Also in 1970 she received recognition for her composition "Fancy", which rose to No. 26 on the U.S. Country charts and No. 31 on the pop charts. Gentry's personal view on the song:

"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.

I received a Bobbie Gentry doll for Christmas one year. Mother said it was either her or Mama Cass Elliott as they were both on clearance.

His shows were consistently entertaining. These days, my television stays in the basement.

At least there is this:

I read “Ode to Billy Joe” as a teenager. It was a very disturbing story.

They just opened one close to our house, there was a huge line waiting before the doors opened on their opening day.

She is rich....

The business savvy lady from Chickasaw County, Mississippi, who maintained partial ownership of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, was astounded to learn that a fellow singer-songwriter could have such a nefarious recording and publishing contract that yielded paltry royalty checks to boot. Gentry advised Stafford to ditch his greedy handlers and start afresh.

Next month they’re starting construction on a new one on I-10 in Katy west of Houston, and of course the one in Baton Rouge that’s supposed to open early next year.
