This week’s #1 record in the UK came from Mississippi’s own Bobbie Gentry, but her version was never issued as a single in America. Johnny Mathis actually recorded it first; Dionne Warwick did the song later (a Bacharach/David tune she didn’t record first, surprisingly) and scored a Top 10 US hit in 1970. Bobbie racked up the frequent flier miles, as she had a sizable fan base in Great Britain.
