The 1977 hit song “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” made Crystal Gayle, an American country music performer, famous. She was born Brenda Gail Webb on January 9, 1951. At first, Gayle shared management and a record business with her older sister, Loretta Lynn.
After using the arrangement unsuccessfully for a while, Gayle made the decision to pursue a different strategy with Lynn’s support. She agreed to a new record deal and started working with Nashville producer Allen Reynolds on her recordings.
Gayle’s new sound, which was part of a larger musical tendency by many country singers of the 1970s to appeal to a wider audience, was sometimes referred to as middle-of-the-road (MOR) or country pop.
Can Crystal Gayle still sing?
Of course, Crystal can sing very well. Ready for the Times to Get Better (1977), Talking in Your Sleep (1978), Half the Way (1979), and You and I (1982) were some of her biggest singles.
