“Stafford is gay? That’s the first I ever heard of that.”
Standing joke after he wrote “My Girl Bill”.
He was married at least twice, once to Bobbie Gentry for about a year I think.

“Standing joke after he wrote “My Girl Bill”.
My girl Bill is not gay! Listen to the lyrics!
Bill, you know we just left her place,
And we both know what she said.
She doesn’t want to see your face,
And she wishes you were dead!
Now, I know we both love her,
And I guess we always will.
But you’re gonna have to find another,
‘Cause she’s my girl, Bill!
