1971 performance by a very young Crystal Gayle. Song written by James Taylor. Crystal was born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, on January 9, 1951. Her sister, country music legend Loretta Lynn, was raised in nearby rural Butcher Holler and had already married and left home by the time Crystal was born.

  • This is the only video you will see showing Crystal holding a guitar. Unlike her sister Loretta who used the guitar in many of her early performances, Crystal moved away from the pure country imagery for a more middle-of-the-road appearance. However, she has never strayed from her good, old-fashion country values.

  • @bookieswartz I agree with you that Crystal looks younger in this video than 20 years old. She is singing a James Taylor song that was released in 1968 (not one of her recordings), so my guess is that this appearance is from early 1970 before she started recording her own songs. By August 1970 she had recorded and released "I've Cried the Blue Right Out of My Eyes" (written by her sister Loretta Lynn).

    "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" came out much later in 1977.

  • I beiieve ..she's younger.. around 16 years old... coz she sang " Don't it make my brown eyes blue" when she was 19 years old..

  • It is a genuine shame I can never see old-fashioned country on TV anymore.

  • was she bangin' James at this time?

  • It's funny how much better her voice got when she found her style & she turned into a total fox but was quite plain back then.

  • YUP !!!!

  • @ANGERHATEWELCOME That is funny! Bing!

  • At 2:25 you can hear Loretta Lyne in her voice.

  • Great song...she does this so well :)
