Crystal Gayle has always been one of my most favourite female solo country artists..since I first heard her way back in the late 1970's. Her music is still my favourite to this day.

Crystal Gayle (born January 9, 1951) is an American country singer best known for a series of country-pop crossover hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the Grammy Award-winning, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." She accumulated 18 No. 1 country hits during the 1970s and 1980s. She is also famous for her nearly floor-length hair and was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world in 1983. She is the sister of singer Loretta Lynn (who is 17 years her senior) and the distant cousin of singer Patty Loveless

Crystal Gayle was born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, on January 9, 1951, the youngest daughter of Melvin "Ted" and Clara Marie (Ramey) Webb. Her sister, country music legend Loretta Lynn, was raised in nearby rural Butcher Holler and had already married and left home by the time Webb was born. Webb's family moved to Wabash, Indiana when she was four.
