Bio

Bobbie Gentry is an American singer-songwriter born Roberta Lee Streeter on July 27, 1942, in Chickasaw County, Mississippi. She rose to fame in 1967 with her self-penned hit "Ode to Billie Joe," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her three Grammy Awards. Gentry is known for her narrative songwriting style and blending of country, pop, and Southern gothic elements. She continued releasing albums through the 1970s before largely withdrawing from public life.
