Bobbie Jo Gentry and I have one item in common. She wants to be left alone and not bothered. I don't want to bother her, nor do I have the time and desire to look for her. 'Sides, I still working on who was Jack the Ripper, where's Jimmy Hoffa, what happened to and where is J.B. Cooper and the hijacked money and if I've enough time, solve the Judge Crater mystery. I've already solved the JFK assassination to my satisfaction. So au revoir Bobbie Jo Gentry. 😊
Go ahead, make fun of me if you must but I consider myself a psychic. I kept getting a strong message throughout this video that Ms. Gentry had an illness that she did not want to disclose, I feel it was something gastrointestinal. She was a stunning woman. I still listen to the song Ode every once in a while, her voice is beautiful and unique. I hope she had/has a beautiful life.
Bobbie Gentry was certainly an odd duck. She was recently behind the re-issue of her expanded album "Delta Sweete". A multi-CD compilation of her recordings was released in the U.K. a couple of years ago. She seems to be catering to her fans in the E.U. rather than her U.S. fans. The "Delta Sweete" album included an mp3 download version but it was pulled from the LP's sent to North America. Besides the rerecorded version of, and it's "Ode To Billie Joe" , for the Max "Jethro" Baer, Jr. directed Warner Bros. movie, her last real single was "Apartment 21", which barely scratched the surface of popularity. A good excuse for fading from the scene. I would say that she was a bit temperamental with walking away from one of the richest men in the world and walking away from one of the most talented musicians. With her re-issue of "Delta Sweete", if someone said something she didn't like, she flew off the handle. She is not one who plays well with others.
Bobbie Gentry may be still writing songs under a pin name or she may have made enough money to where she didn’t have to work anymore or she may have married somebody that had a bunch of money happy new year
Why would I subscribe when you didn’t answer the question.
I'll tell you, Bobbie is married and lives a quiet life in Memphis.
I always loved her hair!
After all that time, there was no mention of where she is now.
It's Nobody's business but her own. All's hope she's living her own life happily.
Yes, you are so right to observe this commission. A long introduction without a climax is very unsatisfactory!
I still have the Bobby Gentry vinyl LP that I got for Christmas when I was still in high school.
Bobbie Gentry was a great singer She was the best
One of the best
Answer: We don't know. There, saved you 12 minutes.
May she rest in peace 😔
Two questions: 1) Why do you call her first hit, "Ode"? It was "Ode to Billie Joe". 2) What’s with the photos of Dolly Parton?
It’s Ode to Billie Joe- not Ode as mentioned numerous times.
she is very very beautiful. Is very easy on the eyes.
She's alive. 80 years old now.
Why are they showing Dolly Parton and Adele?
Other parts aren't true either

Nope, you're wrong
Some of the facts here don't jibe with other sources.
Answer the question
Why are you showing a pic of Dolly Parton?
What's with the pics of Dolly?
I know.

Married 3 times, never for more than one year.
@@hyzercreek Yup. Exactly. In terms of self-evaluation, it might make a person realize where the problem lays!
Narrator is loud & grating
Bobbie Gentry may be still writing songs under a pin name or she may have made enough money to where she didn’t have to work anymore or she may have married somebody that had a bunch of money happy new year
She's never been married very long, I always heard she was not really into Men,
Her n Glenn Campbell were a couple and he is the father of her child .
What a train wreck his life became. Sad.
I thought she was married to Jim Stanford?
@@horsewomn - She was for one year then married bill Harrah then in 76 to Thomas r Toutant
That's not true.
Never knew that! I knew Glen's wife didn't like her but thought she was just suspicious and jealous of Bobby
Horrible dramatic narration.
What a writers crap. Stop labels. She a strong woman. Push you aside. Great woman.
If she's happy with it I am.
