Happy Birthday, Bobbie Gentry! From "Ode to Billie Joe" to your captivating storytelling, you've always had a knack for turning everyday moments into timeless classics. Your music still has us humming along and wondering exactly what happened on that Tallahatchie Bridge.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as much mystery and charm as the stories you weave. May this year bring even more success—though topping yourself might be tough since you're already legendary! Keep inspiring us all with your talent; after all these years, we're still hanging onto every note.

Cheers to another unforgettable chapter ahead!
