'Crystal Gayle Background'

'

Brenda Gail Webb was born in Paintsville, Kentucky, the youngest of eight. When she was just four years old, her family picked up and relocated to Indiana. Her mother, Clara, urged her to get involved with music through church functions and family get-togethers. Influenced by Peter, Paul And Mary as well as The Beatles, she inked a deal with Decca Records following high school graduation. The record label was home to her famous sister, Loretta Lynn. With the label already having Brenda Lee as one of their recording artists, it was suggested she change her name, Brenda Gail Webb. As the story goes, she and her sister, Lynn, were inspired by a Krystal hamburgers sign. When they went past the sign, Lynn remarked, That's your name. Crystals are bright and shiny, like you. In the beginning of her professional career, Crystal Gayle put herself in the public's eye by participating in Lynn's stage show. She then raised her profile by consistently appearing on The Country Place TV show, hosted by Jim Ed Brown. Gayle initially cracked the country charts around 1970 with I've Cried (The Blue Right Out Of My Eyes). The single landed in the Top 30 and was trailed by I Hope You're Havin' Better Luck Than Me and Everybody Oughta Cry. To establish her own identity, Gayle parted ways with Decca Records and moved on to United Artists Records. It was there she collaborated with Allen Reynolds, producer, who crafted Wrong Road Again, a hit that cracked the Top 10 in 1974. She also found success with Beyond You, which notched a Top 30 spot. She followed up with Somebody Loves You - another Top 10 smash. I'll Get Over You came next and earned her a No. 1 country hit - her first.

In 1976, Gayle claimed the Academy of Country Music's Female Vocalist of the Year. It was Reynolds who recognized Gayle's potential for crossing over into larger markets outside of the country realm. He leveraged the opportunity when composer Richard Leigh delivered Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. The label wasn't fond of the song at first. Reynolds explained, They thought it was a mistake. It was gimmickless, straight ahead, soulful and classy, but that's all it takes. Fortunately, the public embraced the song as evidenced by the tune's popularity. It rocketed to No. 2 on the pop charts in the U.S. and even crossed the pond in the U.K., climbing to No. 5. She took home a pair of Grammys as well - one for the Best Country Song and one for the Best Female Country Vocal Performance. We Must Believe in Magic, the album that spawned the hit song, sold more than a million records. Throughout her storied career, Crystal Gayle's talents brought her many other hit singles welcomed by both country and pop music fans alike, including Talking in Your Sleep and a duet with Eddie Rabbit, You and I. More recently, Gayle was celebrated for her contributions to country music and earned a spot in CMT's 40 Greatest Women of Country Music in 2002. She placed at No. 33. In 2007, American Entertainment Magazine gave her the Best Female Entertainer award as part of the Second Annual Reader's Choice Awards. A year later, she was inducted into Kentucky's Music Hall of Fame and in 2009, her star was added to the revered Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today, Gayle continues to captivate the attention of audiences everywhere with her beautiful voice and signature lengthy locks.
