Re: 10 Best Bobbie Gentry Songs
Was never really a lover of Gentry, Ode To Billy Joe was probably the only song that I ever listened to of her's..Later when I started listening to Country and Blue Grass she never really came on to my radar. She was also into soul which you can hear in some of her songs which I have listened to this morning.
It seems she was her own lady and had her own agenda to get on in life. No body was ever gonna tie her down 3 marriages which were virtually all one night stands.
Good for her.

Re: 10 Best Bobbie Gentry Songs
Fancy was written and recorded by Bobbie Gentry in 1969. The song depicts its heroine overcoming poverty to become a successful courtesan.Gentry views the song as a feminist statement:
“"Fancy" is my strongest statement for women's lib, if you really listen to it. I agree wholeheartedly with that movement and all the serious issues that they stand for — equality, equal pay, day care centers, and abortion rights."
Personally, I don't think the lyrics, about depending upon the favours of men for you existence, are particularly feminist, but it's a good song.
