Gentry was born on July 27, 1944, near Woodland in Chickasaw County, Mississippi to Ruby (née Bullington) and Robert Streeter. Her step-brother is also known as Robert Streeter. Her parents divorced shortly after her birth, and her mother moved to California. She was raised on her grandparents’ farm in Chickasaw County. Her grandmother traded one of the family’s milk cows for a neighbor’s piano, and seven-year-old Bobbie composed her first song, “My Dog Sergeant Is a Good Dog”. She attended school in Greenwood, Mississippi, and began teaching herself to play the guitar, bass, banjo, and the vibraphone.
