This song and Crystal are ageless. It has been almost 30 years since this video was made and the words of the song still speak to us....and, of course, Crystal remains as beautiful and charming as ever. Thanks Charles for posting this video.
CG played this at the Crystal Theater right before her sister passed away. What a magical night. Crystal has been married 50+ years and she so humble she never mentioned it at the concert. Her 50th wedding anniversary she's all class folks.
I remember this song from my early teens. It has a hypnotic melody to it. Make me feel like a dark night with spooky moon . It just draws you in and gives you chills. That feeling hasn't visited me in years, and this song brings it back. Thanks for the kick start.
What a honeycomb she is! More precious than all the crystals, diamonds and gold- Crystal Gayle has an ethereal beauty; soul level from surface to apex, this is not just a performance; this is a genuine feeling expressed with so much heart, it makes me want love. Real love. There was a time... amour e'tait', amour fou, amour aterno- and the gift of that time allows for no feelings of loss. I am much too fortunate to have had those times. I continue and times are challenging even for the rugged, the rough and the ready. Hope is in Crystal's long long hair, her sweet honeybee voice, what a voice, and the way she just sways and delivers. It is more than genuine, wide and deep. It is truly ethereal. She moves me with this song, some others, yet this one excels and her "being" just as she is, reminds me of a woman I once dreamed I was dreaming of. Only I was awake, aware and against all odds and circumstances- in true love. 30 years and a sudden loss. The juice is worth the squeeze, the moments worth the controversies, and all that she was, gives me so much, there is no loss. I just selfishly miss the crazy love that was... impossible- yet we had that for real. I met her in 1983, when I caught her by a belt loop, sliding down an 80 foot dead drop up on Mt. Diablo there where the cliffs are called, "Rock City." And oh, yes, hoo-yah, we rocked each others' worlds. 30 years on a first date. Look at the times now. Isn't it so very true, that many of us feel this way too- "Ready for the Times to get Better." I would have enjoyed this also in a duet with Doc Watson. You know it is true, I "made her brown eyes blue." Blue like a sunny day. All be well, and keep happy. (With regards to Papa Mali...) ~ RaVen ~
I just shared this song with my friend who had never heard it before and all of her 32 years and the assignment in her voice when she heard it was great! I wish I could hear it again for the first time.....❤️ Crystal is the best!!!
Crystal Gayle, now in her 70s, still has a crystalline voice. She is the half-sister of the late country music icon Loretta Lynn. Crystal Gayle is part Cherokee American Indian and that helps contribute natural beauty. Late popular talk radio host, on over 600 stations in his heyday, used to play this song on his talk radio show and have Crystal as a guest. She made a song about him in 2001 called "Midnight In The Desert" and I suggest all true Crystal Gayle fans locate it on TH-cam. She gave it away, and still might, as a free MP3 download.
Beautiful lady, beautiful singer, beautiful song. Art Bell always played this song on his radio show Coast to Coast. Check out her song Midnight in the Desert that she wrote for Art Bell.
Very ,very,very beautiful woman.... like Angel ,it was one of the most beautiful woman in the world, theres no more beauty for country music shes the only one for the nashville business.
I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain Hopin' to find a way out I've had enough of this continual rain Changes are comin', no doubt It's been a too long time With no peace of mind And I'm ready for the times To get better You seem to want from me what I cannot give I feel so lonesome at times I have a dream that I wish I could live It's burnin' holes in my mind It's been a too…
Right there with you Kristen. I remember hearing her songs on the radio while we drove into town or up the freeway to see relatives. I was about 5, maybe 6. I think she is also one of the first females I had a crush on. Always loved her long hair and that voice....
listen to that deep music at the 0:37 mark, gets your heart pounding. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE VOICE, never meet Crystal yet, will have too before I pass on.
The trash we have for "artists" here in 2022 is disgusting. Miss Crystal now in her 70's still a timeless beauty and grace to match. Privileged to see her a few years ago. Loretta's little sister Brenda Gayle Webb.
by the time she got married (aged 20) she wasn't famous yet, and neither of her and her husband were rich at all. So not the question, but just to be the right man, at the right place, right moment.
What's a heterosexual male able to say about this ravishing woman that hasn't ALREADY been said many times over? Words don't do her justice. At least I can say my eyes had the privilege of beholding her.
One of the most Beautiful and Talented people on the Planet
I concur
I agree.
I listened to this as a youngster, and at 53, I still absolutely love it!

Yes even more so now some 11 years after you left this comment.
She is ageless!!!
there is vanity in this very beautiful and talented lady.
there is no vanity in this beautiful and talented lady.
crystal gayle is one of my favorite musical artists.
In the 70's we little boys considered a real lady.
Still do!
I think we all are ready for the times to get better

Absolutely beautiful .. Very classy woman .. I was amazed by her when I was a kid.
Absolutely the most beautiful woman on the planet
with the special timbre of her voice,
Crystal Gayle is always pretty exceptional.
I love this song
I remember this song from my early teens.
It has a hypnotic melody to it.
Make me feel like a dark night with spooky moon .
It just draws you in and gives you chills.
That feeling hasn't visited me in years, and this song brings it back.
Thanks for the kick start.
A distinctive singing voice and I love to hear it.

Her voice is the century’s best, so smooth and melodious and harmonically gifted. Plus such a beautiful woman.
Hard to argue with any part of your great comments!!!!
Mr. Squirrel more: These musicians are not little league, either, mind you.....
I would put Judith Durham right with her.
@@timothyjordan5731 her, and Bonnie Letcher from Take Three

Yes, when "when I dream" is probably one of the three all time CG favorite with "don't it make my brown eyes blue" & this one.
I just shared this song with my friend who had never heard it before and all of her 32 years and the assignment in her voice when she heard it was great! I wish I could hear it again for the first time.....❤️ Crystal is the best!!!
( So beautiful ). and she’s not screaming like the singers do today

You can hear it at the end of every episode of Art's "Midnight In The Desert" programs, also here on TH-cam.
@@Psalm1267 Yes, that was his last radio show before he passed on in April 2018 at age 72.
She epitomizes elegance.
My favorite Chrystal Gayle tune.
she is perfect
She is so so beautiful!
Anyone here in 2024?
yes, still there!
The most beautiful woman in 0the world my whole damned life. Her and Olivia Newton John
American beauty.
Beautiful lady, beautiful singer, beautiful song. Art Bell always played this song on his radio show Coast to Coast. Check out her song Midnight in the Desert that she wrote for Art Bell.
Boy did I F'up, I never saw her in concert. The only one I missed. I saw all the classic country stars, DAMN ....
Who else knew that Loretta Lynn's little sister was not only prettier, but also was a better singer? I love Crystal Gayle!
Gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice.
Very ,very,very beautiful woman.... like Angel ,it was one of the most beautiful woman in the world, theres no more beauty for country music shes the only one for the nashville business.
she was indeed ranked among 50 most beautiful people in the world ( of show business) in 1984 I think.
Awesome crystal
I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain
Hopin' to find a way out
I've had enough of this continual rain
Changes are comin', no doubt
It's been a too long time
With no peace of mind
And I'm ready for the times
To get better
You seem to want from me what I cannot give
I feel so lonesome at times
I have a dream that I wish I could live
It's burnin' holes in my mind
It's been a too…
beautiful and talented.
One of my favorite Crystal Gayle songs. Needs another verse though.
I remember listening to her music when I was roughly eight years old she is awesome still!
Right there with you Kristen.
I remember hearing her songs on the radio while we drove into town or up the freeway to see relatives. I was about 5, maybe 6. I think she is also one of the first females I had a crush on. Always loved her long hair and that voice....

Good song for now, 2020

Shes a knock out my god
They don't make them like this anymore.
I wish I could get pics of Crystal from this era...but I can't get a good shot lol
That's right :) She is part Cherokee and part-Irish.
❤

Check out Billy Strings, he does a version of this. The kid is phenomemal, an old soul in a young body.
what a hair!! ;)
yes, she is a quarter Cherokee. Her grandmother and grandfather one on each side were half cherokee.
by the time she got married (aged 20) she wasn't famous yet, and neither of her and her husband were rich at all. So not the question, but just to be the right man, at the right place, right moment.
I said goodbye to Kentucky.
What's a heterosexual male able to say about this ravishing woman that hasn't ALREADY been said many times over? Words don't do her justice. At least I can say my eyes had the privilege of beholding her.
The story of my life It dose not get any better.
Too long. Beautiful
