I was only four in 1968 when “Harper Valley PTA” came out, so my memories of its release are rather non-existent. When I was a few years older a friend who lived across the street had a 45 of this song and we listened to it often. We sang along with it too, at the top of our lungs and with attitude.
The song, incidentally, spun off into a television movie and series starring Barbara Eden in the lead role. Didn’t last long though.


I was 7 the first time I heard Harper Valley on the radio. I loved it then and love it now, 40 years later. On a scale of 10 I would give the album an 11. yes i did drive my family crazy with this album they all know it word for word.
