      @cbrouma8014 As a second bumper music song which came later when Bell developed that program.
      But Waiting for the Times to Get Better came first which is how I originally noticed Art Bell's late night talk program to begin with.

    @caliokieboi I met her family when I was a teen. When I was totally in love with her. My first time on stage I sang in a competition to a standing only crowd I was only 15 and scared to death..I sang Crystal's music........in memory of my grandpa William Keller. and well I placed 16th out of 40 bands etc...and I will never forget that I sang on the same stage as Crystal Gayle, my first time in front of an audience. It was in Johnny's in Custer, MI. God Love You Crystal.

    I had a cassette tape of hers when I was still at school, and played it till it stretched. I loved this song back then, and now in my forties, I have rediscovered it from an adult point of view, and think it's even more fantastic. She has an amazing, clear, sweet voice, and I also hadn't realised just how beautiful she was, and is! My goodness, what a talent. I'm going to go and look for some more of her music and rekindle my love of her music. Superb.

    Within the widest definitions of country music, now and then an iconic, unforgettable timeless song emerges that invades the senses, soothes the mind, and refreshes the spirit in all of us in an ultimate country tradition. It ticks all the boxes. It embraces sadness and elation in equal measure. (I suppose depending on where you are in your life right now!) This song is number one on my desert island discs list. Ray

    A #1 hit for Crystal Gayle on the Country & Western charts. It was the 433rd #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #3 on the Adult Contemporary charts. In Canada, it hit #1 on the C&W charts and #4 on the AC charts. I saw Crystal Gayle on May 25, 1987 (Memorial Day) at the Busch Gardens Amusement Park in Williamsburg, VA. She opened for The Charlie Daniels Band.

I thought it was so beautiful and her blue eyes. But the tape got left in the middle of the seat and we went in Price-Lo to buy grocery's and it got melted by the sun. That was back in the 80s. I wish I could find them CDs or the cassetes or even an 8track will do, I've got all 3 players and they work.
