Description:: The Calumet Theatre is pleased to present an evening with legendary country superstar Crystal Gayle on Thursday, April 8 at 7:30 pm.

One of the most popular and widely recognized female country singers of all time, Crystal Gayle supported her trademark, nearly floor-length hair with a supple voice, a flair for ballads, and a crossover-friendly country-pop style that netted her numerous mainstream hits.

Gayle was born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, KY. Inspired in part by her older sister, Loretta Lynn’s success, Brenda learned guitar and started performing folk songs in high school, also singing backing vocals in her brother's band. Lynn encouraged her younger sister and started bringing her out on tour for a few weeks each summer. Decca, signed the young singer as soon as she was done with high school in 1970, changed her name, and recorded "I've Cried (The Blues Right Out of My Eyes)” where it reached the country Top 40.

Her first-ever album, titled simply Crystal Gayle, was released in 1974, and the following year she landed her first Top Ten country hit, "Wrong Road Again." In 1976, "I'll Get Over You" became the first of her 17 number one country singles.
Crystal Gayle recorded her signature song, the jazz-flavored pop ballad "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," in 1977 where it climbed to the top not only on the country charts but also the pop singles charts, and won Gayle a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal. Plus, the accompanying album, We Must Believe in Magic, became the first by a female country artist ever to go platinum.

Now a bona fide star, Gayle followed her breakthrough success with a string of hits that lasted for more than a decade. Before the '70s closed, she scored several more number one country hits: "You Never Miss a Real Good Thing (Till He Says Goodbye)", "Ready for the Times to Get Better", "Talking in Your Sleep" ( also a pop Top 20 hit), and "Why Have You Left the One You Left Me For" ; plus many more.
She kept on scoring in the '80s with hits such as "If You Ever Change Your Mind" and "It's Like We Never Said Goodbye," "Too Many Lovers," and "You and I," a duet, which was recorded with Eddie Rabbitt and became her second Top Ten pop hit.

Crystal’s hit list of platinum and gold record sales was to be matched only by her awards and accolades. CMA’s “Female Vocalist Of The Year,” for two consecutive years, she became a Grammy Award Winner for “Best Female Vocal Performance,” thanks to her beloved “Brown Eyes” – a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing. Crystal swept the Academy Of Country Music Awards for three of their “Top Female Vocalist” statuettes. As her music and her career path widened to mainstream audiences—so did her accolades. She is the recipient of three “American Music Awards” –voted by the nation as America’s “Favorite Female Artist.”
Crystal Gayle has been voted one of People Magazines most beautiful people and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999.
