Born Brenda Gail Webb in 1951, sister to Loretta Lynn, Peggy Sue and Jay Lee Webb (all of whom had charted country singles) and a distant cousin to Patty Loveless. She was known for her beautiful waiste length hair. Yeah, I know, she had a lot of hits in the 70's, "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" being my personal favorite from that time but Crystal continued charting into 1990 on the Country charts. She scored an amazing 52 charted country songs between 1970-1990 including 18 #1's. Here is all of her #1 country hits of the 80's:
1980 It's like we never said goodbye
1980 If you ever change your mind
1981 Too many lovers
1982 You and I (w/Eddie Rabbitt)
1983 'Til I gain control
1983 Our love is on the faultline
1983 Baby what about you
1984 The sound of goodbye
1984 Turning away
1986 Making up for lost time (The Dallas lovers song)(w/Gary Morris) (was the love theme for the TV show "Dallas")
1986 Cry
1987 Straight to the heart

In another duet with Gary Morris she sang the theme song to "Another world" (#4 Country 1987).

My Mum loved Crystal Gayle, and I grew up to many a tune being played in the Chase family household.

She has a great voice, one of the best in the business.

Crystal also sang the theme song to the defunct soap opera Another World, in duet with Gary Morris. I always liked Crystal's beautiful voice and singing style, much better than her sister's, Loretta Lynn...
