Bobbie Gentry
Bobbie Gentry er kunstnernavn for Roberta Lee Streeter (født 27. juli 1944), som er en amerikansk tidligere singer-songwriter, der var en af de første kvindelige countrymusikere, der skrev og producerede sine egne indspilninger. Hun fik et stort gennembrud med sangen "Ode to Billie Joe" i 1967, idet sangen blev den fjerdemest solgte sang dette år ifølge Billboard-hitlisten. Desuden blev hun belønnet med Grammy-priserne for bedste nye kunstner og bedste kvindelige vokalpræstation inden for pop det følgende år.
Succesen blev fulgt op med flere udgivelser og optræden, ikke mindst i variete-shows, indtil Gentry i slutningen af 1970'erne mistede lysten til at optræde og trak sig tilbage til et stille liv i Los Angeles.
