life of Van Gogh.
