Fancy -- Bobbie Gentry -vs- Reba McEntire (Which version is your favorite?) [View all]
"Fancy" is a song written and recorded by Bobbie Gentry in 1969. The song depicts its heroine overcoming poverty to become a successful courtesan. Gentry's personal view on the song:[1]
The country song was a crossover pop music hit for Gentry. It was covered in 1990 by country music artist Reba McEntire on her Rumor Has It album. McEntire's version surpassed the original on the country music charts, reaching the Top Ten on Billboard's Hot Country Hits in 1991.
"Fancy" is my strongest statement for women's lib, if you really listen to it. I agree wholeheartedly with that movement and all the serious issues that they stand for — equality, equal pay, day care centers, and abortion rights.
