I was in the Royal Australian Air Force, stationed in Hong Kong, 'bout 1982 or so. My wife surprised me with two tickets to a Crystal Gayle concert at the Lee Gardens Theartre.
I loved and enjoyed listening to Crystal Gayle, (on records then).
Then, her performance that night.
Magnificient.
Stunning.
Fabulous!.
Every note was more than 'just perfect', she sang beautifully, she was, - Crystal Gayle, the band was sound perfect, truly, a memorable night!.
Yes, this video perfectly captures her beauty. And if you want to be blown away by a similarly gorgeous face, just check out the Morticia Addams video tribute on my channel playlist "Gorgeous Female Faces." I kid you not! The resemblance to Crystal there is astonishing!
Congrats Charles....you and Crystal just hit 100k views on this video. I think Crystal should get most of the credit though since she is the better looking one!!!
Absolutely the best! Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. There's nobody like her in the music business! Her facial expressions make me melt. ~John

Crystal Gayle probably more than anyone changed country music into country-pop. Because she presented real, roots country songs while embodying that ultra-sexy, hair-swaying, pop-icon, front-band personae.
After her, it was just a tiny step toward "poseur country".
I agree Charles, this is one of Crystal's best songs, even though it was a cover. Another outstanding cover is Crystal's rendition of "Till I Gain Control Again", also here on YT.
No one can touch Judy Collins' version, but Crystal comes pretty damned close. Crystal actually had Judy as a guest star on her 1979 TV special (the clips are on YouTube), and told her about what a big Judy Collins fan she'd been in the '60s, which is apparent from this beautiful version of this song.
I've loved this song since I was in about first grade and first heard Crystal Gayle sing it. I had it on a cassette tape that my mom gave me. I have sung it ever since and this is by far the best version. She captures the girly feeling or maybe she defined it. I also wanted to have hair like hers.
I think this live performance of Someday Soon is even better that her studio version. Crystal seems to have enhanced it with more feeling and, of course, watching her facial expressions on this video is just mesmerizing. Thanks for uploading Charles.
Wonderful Crystal, Fragile Feminine Gentle. At last I have the privilege of seeing her singing in Concert. Her voice reaches one's soul
Funny how when looking at her beauty, she doesn't quite give away when this Concert might have been recorded. Usually with fashion trends women quickly give away this with hair styles or dresswear but not Crystal! Her look and dress style is timeless (and to my mind, perfect!) When she introduces her band it’s the guys that give away how long ago this was!
Saw Crystal in concert with the Nashville Symphony..............she/they brought the house down! The adrenaline lasted for hours! Those who think country music is passe are lost in kiddyland!
So beautiful! I'll be listening to this a lot as I drive to Estes later this summer. Not to dump on other well known versions, but this is my favorite!
@devonvanna Don't hate her because she's beautiful :o) (And can sing great- and this is coming from someone that hadn't listened to her for almost 30 years till I looked up a couple vids last week- I'm pretty impressed with what I've watched so far).
@MedusaMagic The Internet is amazing. Long before my time she gave an interview for Playboy. Read it and watch how she continually refers to herself in the third person. Manoman I hate that. So phony. Pretty, yes. She was truly pretty.
@devonvanna I tried to find the interview but couldn't- read/viewed others and didn't catch her doing that (which I agree would be annoying!) Maybe taken out of context? She did say she was "a different Crystal" at home with no make-up, saying she didn't mind being approached in public. Discussed picking the stage name, but did not refer to herself as Crystal or 'she' instead of 'I' where appropriate. Of course always the hair, because everyone asked! :o)
@devonvanna Actually, in that interview, the writer asked Crystal (whose birth name was Brenda Gail Webb) if there was a difference between her "Brenda", at home side and her "Crystal", professional side, and that's when she referred to herself in the third person...("Crystal watches what she eats...Brenda will eat anything...") It's the only time in the article that she refers to herself in the third person, but it must have made an impression.
@divine1111 My gosh you Crystal fans are an ardent group. One would think it was family members defending her, for how else could a rather innocuous comment garner such a plethora of responses? Let's just agree to disagree and listen to the music which sooothes our respective souls. Deal?
I've been loving this song for on 40 years.I've heard lots of the top versions.I think Crystal Gayle sings it with the best voice but Suzy Boguss sings it with some more feeling.
There are many versions of this song but this one is the best one. No offense to Judy Collins as she has a beautiful voice as well but Crystal Gayle give the song more melody
crystal came to dublin last week, she sang this song in concert and sounded just as good as she does here.
I'm female, hetrosexual, and I think she's fantastic. I hope I look as good when I'm her age. She looks as beautiful in person as she does here. Why, oh why did I cut my hair! I'm letting it grow again, as from now. I love you Crystal. Keep doing what you do so well. xx
I have been lucky enough to have met her and I can say she'e as nice a person as you could wish to meet. As well as being absolutely gorgeous to behold
Forgot how much I loved her music! Thanks for sharing this video.
This is the 3rd Crystal song just added to my 1978 playlist, one of 111 lists waiting to take you back in time to the music & hits of any past year back to 1900.
It's a trip back in time with the click of your mouse . . . . . . . .
yeah, she is beautiful, has a great( really great) voice, and a pretty good interpretation of this classic BUT where is the pedal steel??? A electric guitar just can't do wehat Buddy Emmons did on Collins recording , a fiddle can get close but only a pedal steel guitar can really do it- and it's about a rodeo rider and a girl who lives where there are blue northers. gotta have the steel. Also, not to carp, a little too conversational, but still my 3rd favorite version. ( Collins recorded,suzy)
This video is an excellent example of how Crystal integrates her capacity for precise vocal phrasing with gorgeously compelling facial expressions. All in all, the definitive rendering of this soulful tune. To see how well Crystal stacks up against other legendary beauties of song, see the playlist "Beautiful Women Singing" on my YouTube channel.
