a great song about unconcious cruelty. none of them realized he and the daughter were in a relationship while they just talked crap about him and his death like he was nothing.

I remember when it released in 1967. I was in the back of my fathers 1963 Chevrolet station wagon (3-speed on the column) as he drove us to boys club football practice when the song completely removed me from my surroundings as it played on the car radio. Funny the things you remember. Ode to Billy Joe found air play across multiple genres, Rythym and Blues, Country, and Rock-N-Roll. It only took 5 weeks to chart to the top of The Billboards Pop Single Chart. The song was nominated for 8 Grammys and took 3 between Bobby Gentry and arranger Jimmie Haskell. Ode To Billy Joe made The Rolling Stones list ""500 Greatest Songs Of All Time". I never grow tired of listening to it, 57 years later and counting! Great reaction, TY.

I think it fits more into the folk category. which is close to blues and country . lines get blurred

So I felt led to tell you this story, I spent hours preparing a Bible lesson for a Wednesday night service years ago, and I only had three people show up. I had prepared a power point presentation and hauled the projector out and everything. I was so discouraged. I felt like quitting, but I have been in ministry now for 20 years. I still feel discouraged, but God has been faithful to build His kingdom. I know it's difficult when people don't flock to truth, but will listen to a reaction like this. But keep going, it is after all for His Fame, not yours. God bless

Bobbie Gentry lies in an area where country meets the blues.

@blastingweevil2968 Месяц назад

the song is about how numb we have become to death and it seems like it just a matter of fact.. no one realise the Girl in the Song is upset that her secret Boyfriend has died....

Her delivery of this story is phenomenal. Great reaction

This song was released in 1967. Max Baer Jr. who played Jethro on The Beverley Hillbillies directed and produced a movie about the song that was released in 1976. The song also resurfaced in 1976 and became a hit again around the time the movie came out. I remember having to go with my sister to watch that movie in the Summer of 1976 at the local Drive-In theater that has long been shut down. You neeed to watch the movie. It has the same name as the song.

Bobbie was absolutely fearless. She will throw God in your face and not look back. "Don't be like this, no matter your excuse" was her mantra.

It's about a suicide(Billy Joe) and about the callous insensitivity of the family gathered around the dinner table talking about it and not noticing how deeply the teenage girl(the narrator/singer) is suffering from the shocking news of Billy Joe's suicide and her family's casual discussion of it.

There's a movie with the same title as the song. Glynnis O'Connor, and Robbie Benson are the main actors.

@user-qj6fk9px8l Месяц назад

Lots of folks want to guess it was an newborn baby------- but that doesn't make as much sense as other things. *HERE ARE MY REASONS: 1)AS THIS CHANNEL SUPPORTS, THE FAMILY'S VERY SOUTHERN TRADITIONAL RELIGOUS & "MOMMA" WOULD HAVE KNOWN IF SHE HAD BEEN PREGNANT!!!!!* 2) I got the impression that they were VERY SECRET as being Boyfriend-Girlfriend, early courtship stages "others" would have known if he was porking her. 3) No all-the-way relationship in a Baptist or Methodist family in Mississippi in the 1960s without Daddy planning to have a shotgun wedding if they did it..

@JoeCruz-hs2yt Месяц назад

it's country pop that crossover into the pop charts no. 1 i think this song is about billy joe committing suicide jumping off the bridge there's a movie about this song !

@russelljudkins3314 12 дней назад

The song was made into a movie about Billy joe jumping off the bridge

@creinicke1000 Месяц назад

To me it's about how people separate themselves from others pain.. and life goes on..

Bobby Gentry was definitely a country singer and that was definitely a country song. Captions on the video even mentioned that she was one of the first country singers to write and produce her own material. And Bobby, in countless interviews, said the point of the song was that the girl's family was being unintentionally cruel, eating dinner and making thoughtless comments about Billy Joe without realizing that she was his girlfriend and was crushed by his death. The song became so popular that the story was told in a movie three years later.

@rickroden7666 23 дня назад

Why would he commit suicide? either she could have been pregnant, or he may have been a different race, and they loved each other. I would think it would be a lot worse than race. most likely she would have been pregnant. When I was 16 I got preg by a native American man who I loved. my parents drove me to another state to have the baby, and they set up adoption papers, I was so shocked, so devastated I almost didn't survive. They didn't want their reputation tarnished. My baby found me after he grew up. I was so happy.

Gentry quit performing in the early 80's and just disappeared from public life. If you Google her it seems no one even knows where she lives.

Ode To Billy Joe is a true story that happened to a black 13 year old. Billy Joe is based on that teenage boy

@warrenburlingame1172 Месяц назад

I think they were throwing they're baby off the bridge

@marcusjaybrode2129 Месяц назад

That’s a popular guess, but it doesn’t make sense. The woman works all day every day, chopping cotton and baling hay. No way could she do that while pregnant, have a baby, and recover without her family knowing.

@megdelaney3677 Месяц назад

I think they were hiding a pregnancy. She had an early stillbirth & they both threw it in the river. Billy Joe couldn't live with it & later jumped.

@Shabenn Месяц назад

There was no cruelty here. The times that this song is set in didn't afford them the opportunity to have a nervous breakdown about it and sit and grieve for months. Their daily survival depended on their chores. Papa thought he was a silly kid who probably did something ignorant, mama was sad,who knows what the daughters relationship with him was and brother recounted genuine fond memories of him. It always seemed to me like she answered the question of what was thrown off the bridge at the end of the song. But Bobbie Gentry brought up the unconscious cruelty thing herself and it stuck. It was a different time. People like that didn't have the luxury of falling apart about it.

@marionotto4902 15 дней назад

It is most certainly about unconscious cruelty. Bobby Gentry described the song this way.

@Shabenn 15 дней назад

@@marionotto4902 Yeah, I mentioned that in my comment.

@marionotto4902 15 дней назад

@Shabenn she wrote the song, so I think she knew what she meant. When you say "it stuck," it suggests that the song's meaning is derived from popular opinion. Your comment is mansplaining the meaning of the song to the songwriter.

@Shabenn 15 дней назад

@@marionotto4902 Mansplaining? You are truly funny! I'm not one of your trans friends. It did stick, it's all you know about it. I pay attention to how they lived and what kind of people they were. None of them said anything particularly cruel, even the father who, like I said before, probably thought the kid did some kid like dumb thing and got himself k*lied. In reality, it isn't that big a deal. I just see it from a different perspective.

@marionotto4902 15 дней назад

@Shabenn who are you talking about? You pay attention to what exactly? It's a song written by Ms. Gentry. You couldn't know the people she was singing about. I know you're not my trans friend, you're my incel friend.
