Bobbie Gentry hit the top of the charts in 1967 with the amazing story song, Ode To Billie Joe. That song garnered Bobbie Gentry a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1967.
In keeping with the Story Songs Special this week on the show, the Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing Bobbie Gentry, in a live performance on the Smothers Brothers TV show of Ode To Billie Joe. It's our Story Song of the Week.
Enjoy!
