Don McLean's heartfelt declaration of love has been covered by many artists over the years - it speaks so clearly and honestly of the human condition that its truths aren't restricted to any single style. Bringing it into the harmonic world of contest barbershop raises the emotional temperature of the ballad, and the implicit contrasts of passion and reflection in the original become much more explicit.
