The album from which the hit came, We Must Believe in Magic, helped earn Gayle her first Grammy, for Best Female Country Vocal, and she became the first female country artist to go platinum. 1 with “I’ll Get Over You,” and hot on its heels came the crossover smash “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” which hit No. Two years later, Gayle would find her way to No. “Wrong Road Again” became her first bona fide hit, finding a spot in the top 10 on the country chart. There, Gayle was set free musically, and her first album, Crystal Gayle, was released that same year. But Gayle decided early on in her career that she wanted to make a name for herself on her own terms, and she left Decca for United Artists in 1974. The label was more than happy to have Gayle follow in her sister’s famous footsteps, and they released three more singles over the next three years, all of which helped Gayle get some footing with listeners.

In 1970, Decca Records released Gayle’s first single, “I’ve Cried (The Blues Right Out of My Eyes),” a traditional country song written by her sister, country legend Loretta Lynn that landed in the top 40 on the country chart.
