In 1978, they made a movie called "Harper Valley PTA" that starred Barbara Eden. Also starring Ronny Cox, Nanette Fabray, Louis Nye, Susan Swift, and Pat Paulsen. I bought a copy of the movie on Amazon circa 2000. It was based pretty much on the song. Stats: A sexy small-town mother (Barbara Eden) exposes hanky-panky among holier-than-thou parents and teachers.
Release date: May 23, 1978 (USA)
Directors: Richard C. Bennett, Richard Bennett
Adapted from: Harper Valley PTA
Box office: $25 million (United States) or $8.5 million
Budget: $1 million
Music by: Nelson Riddle
I was a teenager back when this song came out and our school in a small rural Town had the three finger rule dresses couldn't be shorter than three fingers above the knee
Jeannie C. Riley is best known for her 1968 country & pop hit "Harper Valley PTA". But she had some other songs such as "The Girl Most Likely", "There Never Was A Time," "The Rib," "The Back Side of Dallas," "Country Girl," "Oh Singer," & "Good Enough To Be Your Wife". Later she became a born-again Christian and began recording gospel music during the late 1970's.
The song is from the 1968, and it's implied that this is happening several years earlier. Young women in big cities could wear mini-skirts. But a Mom? And in Harper Valley (assumed to be a conservative rural place)?
she was also widowed with a child, the only thing more scandalous would be divorced with a child
@@mizztab3677 There's nothing scandalous about being a widow
it’s not the being widowed so much as being a single woman who has a teenage (pre-teen)daughter. She would be considered loose moraled catnip to every married man in town at that time even more so if she were divorced
One of her great songs. I was so young. My sister had this on a 45 rpm vinyl.
Jeanne C. Riley has such a beautiful voice.
In our public high school, during the 1970s, girls' skirts could be no more than one inch above the knee. Rumor had it that a couple of the older teachers carried measuring tapes. Shorts were forbidden for both genders except during Phys. Ed. On the other hand, most of the guys, and some girls, carried pocket knives. Some guys even had folding knives in shiefs on their belts. If I remember correctly, the rule was, the blade couldn't be over six inches long. Back in grade school, 4th grade, a kid brought his. 410 shotgun to school for a kind of show and tell. Different times.
Tom T. Hall was a great Country storyteller. A couple of his best are The Year Clayton Delaney Died and Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine. Also, Hoyt Axton's Della and the Dealer Is a great story song. Bye.
I don't remember guys carrying knives to school back then. But I remember a guy getting busted for having a joint. It was all over school, like a huge deal.
I would second reactions to all three of those songs. Along with Tom T Hall's Faster Horses.
"Rumor had it that a couple of the older teachers carried measuring tapes."
Oh, I'm sure some did and they enjoyed the hell out of measuring the length of teenage girls skirts. It's all about them hypocrites.
I have loved this song for years! I believe it is referencing the 60's when people were more strict about dressing and mini-skirts were freaking the old folks out. I believe that Riley is singing from the perspective of the young girl as an adult recounting this story...in 1985 which was the year it was released.
I would love to play this song at my church.
Also this is a true story in Tom Hall's life with his mother in Kentucky I think it was.
Also I think there was a remake of this return to Harper valley that's out there on UA-cam too
A TV show w/a Barbra Eden as the mother of the daughter
In 1984, Jeanne did another song called "Return to Harper Valley. " l thought it was a cool song.
This is so weird; I don't know why but for some reason this song popped into my head the other day.
There was a tv length movie with the story starring Barbara Eden
Listen to the words
The part 2 is a great one also
Old enough by Angelina Jordan this is for Lulu, Old Enough is her new album
The story, sung in 1968, is about the singer's mother, from the time the singer, Jeannie C. Riley, was in junior high school. So, at least 10 years earlier, if not more. And, you are either not paying attention or are a lttle dense not to know the song is about the mother, not the daughter.
you should hear her follw up return to harper valley PTA chapter 2
Dolly Parton and Billy Ray Cyrus also did a cover of this song....
When I was in high school, the principal would be outside when the students arrived and if he thought the girls dresses or skirts where to short he would have the girl kneel down and if the skirt didn’t touch the ground he would send them home or lower them and he would keep an eye on them the rest of the day. That’s no shit!!!
We now know who the brains of the operation is.... Duhhhhhh😮
This was released 1968, you gonna share her dirty laundry she’s gonna drop your entire dirty laundry basket. We had a “Widow Jones” near my neighborhood and I made sure to walk by that house every morning because the only other place you’re gonna see that much skin is if you’re in Amsterdam
It is "reported" that the mom is drinking and going wild, doesn't mean it's true.
I remember one girl on my Bus with black hair would tease her hair so much you could see light through it. One day she got on the bus going home sputtering. It seems school took her into the shower the un-tease it.
Generational info: Ice delivery men were known to be young, strapping and strong. The inference: Mrs Taylor has him over when her husband is out of town. (With the husband chasing after the widow for a date, I don't blame Mrs. Taylor for going for the ice delivery man.) Also, when the man's secretary had to leave town, that is a euphemism for she's unwed and pregnant.) What struck me was it was back when a young teenager would still go and play after school. Ahh, innocence.
Where I worked the President of the company sent a lady home to change because she wore a very risque dress to work one day.
Good for him. Work is no place for risque dress.
This long-ago hit could be retitled: "KARENS GET THEIR NOSES TWEAKED!" C'mon fellah, it's clearly stated that the plot is the PTA vs. the little girl's MOM!
my first day of Junior High.. all the girls show up in hot pants or mini skirts and the principal sent them all home to change... quite a change from grade school
Remember both the song and movie release dates. Both were pretty popular for a time based on the lyrics mainly but the song was great too. Moral values were the impetus behind hypocritical so called upstanding citizens so the gossip/accusations was a flyin. Sure glad times changed.
The mini skirts were the rage in the 60's and 70's.
Tom T Hall some great songs. I'll suggest some of my favorites:
The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
Faster Horses
Watermelon Wine
Ravishing Ruby
I think you'd like the stories in all of these songs.
Added to the list!
The second part of the song had an echo. The second part of the song had an echo.
*Promosm*
Dude, are you a little slow in the head or what? The song is very self explanatory.
