Crystal Gayle

Crystal Gayle is an American country music singer best known for her 1977 country-pop hit, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". An award-winning singer, she accumulated 18 number one country hits during the 1970s and 1980s. She is also famous for her nearly floor-length hair and is the younger sister of singer Loretta Lynn and a distant cousin of singer Patty Loveless. Crystal Gayle has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, near Loretta Lynn's star.

She started singing along with country and pop songs on the radio and inspired by her sister Loretta Lynn's performance she decided to learn guitar and sing backup in her brothers' folk band. While she was still in high school, Gayle began to tour with Loretta Lynn for a few weeks each summer. She signed on with Decca Records, her sister's record label, but since there was already a star named "Brenda Lee", Decca asked Gayle to change her first name. It was her older sister Loretta Lynn who suggested the name 'Crystal' for her singing career. So Brenda Gail Webb took the stage name 'Crystal Gayle'.
