Crystal Gayle

Grammy®-winning songstress Crystal Gayle is a beloved country music icon, whose reign in the music business includes 22 No. 1 country hits, four Top 20 pop hits, six albums certified Gold by the RIAA and three certified Platinum, including We Must Believe in Magic, which was the first album by a female artist in country music history to reach platinum sales. A pioneer of what later became the established genre country pop, she is one of the most successful crossover artists from the 1970s and 1980s.

Her list of platinum and gold is matched by her awards and accolades. CMA’s “Female Vocalist of the Year” for two consecutive years, Crystal is also a Grammy® Award winner for “Best Female Vocal Performance” thanks to her timeless, international smash hit “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” – a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing.

Crystal has three Academy of Country Music Awards statuettes for “Top Female Vocalist” and won four American Music Awards. Not surprisingly, she was named the “Most Performed Country Female Artist” on radio for the decade of 1975-1985. Perhaps nothing sums up Crystal’s career achievements better than being awarded with a star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame in October 2009.

Famous for her nearly floor-length hair, Crystal was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by People Magazine and in 2016 the Academy of Country Music honored her with the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award. Gayle was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in January 2017 by her sister and Opry legend, Loretta Lynn.

Gayle has hosted two primetime CBS television series, an HBO special, and broadcasts from China, Sweden, and Finland. She’s collaborated with numerous artists including Eddie Rabbitt and Willie Nelson, and in 1982 recorded the critically-acclaimed soundtrack to the Francis Ford Coppola film One From The Heart along with Tom Waits. In 1986, she recorded “Another World” (her second hit duet with Gary Morris) as the theme song for the long-running hit TV soap opera (and went on to guest star on several episodes of Another World where she was stalked by a ruthless killer).

Her most recent studio album, You Don’t Know Me: Classic Country, was released in 2019 and she continues to tour and perform for sold-out audiences around the globe.
