I dunno. But i do know that Bobbie was way way better than you ever ever were were.. She stepped it out in front and gave us all we ever need. Can you do that? Don't think so.
I'm a french woman and Joe Dassin had making a cover from Bobbie Gentry...It was a good song for me..but Bobbie she's the greatest voice ,music and more. Bravo ❤
Good luck buying this box set now. The starting price of the used ones on ebay is 550 with sealed sets going as high as 1700. It sold well in 2018-2019 with over 15,000 box sets sold at about 100 bucks a piece.. Even with that much product produced prices are now simply staggering.
Every live rendition I’ve ever seen of her with this song seems more dynamic than the last. I’ve heard the song hundreds of times but I’m hanging on to every word regardless. Tremendous performer.
the woman is awesome. Unquestionably more important than many less talented and influential women in music that caught the promotion and publicity train and stayed on it long past time they should have disembarked. Time has only illuminated her importance. Notice the pacing of the lyrics against the tempo of the accompaniment. She is a singer who took note of the true greats, but brought her own personality and insight to the equation. The furthest thing from a "song stylist" - instead, a storyteller.
She needs to come back please I need you to do a concert in Jacksonville Florida plz I beg you Bobbie Gentry please I miss your music even if it’s only one last concert just for me
This is one of the most powerful song interpretations you will ever find. As far as storytellers go there's only one other performer who could match this kind of singer-songwriter performing their own songs excellence and that was Harry Chapin. Ms Bobbie is brilliant here.
