"Collection #1"

1. Performing many of her favorite selections, Crystal steps to the stage

for her very own musical special titled "Crystal Gayle In Concert." Starting

out with a rousing rendition of "Gone at last" she looks simply beautiful.

After performing a few of her "early, early" hits, she sings a wonderful

version of "Why have you leave the one that you left me for." Which

has always been one of my favorites! Slowing things down a bit, she

performs a wonderful rendition of "When I dream." Jazzing things up

she steps into the roaring 20's with her exceptional version of "What

a little moonlight can do." Continuing with songs from that particular

era, Crystal performs a delightful medley of favorites that we all know

"More than you'll ever know" "Lover man" "That man of mine" plus many

more! Returning to her catalog, she sings a heartfelt version of "You

never gave on me." Picking up the pace, she performs "Same old story

same old song." Another favorite! Then she sings two more! "Talking

in your sleep" and "Ready for the times to get better." Afterwards she

continues with a few of her newer releases "True Love" and "Our love is

on the fault line." Returning to several of her biggest hits Crystal performs

"Don't it make my brown eyes blue" and "Half the way." After receiving a

standing ovation, Crystal returns to the stage to perform "He is beautiful"

and in the closing the show "Rocky Top." Throughout this delightful special

Crystal simply commands your attention, she is so beautiful!

2. Appearing on the "Grammy Awards" Crystal performs a wonderful rendition

of "Don't it make my brown eyes blue." She looks so beautiful!

3. Making a special appearance on Nashville Now during the Holiday Season

from her latest release "A Crystal Christmas." Throughout the show, Crystal talks

about many things: her trademark long hair, the upcoming opening of her shop

in Nashville, and her family. Which by the way, join her later in the show. She also

sings "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "He is beautiful to me."

4. Performing "Our love is on the fault line" Crystal is simply wonderful, during

this particular appearance on the Tommy Hunter Show. In closing, she sings a

fantastic rendition of her hit "Don't it make my brown eyes blue."

5. "Live via satellite" Crystal joins the celebration on the 1985 "American Music

Awards" as they pay tribute to her sister, Loretta. It's a heartfelt moment!

and performer, singing "You were there for me." She is simply wonderful!

As always, she looks simply wonderful! Very nice!

10. After a short interview segment, Crystal presents her newest video "Touch and Go."

Which finds her in a playful mood! It goes without saying: she looks fantastic!

11. The last item on this tape is kind of different, because it's not everyday

that a "country artist" becomes the focus of a daytime soap opera, but that's

just what happened when Crystal made a guest appearance on "Another World."

The storyline of the show, itself, revolved around a "serial killer" and for some

reason "the individual" decided that Crystal was going to be the next target.

In all honestly, I haven't seen this in years, but as the story started to unfold,

I was glued to the screen!

Crystal's first scene begins with her singing a piano version of "Don't it make

my brown eyes blue" which is simply fantastic! From there she interacts with the

cast, leading up to her performance later that evening, where she sings "Deep Down"

and "Lonely Girl." During both of these musical numbers, she looks absolutely RADIANT!

After her performance things start to shift, and the killer comes after her!

In typical fashion we never see who the real killer is, and perhaps that makes the

scenes with Crystal that much more believable! Quite a bit of this is shot in slow

motion, and so it creates a kind of scary feeling, that she is being chased.

And Crystal is in every scene! It's her and not a double!

She has such a presence on screen, and it translates so well. Her acting seems very

natural. As the show draws to a close, Gary Morris joins Crystal for their duet of the

theme from "Another World." Which is truly fantastic!

This particular collection is 2 hours and 35 minutes in length!

"Collection #2"

moment, with Joan Lunden. Looking radiant as always, their conversation centers

around her children, as we prepare to celebrate the Holiday Season. Which by the

new album, she spends a few minutes talking about her new shop, that is just

about ready to open in Nashville.

first performance in Wabash, in ten years. And afterwards, she gave a reception

for close family and friends. Very nice!

eyes blue." For her set, Loretta has chosen "Always on my mind" "You're

lookin' at country" and a very special "Patsy Cline" medley. Which is simply

wonderful! As she performs "Coal Miner's Daughter" Crystal returns to

career! As the interview begins, we catch a glimpse of "Butchers Hollow" where

Crystal was born. From there she speaks fondly of her sister, Loretta, who told her

to not sing any of her songs, because then people would start to compare the two

of them. But Crystal didn't feel that would be much of a problem, because she grew

up singing all forms of music, not just "country." As the interview continues, Crystal

strolls through the "Cheekwood Botanical Gardens" in the heart of Nashville, which

prompts her to confide why she loves the city so much! Moving "inside" we are

treated to a very special tour of her store, which finds Crystal sharing her thoughts

on what she would like to present, her role in the business, and her hopes for the

future! Overall this is a very nice interview!

Crystal steps to the stage for a heartfelt version of her hit song, "Half the way."

Interestingly, when it comes time for the interview, Ralph Emery asks her if anyone

calls her by her real name, which is "Brenda." From there, and throughout the rest

of the show, the subject of her "hair" and how she takes care of it, seems to fascinate

everyone. Crystal also puts to rest those rumors about the headaches, and neck

pains, associated with her long hair, which was written about in the news. Later in

the program, Crystal performs a new song, "Just an old love." Then later, singing with

one of her band members, Crystal assures us that it will be a "Special Kind of

Christmas this Year." Along with another holiday favorite, "I'll be

home for Christmas." It's a wonderful evening!
