Crystal Gayle - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue (REACTION) with my wife

[@daleb1279]

She was born Brenda Webb, her older sister Loretta (Webb) Lynn was one of the true country pioneers and Loretta is credited with giving her the stage name Crystal Gayle. Loretta was pure country in her music, Crystal Gayle's style was a mix of country, pop and R&B and she definitely charted her how path in music. Both very successful artists. Incidentally, they are also cousins of another famous country star, Patty Loveless.

It was always so hard for me to imagine Crystal growing up in "Butcher Holler" with Loretta. She has hardly any accent whatsoever. But boy could both of these beautiful women sing. Great reaction guys. Love you both so much. ✌🤗

[@lizholewa8881]

I think they have the same Father, not Mother.

❤ I wish you could see her sing "live".. Her hair is beautiful and all the way to the floor. ❤😊

Gorgeous woman

[@dagmar.6954]

I've always enjoyed Crystal Gayle's voice. She is a great country music singer & is the younger sister of Loretta Lynn. She is known for her floor length hair. She had a lot of hit songs in the 70's-80's such as "Cry Me A River", "I'll Get Over You", "Wrong Road Again", Ready For The Times To Get Better", "Talking In Your Sleep", "Half The Way", "You & I" etc.

This came out the same year Blue Bayou came out by Linda Ronstadt. Great year for female singers

[@willlong8942]

My favorite by her is "When I Dream, I Dream Of You"

[@alanbrown8527]

Her beautiful cover of a Tom Waits song “Take Me Home” from the soundtrack of the Coppola film “One From The Heart” is two minutes of total bliss.

Greetings from Texas! Thanks for your content. At about 4:08 in your video y’all mentioned pink colored glasses, there is a country song called “Rose Colored Glasses” by John Conley (I think). Anyway it’s a great song talking about this exact topic. Keep up the entertaining videos and maybe share some culture with us. I love to learn!

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Great song and l love her voice!!!❤

[@terrystinnett1190]

Love you Folks , your very insightful and make a great couple !

[@lingoman1]

It is good that you are happily in love. Love is both good and bad. Crystal Gayle is a wonderful singer. Enjoy. If love is good, don't fall out of love.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Beautiful song

[@nationaltrails9585]

Crystal Gayle comes from a Country Music background; her older sister is Loretta Lynn. DIMMBEB is considered a "crossover," to become a popular music category hit, a distinction and achievement for a Country Artist. A Great Song and A Great Vocal Performance. :)

[@dgator3599]

It's a country song...enough said LOL!! One of Loretta Lynn's little sisters.

[@johnbrowne2170]

A perfect little song.

[@annereidy7981]

She had more hits than this, beautiful voice and sister of Loretta Lynn.

[@jackempson3044]

She's Loretta Lynn's sister? I didn't know that.

[@annereidy7981]

@@jackempson3044 yes, she is.

[@jessieball6195]

Actually she was kind of a 2-hit wonder. Her only other song that made the BIllboard Hot 100 top 10 was "Half the Way".

[@annereidy7981]

@@jessieball6195 right, I was thinking more along the lines of fan interest. People who actually liked her and thought she had more hits or songs they would listen to. So maybe I should have worded it differently.

[@terrytowelling8114]

Not 1997. This was 1977. I remember when it hit the UK charts - I was still at school getting into Pink Floyd.

[@sammybeck7794]

Yes yes old school country is the best.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Love is definitely tricky- Thank the Universe we have music to howl at the moon too 😂😂😂

[@michesole7015]

Love this so much ❤❤❤

[@tootz1950]

Crystal Gayle was a crossover singer. Country/pop/rock.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Such a good clap back at the lyrics, friends. Unfortunately, it's a great song but these types of songs tend to fuel that kind of behavior as well. We listen and feel our souls churning and then we also get caught up in that type of 'woe is me' attitude. If someone chooses to treat you like that, and then doesn't 'repent' and ask for forgiveness, _the best thing that can ever happen to you is to let them go_ -- it hurts but that just shows how big your heart is, and that it is well worth giving away to someone who actually deserves it.

[@tomthomas2646]

Ha. Do I really need to say ANYTHING....? The GOLDEN AGE of MUSIC.....

[@robertyoung4523]

Country piano.

[@pauljohnstone180]

"Donuts make my brown eyes blue" 😉

[@squirehobbs6754]

Another Indiana legend...

[@paulaw4854]

I don’t think this would be a hit in 2024 because of those lyrics!

[@757optim]

Crystal was country, but she had "cross-over" appeal.

[@SIXX2772]

Are you guys familiar with Art Bell with Coast to Coast and /or Midnight in the Desert?

[@AW11-e4h]

Where’s my Crystal Gayle T shirt 🤘

[@johnbarkdull5885]

Loretta Lynns, sister

[@sandracollins223]

Another song with a similar meaning is "I cant make you love me" performed by Bonnie Raitt. There so much emotion in it. And you can never go wrong with Bonnie!

[@garyjordan4735]

I agree. George Michael's version is also excellent. All the best.

[@williamcabell142]

A coal miners daughter, Loretta’s sister! ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jackempson3044]

You can avoid most bad relationships if you think before act.

[@jessieball6195]

This is what I would call a "smoky nightclub"-type of song.

[@garyjordan4735]

Great reaction as always. Thank you.I 'd like to suggest, Dusty Springfield,The look of Love or Bonnie Raitt, I can't make you love me, both great songs. Best wishes.

[@patrigilligan2112]

Sometimes, just for fun, I'll sing this, "Donuts make my brownies blue." 😂

[@StevesFunhouse]

I don't know, "found someone new" could mean she's admitting ... she left him, treated him bad, and when he moved on, she realized that she made a mistake. If that were the case, and IS the way I understand she explained it, he was in the right, and had no obligation to wait for her, especially since she did him wrong. Remember, she said she did, and he didn't know if she would come back. I think this is a confessional song, and she is begging him to overlook HER transgressions, not excusing him for his !!!

[@soultraveller5027]

Theres only a few countries in the world that have the talent to .make music jazz pop rock country all genre of music the uk America Ireland 🇬🇧 🇺🇸🇮🇪🇳🇿

[@douglaspensack3499]

Country singer,but this sounds more like a jazz arrangement. Lovely voice.

[@jessieball6195]

This song is actually closer to jazz than it is to country music. In fact, Crystal Gayle was considered a "pop" singer (unlike her strictly-country music singing older sister, Loretta Lynn).

[@MrRondonmon]

You missed the end which tells the story of the reason he found someone new. She was very, very bad to him. EVERYONE misses that. Probably cheated (its country music, KINDA she was really more Jazz to me like Patsy Cline)
