HERSHEY, Pa. When Dayshawn Carroll graduated from the Milton Hershey School in 2011, his goal of college seemed firmly within his grasp.

Today’s song was written by a woman named Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by Don “American Pie” McLean (CLIP) at a performance of his in late 1971. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart.
After decades of confirming Lieberman s contribution, two of her collaborators on the song, Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, changed their story about the song s origins and severely downplayed her role.
They even threatened Don McLean with a lawsuit in 2008, demanding he remove from his website a claim that he was the inspiration for today’s song, but McLean responded by showing them his own words confirming the inspiration, published in 1973.
