Hello--I am fifty years old and often need to escape the 2014 world we live in. I stumbled into the Bobbie Gentry history and found your beautiful posting. This performance is priceless and superior to the version on her album. The subtle voice inflections and big band backup really make me appreciate the old school touch. She knew exactly what she was projecting using the perfect feminine touch. (There is a pleasant absence of hippie grunge). You have provided us with the best available performance of this song and I appreciate it very much (what a classic and beautiful piece of history). How could the BBC possibly have destroyed thirteen of the eighteen shows produced? I have been hoping to find her 1978 visit on the Tonight Show... . History is usually an accurate judge of real talent and elevates it to its proper standing. I hope one day she will be formally and appropriately recognized. Have a great day and thank you again.11 years ago
