should put out my eyes
and leave me blind
I wouldn't be surprised"

#BobbieGentry stond in 1969 1 week op 1 in de UK met 'I'll never fall in love again'. Eén jaar eerder bereikte ze haar hoogtepunt met 'Ode to Billie Joe'. Dat evenaarde ze niet meer. Met deze song haalde ze toch nr 1 in de UK.

#2HitTuesdays That debut success made Bobbie Gentry a star… but it wasn’t her only #Top40 hit. In 1970, she reached the US #Top40 again with “Fancy,” a gritty tale of poverty, survival, & reinvention. Gentry wrote it and performed it with zero apology. #BobbieGentry #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
#2HitTuesdays Bobbie Gentry came out of nowhere in 1967 with her self-penned “Ode to Billie Joe,” a haunting Southern Gothic story-song that went to #1 on the #Billboard #Top40 and won her some GRAMMY hardware… but was it her only #Top40 hit? Nope! #BobbieGentry #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
