(UPI) Bob-bie Gentry, a brunette who became a singing star almost overnight, will lead fellow artists into competition for the recording industry's coveted Grammy Awards for 1967. The barefoot girl from Mississippi won eight nominations for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) statuette, the recording industry's equivalent to the movies' Oscar.

All of the nominations were based on Miss Gentry's own composition, "Ode to Billie Joe," a so-called "plot" song about a youth's leap to his death from the Tallahatchie Bridge. Miss Gentry was nominated for record of the year, album of the year, composer's award for song of the year, best female vocal performance, best new artist, best contemporary single, best contemporary album and best contemporary female vocal performance. "Ode to Billie Joe" also won nominations for the best accompaniment arrangement and best engineered popular recording. NARAS will present the Grammy Awards Feb. 29 at dinner parties in New York, Chicago, Nashville and Los Angeles.

The Fifth Dimension a group which popularized "Up, Up and Away," and Glen Campbell, whose recording of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" was a hit, each received six nominations to finish runner-up to Miss Gentry.

"Later, when my picture career was over, I might easily have quit. But when Frank Serines came down from Vegas and offered to put me in a big Donn Arden production at the Desert Inn, that started my night club career, and I did tours with three different acts. "Then I got an offer to do 'Guys and Dolls' in Vegas, and that led to 'Hello, Dolly. I was just going to do it in Vegas, but David Merrick wanted me to tour and then he asked me to come into New York.

When I finally closed last November, I had been in the show for two years. Las Vegas has been Betty's home for the past eight years. She explained she made the move because husband Harry James was playing- his trumpet in the hotel-casino eight months of the year "and they had excellent schools for Vickie and Jessica." A GRANDMOTHER Now the marriage to James has ended, and their two daughters are married and have made Betty the grandmother of three. She and James remain friendly, Betty said. "If I'm leaving town for a while, I leave my dogs with his housekeeper," she remarked.

"Thank God we were sensible about the divorce. There was no question of another woman with Harry, or another man with me. It was simply we couldn't spend enough time together, because Harry was traveling so much of the time. It didn't seem right to hold him down to a marriage." James has since remarried but Betty said there is no such prospect for her, not right now, at any rate.

Remembering audiences inevitably cheered.

The same effect 'achieved during the taping of tonight's Carol Burnett Show, on which Miss Grable appears guest. When she appeared in tights, the studio audience broke into applause.
