I've adored this song for forever. They made a movie out of it at some point (called "Ode To Billie Joe") but I refuse to watch the movie because I don't want my visions of the song ruined.
I use the words 'best' and 'favorite' a lot -- but this song truly is, THE best song I've ever heard -- musically, poetically, lyrically, and Gentry's performance. I first heard it as a young child and I wold listen to it over and over and over. A rather morbid song for a young child but ( "the day Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" but) - wow. Amazing to my ears still. :) I'm glad you liked it. :)
