It’s incredible that he is made so much money investing based on just one hit song. Hats off to him.
Well, let’s be fair, American Pie was not his only hit. There was VINCENT, his ode to the eccentric painter, Van Gogh, and there was his version of Roy Orbison’s hit, CRYING, all of these made the charts.
Of course he did not rest on his laurels, he continued to do sold out concerts worldwide for decades.
