Crying (Don McLean song)

Don McLean's recording of the song went to No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981.[11] His version of "Crying" also reached No. 2 adult contemporary and No. 6 Country. It fared even better in the UK, where it reached No. 1 in 1980, spending three weeks atop the UK Singles Chart.[12] McLean issued an album in 1981; however, "Crying" was taken from his 1978 album, Chain Lightning. It became his second biggest hit in America.
