He died 50 years ago today after the plane he chartered following a concert clipped a singular pecan tree at the end of a runway in Natchitoches, Louisiana. 5 others on board, including his accompanist Maury Muehleisen, also perished.

Jim and his melodies were a big part of my life. I played his 3 albums almost every day after school. I even had a blue denim workman’s shirt like he always wore on album covers and in concert. Fascinating - a man in a work shirt emblazoned with ‘Cat’ singing tender love songs.

The debut album by 23-year-old Bobbie Gentry was released on 21 August 1967.

Propelled by the hit title track (the 3rd best-selling single of 1967), the album peaked at #1 on the US charts in October, where it displaced the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and stayed for 2 weeks.
