![Bobbie Gentry -- Ode To Billie Joe [REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/g8PPWWZdWxY/mqdefault.jpg)
This was SUCH a sad song - heard it a million times growing up - and is just as relevant today with the epidemic of suicide among young people - who often feel unheard by their families --
Bobby Gentry is an American singer-songwriter who was one of the first female artists to compose & produce her own material. A lot of her songs were stories. Her biggest hit was in 1967 with "Ode To Billy Joe". Other songs are "Mississippi Delta", "Fancy", "Louisiana Man", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "Sunday Mornin" (with Glen Campbell) etc.
Excellent song . One thing I like is the contrast between the smooth , relaxed musical arrangement and singing - and the tragic , eerie events while the other family members just go on with their meal .
If you've ever heard Reba do the song Fancy, which was a huge hit for her, Bobby Gentry was the writer and original singer of that song.
You found a gem.
Huge, gigantic hit, summer of 1967.
Thank you heard it a zillion times but you put a spin on it I never heard it is art she is lovely
A great artists. I have heard this song many times. 🖖❤
Thanks, Ace! I'm glad you chose this video... Bobby was amazing and the song is haunting... others can give you a little background... but what a story-teller! Love your reactions...
A real gem 💎 ❤
this song, acccording to Bobby, is a study in cruelty, the way the rest of the family just didn't care that the daughter really cared about the boy who died.
This is an absolute masterpiece.
When this song came out, it's "disturbing" lyrics had a lot of people trying to figure out the mystery of what was thrown off the bridge and why Billy Joe had killed himself. Bobby Gentry was absolutly amazing.
Yes she is gorgeous. Love her tone of her voice.
For me, the word is foreboding. The strings and the introduction of the cello is certainly smooth, but it builds up to the revelation about Billy Joe jumping off the bridge.
The string section makes the tune for me. And yes...she is beautiful!
Beautiful woman! ❤️😁
It was the inspiration for Tom T Hall's Harper Valley PTA, IIRC.
You're right, she was gorgeous. And she had enormous talent beyond.
There's actually not much to dive into her, as a solo artist. But, she was an extremely prolific song writer. She wrote many songs that became major hits for other artists.
new subscriber from Canada ❤
Thank you so much 😄😄😄
Now that you've reacted to it, I would suggest listening to it on your own time, and paying attention to what's being sung. It might leave you going "Hmm...." ------ Peace to you.
This song is not “peaceful”, to quote his word
🔥❤️🔥
One of the best story tellers, great song, check out Johnny Winter Highway 61 Revisited from Johnny Winter Captured Live please
Yes!!! Love the Winter brothers!
American classic.
Great classic
Reminds me of my mom she listened to Bobby Gentry...
Bobbie Gentry paints the picture so well.
Knew she was gorgeous over fifty years ago
True.
They made a movie 🎬 from this song.released 1976.
They took a lot of artistic liberties with the plot.
bravoBello 🫀
when ey was 6 years
old my favoryte song was:
Who Will Answer
by Ed Ames
(my parents were shook)
💀🌿🫀
This is Southern Gothic. At the moment I can only think of Delta Dawn and Angie Baby, both sung by Helen Reddy. I know there are more but I'm too tired to name them right now.
Ace, as someone said, I suggest listening to this again in your own time...While the music and vibe is peaceful, the lyrics are about a young guy whom committed suicide! I was waiting for you to talk about the storyline/ lyrics, but you didn't. Every other reactor that's done this has been taken back by the story in this song
A couple other great songs by Bobby Gentry are Son of a Preacher Man and Fancy
She's a legend.
This channel is addictive. It should be illegal 🤣
I am glad you enjoy the channel. 😄😄😄
Great job on pronunciation.
This is pure country, not folk, Bobbie Gentry was telling a story just like nany southerners before her. This was a great dong with a Haunting melody from 1967
Bro this was water cooler dinner table talk over the whole country. What was this about. Everyone was trying to know the truth. It was just like who shot JR? But I'm dating myself. Anyway America cried over a possible tragedy for her and Billy Joe.
This song is about SUICIDE💔 Take that into consideration...
I want to marry you
It was hit pop song. You heard twice that Billie Joe jumped off a bridge. That’s not about peace. The piece of work is you.
More country than folk but listen to the lyrics. I think you missed this one.
Did you even think to comment or speculate on the content of the song?
I noticed you have a few trolls. My advice to the troll is: GET A LIFE or make your own videos
