One of the best buckle-polishing country songs of the 70's. Check out 'Talking in Your Sleep', 'Why have You Left the One You Left Me For' (upbeat), 'I'll Get Over You'. A lot of her songs are about love lost or love gained.

I agree with the way you are talking about crystal Gale's voice.And it's hard to believe that her first adventure into music using her sister Loretta's label and Management team actually failed. She almost gave up. But with the encouragement of her sister Loretta, she tried again using Nashville records with a different producer and became the success You see today

Yes, Crystal is Loretta's younger sister, but they never lived at home together. There's 19 years between them, and by the time Crystal was born, Loretta was already a married mother of her own family. Crystal still singing, and I guess she just released new music in 2019, but I personally haven't heard anything from her in decades.

This song was the kind of hit artists dream about having. #1 Country, #2 Pop. "Talking In You Sleep" was another big crossover. On the strength of several #1s and hosting TV specials, she was pretty popular.
@lefty31415918 ай бұрын
I have always considered Crystal Gayle as a country star with lots of pop crossover. I will agree that it is not so much twangy country. More in the mold of Jim Reeves from the 50s and 60s. She has many great songs and I'd love to see you react to some of her songs. My personal favorite is "You Never Gave Up On Me". Of her bigger hits I'd suggest "You've Been Talking In Your Sleep" and "Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For". Great reaction.

I have to admit, despite listening to country music all my life, I had no clue she and Loretta were sisters. Sadly, there are a lot of artists that don't make the list because they get lost in the shuffle. There are a lot of singers from the 90s that had that happen because there was an influx of great artist during that time,

Crystal was what they called (MOR) middle of the road singers. It was big in the seventies and eighties. Crystal is considered the most successful crossover artist. She is also known for her floor length hair (Cherokee ancestry) Her music was considered country, country / pop, she got plenty of playing time on country music stations. Loretta Lynn changed Brenda Lee, to Crystal! Jay Lee Webb,p (Loretta and Krystal's brother) She's looking better by the minute - it's about the more you drink the prettier they get! Jay had a good career going himself, until his death.

I'm not sure I'd say most successful country crossover artist because Dolly led everyone on the crossover train and Dolly and Kenny enjoyed huge success as crossover artists. But she definitely made an huge impact on the pop/contemporary charts too including dueting with Eddie Rabbitt.
