"Ode to Billy Joe" was #1 on the Hot 100 the week I was born.

Somebody jumped off a bridge if my memory serves me.

Babysat my mom a few times.

She had a number 1 here in the UK with a version of 'I'll never fall in love again', 'Ode' only reached number 13 iirc.

Was “Fancy” not more popular? Personally I think “seasons come seasons go” is pretty good

Mega tune. Bobbie not a dude then.

Owned a minority stake in the Phoenix Suns and sold it. Word is she currently lives in the Memphis area and just wants to be left alone

She climbed up in my cab, because she found out I was a “pickup man”

That’s definitely Marisa Tomei
