Crystal Gayle – “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue”

I only really know one song by American country singer Crystal Gayle, but I really like it, especially the piano accompaniment: “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue”.

The song was a hit worldwide in 1977, reaching Number 1 on the U.S. Country charts and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album it was taken from , “We Must Believe In Magic”, went platinum.

This performance of “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” by Crystal Gayle appears to have been in Australia, judging by the accent of the announcer (or is it South Africa?):

Apparently Crystal Gayle, who is the younger sister of Loretta Lyn (never knew that till now), has blue eyes.

Fancy that.
