Joey Russ 7,118 Posted June 21, 2018 Bobbie Gentry is a country singer who’s best known song is Ode To Billie Joe. Hasn’t have a lot of info recently, but I felt like she needed a thread anyways... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted June 21, 2018 Whore. You, not her. Did you not read Spade's post? Of course you did. But you confirm the whoring of the teeny-bop crowd here. Thanks for making me right as rain. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,012 Posted June 21, 2018 I don't think Bobbie Gentry has appeared in public or given a single interview since Douglas Bader was still alive. I'm doubtful this thread will draw her out of the woodwork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However you could argue that someone with that much mystique is worthy of their own thread for pure speculation reasons and she is famous in her own right unlike many of the dying cancer moms who get their own threads.

Deathray 2,933 Posted June 21, 2018 I can't be the only one who is convinced Bobbie Gentry is singing he'll never bone ya not he'll never phone ya? Listened to it a dozen times and just can't hear phone ya for all my efforts, it makes more sense as well... Credit where credits due this obviously stuck in my head from a Peter Kay bit I saw on youtube.. (4:37) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,989 Posted June 21, 2018 As a reality check here 73 year Gentry has gathered a cult following amongst dad-rock types and serious sound hounds such that the likes of Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone play her stuff and marvel at the collision of gothic and country. The Delta Sweete album being particularly prized as - arguably - a masterpiece. There is a truly amazing book on 500 Albums You Won't Believe Until you Hear Them which discusses Delta Sweete in this regard. The point being - she lives in a gated community and does nothing in public but remains obitable, albeit with no sign she's a workable pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,800 Posted June 21, 2018 Oddly enough, something I read reminded me of Bobbie Gentry and sent me down the internet rabbit hole last week. I read all sorts of articles about her and learned a lot that I hadn't known. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,012 Posted February 19, 2023 For those who joined in the past five years: the joke here was that as Bobbie Gentry is a hermit, it was ridiculous starting a thread about her as there'd never be any updates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
