One of my favorite albums in the ‘60s was Bobbie Gentry singing duets with Glen Campbell. I still love it (but don’t have it any more).

It's MacAllister?
All this time I thought it was McAllister.
That puts everything in a whole different light.
Today's also Jefferson Davis's birthday. I had a great-aunt (who died in 1976) who was born on the day he died.

Thing is, that song is not that great.
At the time, I thought it was a great hot summer day's song...........and I still do.

Yeah. The movie bombed.
Whatever the back story of the song was supposed to be, it wasn’t that.

I've got a list of my all time favorite songs and this is one of them.........You just can't put them from 1 to whatever......they're all great in their own way.

Stafford quoted one time that she was bed bug crazy but then most women are.
...
It’s usually assumed and hardly worth mentioning, but if she was disillusioned with the music industry she can’t be all that nuts.

Got the big head, married some rich old codger, rejected her C&W roots claiming to be a Blues singer, never heard from again.
I call that smart.............

“Have to disagree. The haunting music fit right in with the disturbing lyrics.”
I agree with both of you about the poetic and haunting aspects of the song.
It has something.
But it’s always been a bit uncomfortable and a bit stilted.

But the more I forget the book, the better the song sounds.
A book, a movie, lots of folks tried to interpret her song but all it was was just a song.........LOL!

I remember her singing “Ode to Billie Joe” on Johnny Carson. She was shockingly good. She started singing and I forgot I was watching television, forgot about everything but her voice and her story. It was as though I was alone in a room with her.
