#BobbieGentry stond in 1967 1 week op 1 in Canada met 'Ode to Billie Joe'. Het is het verhaal van de zelfdoding van Billie Joe (21) en de onverschilligheid daarover van de familie van het meisje met wie hij een relatie had.

Many people know Reba's version, which, much respect to Reba, my queen of 80s country, but I think the stripped back country-funk original is my favorite.
