“Fancy” Reaches Charts

The song written about a less fortunate young girl making sacrifices, “Fancy,” was originally recorded in 1969 by retired American singer-songwriter, Bobbie Gentry. The song was rerecorded and released by Reba McEntire in 1990, and became part of the Top Ten of Billboard’s Hot Country Hits Chart a year later in 1991.
