Bobbie Gentry first recorded “Fancy” 50 Years Ago

[pigshitpoet]

Classic rags-to-riches story-song has helped to achieve a unique place in country music and American culture at large,
where “Fancy” is simultaneously a sex worker's anthem for the country music establishment. Reba’s performance was
meant to “celebrat[e] legendary women in country music,” a theme chosen to acknowledge if not explicitly address the
industry’s well-documented sexism problem.
