"El Paso" was the very first number 1 of the 1960s.

I grew up on this stuff. El Paso was one of my very first favorite songs. I Fall to Pieces was another one.....I started out a fan of Crazy, but over time I Fall To Pieces rose to match it. Those 3 definitely should've been the top 3. It's crazy that Crazy didn't hit #1. By The Time I Get To Phoenix at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/4is">#4is</a> about right. Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues are up there too.

Bobby Gentry had to fight against sexual abuse and twice having Ode to Billy Joe stolen from her before she finally got it released under her own name. Little wonder she turned her back on the "moral and self righteous" music industry. This is indeed an extremely black mark on the grey copy book of the music industry.
