45 RPMs 93: Martine Bijl & Don McLean ~ Vincent

  ~  
date & photographer unknown
     
 
Today is the birthday of artist, Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. To me, the song, Vincent by Don McLean, is the most evocative tribute to him I can imagine!

This is one of my Turkish Delights treasures (link below). The "A" side of the record is a bouncy Dutch song.        
 
side 1: 
 
Martine Bijl & Don McLean 45 RPM Even Wachten
 
 
The "B" side has the song written by Don McLean and that was a huge hit for him. It is a soothing, dreamy song written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh.
