I agree with you. Not only that, but the attention 30 years after the song was written and the publicity......I think you will agree that it is a very well written song.(Gentry received a Grammy nomination for her effort).. And I am ecstatic that Reba got so many others to hear it. . It is not one vs the other, it is a symbiotic relationship and they BOTH KNOW it. And the fans come out on top!
This was kinda the first glimpse to the world of her new theatrics she was incorporating into her stage show. Fancy was 3 years old when she did this and she had no new album to promote. The greatest hits volume 2 was bout to be released in a few months. This was June of 1993.
Say what you will about Bobbie vs. Reba, but Bobbie Gentry was skipping all the way to the bank the day Reba record this and made a signature hit out of it.
Bobbie done a good job on it but Reba made it her own, but it never hit # 1 on any chart that year because Eeba held number 1 2 and three on the chart with Rumor has it at number one and fancy at number 3, although it us Rebas SIGNATURE song and her favorite
I think for their times (Bobbie and Reba) they both sang it the best. Bobbie sang it the best when she put it out and when Reba did her version was best cause it fit the times better. Personally I like Rebas bit we all have different tastes.
I saw the show in person when she arrived in a taxi cab on stage and takes the coat off when she says she aint done bad and let's her hair down it was so awesome
Wow!! Towards the end, everyone gives her a standing ovation! And she gets emotional!! Wow!! I'm so glad she is loved by so many fans!

This was also how she did fancy on the 1993 tour. Same props, dress everything
Reba rocks!!!!!!!
Where did she sing this? This is awesome!! Reba is truely one of the greatest story tellers like ever!!
I believe that was the year that Conway Twitty died right before the show and that's why Reba was emotional!She is just awesome!
I miss the TNN Music City News Country Awards.
Reba is my most favourite C&W singer but for Fancy, it was and will always be Bobbie Gentry's....
love it..
Beautiful dress:-)

CMA's ??
I love how she moves her shoulders up and down!! Its funny!
so cool when she took the jacket of and had a sexy drees under it
I saw the show in person when she arrived in a taxi cab on stage and takes the coat off when she says she aint done bad and let's her hair down it was so awesome
What happened to the sound? It’s garbage
That dress was much less revealing than the one she wore in one of her other videos!
ritch?
oooooh, haha right.
she signs with talent and conviction, but cannot hold a match to Bobbie Gentry.....no remake ever will. Full stop
lol-poor people cant afford fur coats XD
Listen to the lyrics. She's not poor anymore.
This isn't Reba it's a drag queen hired to be Reba
Um..its Reba alright! Open your eyes!
