Fancy was a country soul pop triumph that was the first album on Capitol to be produced by an outside producer. Recorded in Muscle Shoals with Rick Hall at the helm, the self-penned title track went on to become Bobbie’s most successful single since ‘Ode to Billie Joe’. Other highlights include the sexy soul of ‘He Made a Woman out of Me’ and ‘Find ’em, Fool ’em, Forget ’em’ and interpretations of contemporary songs like Harry Nilsson’s ‘Rainmaker’ and James Taylor’s ‘Something in the Way He Moves’. Also included are the superb ‘Apartment 21’, the previously unreleased ‘Circle Round The Sun’ and alternate takes of ‘Wedding Bell Blues’, ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’ and ‘Scarlet Ribbons’ originally from The Christmas Sound of Music.
