Three Hundred Twentieth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Bobbie Gentry
Roberta Lee Streeter (born July 27, 1944, Chickasaw County, Mississippi), is professionally known as Bobbie Gentry. She chose the stage name "Bobbie Gentry" from the film Ruby Gentry and began performing at local country clubs. Encouraged by Bob Hope, she performed in a revue of Les Folies Bergeres nightclub of Las Vegas.
Gentry married casino entrepreneur Bill Harrah in Reno, Nevada, but the marriage lasted only briefly. In 1979, Gentry married singer-songwriter Jim Stafford. Their marriage lasted 11 months. Gentry had one son with Stafford by the name of Tyler.
In 1967, Gentry produced her first single, "Mississippi Delta"/"Ode to Billie Joe", detailing the suicide of Billie Joe McAllister, who flings himself off the Tallahatchie Bridge. The track topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in August 1967 and placed #4 in the year-end chart. The single sold over three million copies and The Rolling Stone listed it among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2001.
In 1970 she received recognition for her composition, "Fancy," which rose to #26 on the U.S. Country charts and #31 on the pop charts.
Her last public appearance as a performer was on Christmas Night 1978 as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. After that, she settled in Los Angeles and remained out of public life.
The same holds true for this small bison tube here in the Reilly Springs Cemetery. It's intentionally trying to remain out of the public sight. See if you can help it maintain that anonymity. And here's another friendly reminder: they don't make 
that small, so bring your own.
