That dream died for me when I saw "Showgirls" (a film I admit I've watched repeatedly)<br /><br />No need to do a Bobbie Gentry search, my cousin Carl has done the work for us (although wikipedia is often full of misinformation, this sounds close to what I'd heard a few years back when Holly George-Warren did the liner notes for a collection of her work). <br /><br />Jill Sobule, who frequently seems to read my mind, came up with this: http://bit.ly/4VOi1Mamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330763519601938989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345837331344524410.post-60839300036155979842010-01-03T02:18:22.458+01:002010-01-03T02:18:22.458+01:00From Wikipedia:
Roberta Lee Streeter (born July 2...From Wikipedia:<br /><br />Roberta Lee Streeter (born July 27, 1944), professionally known as Bobbie Gentry, is a retired American singer-songwriter notable as one of the first female country artists to write and produce her own material.[1] Her songs typically drew on her Mississippi roots to compose vignettes of the Southern United States.<br /><br />Gentry shot to international fame with her intriguing Southern Gothic narrative "Ode to Billie Joe" in 1967. The track was fourth in the Billboard year-end chart of 1967[2] and earned her the Grammy awards for the Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1968. Gentry charted nine singles in Billboard Hot 100 and four singles in the United Kingdom Top 40.[3] Her album Fancy brought her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. After her first albums, she turned towards variety shows. After a successful run on the Las Vegas Strip in the late 1970s, she lost interest in performing and has since lived privately in Los Angeles.<br />----------<br />By the way, second marriage was to Jim Stafford, who recorded the classic "I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes" in the mid-70's.

While we wish you well, we also wish you another route to happiness and success. Although, having said that, I must admit I've never set foot in Las Vegas.

Now I better go do a search on "Bobbie Gentry"!<br /><br />thanks Bob - but the more I think about it (and Eric found it appealing too), the more the hood/dark corner idea sounds very cool. <br /><br />Anthony you've given me two more reasons to put off not doing my resolutions.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330763519601938989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345837331344524410.post-87358916089966483752010-01-02T05:58:54.301+01:002010-01-02T05:58:54.301+01:00Well.
