Bobbie was really one of the first female recording artists to make sure she got her share of revenue.. She earned 3.5 million in royalties from Capitol Records 1967-1973 with her top tier contract.It became public record when musician Bobby Paris was court awarded 1% of her record royalties based on a verbal contract and she paid him a 35,000 judgement
Fantastic stuff. A great singer, and I agree her voice is very soothing! I bought the original 60's Vinyl of the Ode to Billy Joe album recently from Ebay. She's a real enigma, I suppose she didn't need the money and fame as badly as some other 60's stars. When she decided it was time, she just retired from music, with her dignity and mystery intact. God bless Miss Gentry!

Shes got a way of making everything feel 'all better' with the warm blanket of her voice.
I'm mesmerized.
Thank you for this post!

What a great treat seeing these clips. Was this from her B.B.C series or one of her American television specials?
