BOBBY GENTRY ! Something about this girl moved me. I wanted to bang her S bad as I wanted to bang Stevie Nick's. She was just so cool about doing her thing.. She sounds nothing like this completely different tempo completely different sound.

Bobbie Gentry is/was an awesome superhuman talent. Sang, wrote, produced, played, choreographed, designed her costumes, if you told me she could perform brain surgery while flying a 747 it wouldn't surprise me. She produced her own material from the beginning but they wouldn't credit a girl in those daze.
Did you know she recorded in Japanese and competed in an Italian singing contest, had her own TV show on BBC and majored in Philosophy...
Most impressively when she was at her peak and could have written her own contract for literally any kind of medium --- she just walked away and never came back.
Fun fact: OTBJ was just a demo, in the can with a bunch of other songs played one-take live in the studio, that they put strings on and put out as a single. Cheapest production EVAH. And it knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot.
Ya, what a women! God I had a thing for her. Married a girl that looked alot like her. The girl I married had a mean streak in her though. No substitute for Bobbie. Good news I am weeks away from freedom. I wonder what happened to Bobbie? Can you imagine hearing her sing all day around the house. Pure heaven!
