Even if they did, she wouldn't show up. Bobbie Gentry hasn't made a public appearance or granted an interview since 1982. She out-Garboed Garbo. Posted by Bookhouse on Saturday, 01/21/2023 @ 13:57pm |
Though it might be a long shot, but Bobbie Gentry deserves her place in the rock hall. She's someone I often refer as "the godmother of Americana". She's an endless influence to so many artists of the genre because of how she fused together pop, rock, country, blues, soul, funk, and jazz into her work, which made her hard to categorize despite being labeled as "country".
