As a teenager I used to listen to Crystal Gayle, but today I just can't stand mainstream Nashville production any more. This is great, however, simple folk music. Rick Rubin, please produce an album with her.
The gentile people,world wide are again taking to the streets to catch the winds of change.There is the feel of change in the air and it is not seasonal.Take care ADonovan43
Back when Donovan flooded the airwaves of the 60's I was a teen. I used to fall asleep listening to his music (one of a variety of 5 albums that I owed). Fast forward to mid 1970's & I found myself backstage at the Greek theater after a miles of iles concert meeting Joni Mitchell and finding myself meeting Donovan. Such a nice happenstance in my life. Needles to say I still love Donovan's music. Wish he still put music out there for all of us oldies but goodies.
@kathleenloreena OMG you met both Joni and Donovan? can i kiss your feet? I adore Joni and Donovan is just a jewel of an artist and talent..i would have fainted
@mrfrogbutt1 I probably would have fainted at the time ( I think that I was all of about 22 or 23) but it was just one of those moments when you are totally THERE even though you're not sure how it all worked out for you to be THERE at that moment. They'd both spoken to my heart through thier music with such power that it was a bit unnerving to actually be present with them. Great experience to look back on.
@mrfrogbutt1 Oh you are so right. Actually they & a few other artists that I followed inspired me to develop my own expressive talent either inspite of or because of the challanges of that time. It was my own artistic path that caused me to briefly meet up with Donovan and Joni Mitchell. I had immersed myself into becoming an Artist and when I met up with them I had become a fabric designer/fiber artist and had done several of Joni's costumes for her Miles of iles concerts.
@mrfrogbutt1 I've been mulling over our conversation & I want to thank you for causing me to think back upon that whole piece of my life. It really was amazing and powerful not to mention fun.
Thx for the post gussie.. Donovan sounds better in 1981 than he did in 1964, he has slowed the tempo and his vocal is deeper.. great song choice by Crystal.. nice match and one of the best folk songs ever
You are so right ..Exquisite is the only word I can find to ascribe to this ..Why isn't this type of show and this classic music on TV these days ..why must we endure decades of rap and shit ...I DEMAND REAL MUSIC LIKE THIS BACK ON MAINSTREAM ...

As lovely as a voice that Crystal Gayle has I prefer Donovan singing this beautiful song with Joan Baez. Actually Donvovan really really liked Joan Baez a lot and speaks about his feelings for Joan in his book. Other then singing this song wiht Donovan I don't think Crystal Gayle sung or got involved with folk music.
I think she mostlly stuck with the country music genre.
Loretta Lynns lil sis....man shes a beauty...so is his guitar...looking at her eyes its not hard to see why they named her crystal...and those 2 voices together.....thanks for the post
@rawdealist The interesting story is she was trying to come up with a stage name when she first started out. She was having lunch with Loretta & they were talking about it. And you can guess where they were having lunch. So she was actually named after a hamburger joint (Krystal) lol
A bit ashamed to say I caught this song from a video game ad recently, but what the heck - might as well praise this song, and performance, now. This stuff doesn't age - just the opposite :)
Wow "exquisite" is surely an accurate word to describe this...but truly there aren't enough words to say what an amazing person Crystal is :) She has a true gift; she IS a true gift. It seems to me that whenever Crystal sang her lines in the song, you could see the love in her eyes and in her voice; that she truly meant them all with her heart <3
@tyroc1 ....THAT is hilarious. I was the same way.... 4 yrs old and in love with Crystal Gayle. My folks told me I'd marry Farrah Fawcett... but neither relationship came to pass.
What was it with Donovan.He looks 20 years old here!.he was 35?.and yes Crystal had beautiful hair.Still does apparently,but I always zoned in on her lovely face and voice.
From where comes this video? I own the same on an old VHS tape, but the pictures looks really beautiful, and I wonder if there would be any DVD featuring this? If so I would like to buy a copy.
great vid love donovan xx
