Crystal Gayle
Crystal Gayle (born Brenda Gail Webb; January 9, 1951) is an American country music singer widely known for her 1977 hit "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".

Gayle is said to have begun her career in the 1960s performing as a background singer in Lynn's band (although Gayle says this technically never happene ...
