Harper Valley (PTA) - Nostalgia Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Stella was a very proactive member of the school PTA board (hence the title) but the rest of the board thought Stella was far too radical for them, and were determined to be rid of her. The leader of the PTA was snooty Flora Simpson Reilly who hated Stella with a passion. For the second season of the show, the title was shortened to simply Harper Valley, and the PTA component of the storyline took a back seat as the setting became a more traditional suburban one. www.nostalgiacentral.com /tv/comedy/harpervalleypta.htm   (174 words)

Harper Valley PTA: The Very Best of Jeannie C. Riley - ASIN #: B00000HX6Q   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Comment: By all accounts Jeannie C. Riley greatly disliked "The Harper Valley P.T.A." and was mightily annoyed when her managers flatly insisted that she record it. But "The Harper Valley P.T.A." proved a monster hit and made her the first female country artist to hit number one on both country and pop charts. Like most vocalists of her era, Riley's albums were essentially collections of songs rather than cohesive packages, so you are not missing much by going with a "best of" collection--and this twenty-four track collection covers all the high points and then some. youtheran.org /christian_music/asin/B00000HX6Q   (526 words)

Funky16Corners: Mary Jane Hooper - Harper Valley PTA Taken at a faster tempo than the original, with the addition of some funky drums and guitar, ‘Harper Valley PTA’ is a great showcase for Hooper’s voice. The notorious Tuff City/Funky Delicacies reissue label (notorious for low quality, poorly annotated reissues of high quality music), released a compilation of Mary Jane Hooper’s recordings (not including the Seven B/Capitol sides), that included all her vocal takes as well as instrumental dubs of many of the tracks. Unfortunately the version they include of ‘Harper Valley PTA’ (supposedly pulled from the original master tapes) sounds like there was damage to the master at some point. funky16corners.blogspot.com /2005/03/mary-jane-hooper-harper-valley-pta.html   (1086 words)

Jeannie C. Riley Discography -- Joe Sixpack's Guide To Hick Music The archetypal example is, of course, her smash single, "Harper Valley PTA," which was a stunning crossover hit, pegging out at #1 on both the Country and Pop charts in 1968. Well programmed and packed with bite, it features "Harper Valley PTA" (of course, as well as "The Girl Most Likely" and the ascerbic "Generation Gap," all fine, first-rate novelty songs which captured some of the flavor of the social upheaval of the 'late Sixties and the Sexual Revolution.
