@amunrey you're not as informed as you think, obviously. This song is a Lynn Anderson classic that Crystal borrowed. Her version pales in comparrison to Lynn's. As a kid in the mid-late 1970s, Lynn Anderson was the only female country singer I'd see all over network TV ..even on shows where you wouldn't normally see country stars.

@amunrey By your reasoning, one could also say Dont it Make My Brown Eyes Blue was Crystal Gayle's only "big" hit. There are monster hits, then there are big hits. A song like Rose Garden is a once in a career song for any artist, if they're lucky. According to research it went #1 in 16 countries around the world. To expect a repeat of that success from a country artist back then would be unrealistic. Lynn Anderson had 11 #1 records. You may want to go back to the research table.

@fixfireleo The Comparison with Linda Carter has been done often in comments... I guess this must be something in the face ...

@amunrey Agree, I always read Crystal was the first female country singer to achieve a platinium album.
I guess this finally may be only about the single, or song itself ?
-
If you check RIAA, Recording International Association of America, you will see that Crystal's "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" LP is in fact the first platinum LP for a country artist. You might want to check you information..OK. I try to post info. that has been verified.
Although Lynn Anderson had success with Rose Garden, that was basically her only big hit.
-
Also, "Brown Eyes/Blue" was NOT the first platinum record by a female country artist ... that would be, yet again, LYNN ANDERSON's "Rose Garden".
The absolute total package. Somewhat overshawdowed by mega-star sis., she is a star in her own right.
