Gentry rose to international fame with her intriguing Southern Gothic narrative "Ode to Billie Joe" in 1967. [1] The track spent four weeks as the No. 1 pop song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was fourth in the Billboard year-end chart of 1967 [2] and earned her Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1968. The album's second single, "I Saw an Angel Die", did not chart.
Following the success of her debut single and album, Gentry's second studio album, The Delta Sweete , was released in February 1968. It did not reach the same level of commercial success as her first album. The two US singles, "Okolona River Bottom Band" and "Louisiana Man", peaked at No. 54 and No. 100, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100 . "Big Boss Man" was released as a single in France and did not chart.
Local Gentry , her third studio album, was released a short six months later in August 1968. Two singles were released from this album, "Sweete Peony" and "The Fool on the Hill", neither of which charted.
In September 1968, Gentry was paired with Glen Campbell and the duo released a collaboration album, Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell . The album spawned two singles, "Mornin' Glory" and "Let It Be Me".
Gentry's fifth studio album Touch 'Em with Love was released in July 1969. "Touch 'Em with Love" was released as the first single and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" was released as the second single in Europe.
Fancy , Gentry's sixth studio album, was released in April 1970. The album's first single, "Fancy", peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 26 on the Top Country Songs chart. There additional singles were released from the album, "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", "He Made a Woman Out of Me", and "If You Gotta Make a Fool Out of Somebody".
In April 1971, Gentry released her seventh studio album, Patchwork , which would become her final album. Two singles were released from the album, "But I Can't Get Back" and "Somebody Like Me".

Bobbie Gentry is a retired American singer-songwriter. She was one of the first female artists in America to compose and produce her own material.
"Ode to Billie Joe" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry released by Capitol Records in July 1967, and later used as the title-track of her debut album. Five weeks after its release, the song topped Billboard's Pop singles chart. It also appeared in the top 10 of the Adult Contemporary and Hot R&B singles charts, and in the top 20 of the Hot Country Songs list.
American girl group The Supremes have released 29 studio albums, four live albums, two soundtrack albums, 32 compilation albums, four box sets, 66 singles and three promotional singles. The Supremes are the most successful American group of all time, and the 26th greatest artist of all time on the US Billboard charts; with 12 number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and three number-one albums on the Billboard 200. The Supremes were the first artist to accumulate five consecutive number-one singles on the US Hot 100 and the first female group to top the Billboard 200 albums chart with The Supremes A' Go-Go (1966). In 2017, Billboard ranked The Supremes as the number-one girl group of all time, publishing, 'although there have been many girl group smashes in the decades since the Supremes ruled the Billboard charts, no collective has yet to challenge their, for lack of a better word, supremacy.' In 2019, the UK Official Charts Company placed 7 Supremes songs—"You Can't Hurry Love" (16), "Baby Love" (23), "Stop! In the Name of Love" (56), "Where Did Our Love Go?" (59), "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (78), "Come See About Me" (94) and "Stoned Love" (99)—on The Official Top 100 Motown songs of the Millennium chart, which ranks Motown releases by their all-time UK downloads and streams.
