Timeline

1912

She was the last of eight children born to Clara Marie "Clary" (née Ramey; May 5, 1912 – November 24, 1981) and Melvin Theodore "Ted" Webb (June 6, 1906 – February 22, 1959).

Unlike sister Loretta and her other siblings, Gayle was the only child born at the Paintsville hospital, and not at home.

Through her matriline, Gayle is a distant cousin of singer Patty Loveless.

Gayle and her siblings claim Irish and Cherokee descent, although she is not enrolled with any Native tribe.

Gayle's father was a coal miner who developed black lung disease.

In search of better medical treatment, the family moved to Wabash, Indiana, when Gayle was four years old.

They lived in a retired miner's community and Clara Webb worked as a nurse's aide.

1951

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".

Initially, Gayle's management and record label were the same as that of her oldest sister, Loretta Lynn.

Not finding success with the arrangement after several years, and with Lynn's encouragement, Gayle decided to try a different approach.

She signed a new record contract and began recording with Nashville producer Allen Reynolds.

1959

Ted Webb died from a stroke in 1959.

From early age, Gayle had an interest in singing.

She noted that she could sing before she could walk.

The family's new home in Wabash was in an urban setting.

She was exposed to diverse cultural groups and norms and in turn to various styles of music.

She sang along frequently to songs she heard on the radio and was inspired by the music of her sister Loretta Lynn.

Gayle's musical interests were shaped further in her teenage years.

1960

Gayle was said to have begun her career in the 1960s performing as a background singer in Lynn's band (although Gayle says this actually never happened).

1970

Gayle's new sound was sometimes referred to as middle-of-the-road (MOR) or country pop, and was part of a bigger musical trend by many country artists of the 1970s to appeal to a wider audience.

Subsequently, Gayle became one of the most successful crossover artists of the 1970s and 80s.

She is known for her floor-length hair.

Lynn helped her sign a recording contract with Decca Records in 1970.

Having minor success, she was encouraged to develop her own musical identity.

Under the direction of producer Reynolds at United Artists Records, Gayle shifted towards a country pop style that was more successful.

Gayle continued having success from the late 1970s and through late 1980s.

Gayle has won one Grammy Award and has been nominated for several others since the 1970s.

1975

In 1975, "Wrong Road Again" became Gayle's first major hit.

1977

However, it was in 1977 when Gayle achieved her biggest success with "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".

The single topped the Billboard country chart, crossed over to the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 and became a major international hit.

Her biggest hits included "Ready for the Times to Get Better" (1977), "Talking in Your Sleep" (1978), "Half the Way" (1979) and "You and I" (1982).

1990

In the 1990s, Gayle shifted artistic directions by recording various genres of music.

1995

This included an album of inspirational music titled Someday (1995) and an album of standards called Crystal Gayle Sings the Heart and Soul of Hoagy Carmichael (1999).

During the decade she also owned and operated a fine arts shop called Crystal's Fine Gifts and Jewelry.

2016
