Brenda Gail Webb, known professionally as Crystal Gayle is an American country music singer widely known for her 1977 hit "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".

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

Subsequently, Gayle became one of the most successful crossover artists of the 1970s and 80s. She is known for her floor-length hair.
