He Is Beautiful To Me 3:12 - Editorial Reviews : Capitol's 2007 edition of Crystal Gayle's greatest hits is the most thorough single-disc retrospective spotlighting ten years of the vocalist's career. Expanding both EMI's 1997 Classic Crystal and Rhino's 2002 Best of Crystal Gayle, this set effectively captures her full range of Top Ten country-pop classics initially released on United Artists, Elektra, Warner, and Columbia in the '70s and '80s. With the exception of a song here and there, the track listing sticks close to chronological order starting in 1978 with a song her older sister Loretta Lynn wrote, "I've Cried (The Blues Right Out of My Eyes)," and ending with the 1986 cover version of Johnnie Ray's "Cry." The only complaint about this set is that five of her number one hits were excluded: "Our Love Is on the Faultline," "Baby, What About You," "Turning Away," "Straight to the Heart," and her duet with Gary Morris, "Making Up for Lost Time." Still, this is a well-rounded retrospective of Crystal Gayle's beautiful refined voice and timeless country-pop material. Les Campbell, All Music Guide
Born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, Kentucky, and raised in Wabash, Indiana, Crystal Gayle followed in older sister Loretta Lynn's footsteps, but while Loretta was all country, Crystal leaned toward the pop end of the country spectrum. In 1977 she scored her biggest hit with "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." In the following decade she recorded for United Artists, Columbia, Elektra, and Warner Bros., releasing nine Top-10 country albums, four of them gold and two platinum. She took the Country Music Association's award for Female Vocalist of the Year in both 1977 and '78, and became the first country artist to visit China when she appeared in a Bob Hope TV special in 1979. The Best of Crystal Gayle, her first career-spanning hits collection, packs a single disc with 20 hits released between 1976 and 1986. Features many #1 singles, including "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue."
2008 digitally remastered two-fer featuring a pair of Crystal Gayle's original albums on one CD: Miss The Mississippi (1979) and These Days (1980). These two albums were produced by Country Music legend Allen Reynolds (producer for Garth Brooks, Don Williams, Kathy Mattea, Emmylou Harris and many others) with the backing of Nashville's finest session musicians, and a selection of songs from Nashville's finest songwriters. Miss The Mississippi spawned three hit singles: "It's Like We Never Said Goodbye", "Half The Way" and "The Blue Side". These Days produced two # 1 singles in "Too Many Lovers" and "If You Ever Change Your Mind". 20 tracks. Edsel.
