Bobbie Gentry or Dusty Springfield?

love em both grew up listening to that stuff....you may want to checkout delta sweetie by mercury rev fantastic hears some info:
A tribute to Bobbie Gentry's 1968 gem The Delta Sweete that features an amazingly talented group of vocalists: Hope Sandoval, Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams, Beth Orton, Vashti Bunyan, Carice van Houten from Game of Thrones, and more. Bobbie Gentry was an American singer-songwriter and one of the first female artists to compose and produce her own material. 'Ode to Billie Joe' was Bobbie Gentry's 1967 debut as a singer-songwriter and a Number One single for three weeks in the late Summer of Love.

@bdp24 : I’ve never been into either one of them but I completely get what you’re saying.

Off topic but I do like Jack White's cover of Dusty Springfield's  "I Don't Know What to Do With Myself" written by Burt Bacharach.

@n80, if you're interested enough, give a listen to Dusty In Memphis, considered her best album. Prior to that, she, like almost all Pop singers, was a "singles" artist, not an album one. Her voice has a subtle, exquisite quality of heartbreak and longing. She's one of my five or so favorite female singers of all time.

@pehare  I’ve been enjoying the MV album.
