What are her other good songs?

But, as far as Crystal goes, search "Half the Way," "River Road," "Talking In Your Sleep," most of the big hits, I guess. If you're talking Juice, though, she's a bona fide classic.

Wow this thread was too short, but then again the misidentification of the track that started it all was a derail from the get-go.
Searched to see if we had a Gayle thread based on the Ronnie Milsap thread just now. One of my dad's favorite singers in the late seventies, along with Linda Rondstadt and Bonnie Raitt, and "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" is one of the first chart songs as such that I remember at all:

"Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" is great! I love "Talking In Your Sleep" too, a great weeper.

Totally love this eerie song from a few years ago called "Midnight In The Desert," which she apparently wrote as a theme for Art Bell's early-morning tinfoil-hat UFO-conspiracy radio show (which I used to listen to sometimes to keep me awake while driving from PA back to NYC):

I am all in on Crystal Gayle the past couple weeks. A lot of her stuff seems to be withheld from streaming services for some reason, but collecting the vinyl is absurdly inexpensive. Pretty much everything from the beginning up through 1982's True Love is solid good times. The pre first album singles comp, I've Cried the Blue Right Out of My Eyes, all recorded with Owen Bradley, is particularly nice.
