This great song was not on youtube so I had to put it up. This is THE BEST version of this song mostly due to the producers idea to put an awesome drum beat with a ride cymbal halfway through. Genius. The bass line thumps pretty hard too. And let's not forget the spectacular vocals of the first lady of country music, Tammy Wynette.

@blezaola I'm a
HUGE Nancy Wilson fan. The version I just heard from her was very Jazz. It felt joyful and "cool." That felt odd for this song.The first half I enjoyed. The rest was disturbingly disconnected from the song's story for this listener. I love Wilson as a story teller and vocalist, but this song and its treatment didn't work for this fan.

The best is Nancy Wilsons version. She kept the story telling style of the original but sings more colourfull than Bobby. Also Ray Charles Live version is better to than Bobby's.

@beerpongplayer1 Thank GOD almighty! Someone else gets it. All these nay-sayers.... Like my good friend, the former president of the local chapter of the Tammy Wynette fan club, used to say: Bobby Gentry wrote it. But Tammy lived it.

Nope. Doesn't work. Tammys voice does not suit the stark lyrics. Fail.

I love Tammy but the folks are right on this one. It's Bobbie Joe Gentry's song and that's all there is to it. Phrasing is so important especially in story songs. But then again, Bobbie probably wouldn't do 'Stand By Your Man' or 'Till I Get It Right' the way Tammy does either.

I'm sorry but while the drum beat ads an interesting touch it looses the eeriness and the gothic touch the Bobby Gentry version had. Half of the songs appeal, at least to me, is the haunting orchestral music that accompanied Gentry's voice and this song just doesn't have the same feel or impact as the original.

I just don't feel this song, like I do when Bobby Gentry sings it. Sorry Tammy, this song just wasn't meant for you. Sort of like Bobby singing D-I-V-O-R-C-E....
