Terrific Multigenerational Musical Family: Miss Loretta Lynn, Miss Crystal Gayle, Miss Peggy Sue, Jay Lee Webb, Miss Patty Loveless, and The Lynns. And not the ONLY such Family in Kentucky as well. The Stanley Brothers. And Ricky Skaggs with Buck, Sharon, and Cheryl White.🤔🎤🎼🎸🎻💃📺B.W.
I remember when Loretta first started with The Wilburn Brothers Show...I was very very little but the memory is vivid to me. My dad put a TV in the kitchen just so he could always watch the show and let me know that Loretta Lynn was on. He was a single dad and did his best to entertain us all. May he rest in peace.
Didn’t realise Crystal Gayle had such a talented family and didn’t realise Loretta Lynn was his sister all have beautiful voices I haven’t really heard of the other two .............kim 🇬🇧
Wish they had shows like this today for those of us stuck in the '70s. I love Loretta's come back when he accidentally refers to Crystal by her real name 'Brenda' at 5:47. Loretta reminds him that it is "Crystal" and then goes on to say "what's wrong with you".
Wilburns were a class act....helped make Loretta Lynn a star and did so much to promote country music back in some hard times. Proud to be related to them.
Wilburn Bros were my mon's cousins...born and raised here in Hardy, AR. I had fortune to play opening for Crystal Gayle at Hardy in 1975 in her early years....Dusty Rhodes sponsored her show in hardy on July 4....we did two shows with her. She is great. Hope she remembers that!
Continued........from below........ I got to know Chrystal that summer and also the other artist with the troupe. Dhe captured my heart and admiration that summer and became a friend who will never be forgotten Even though I was one in a croud. She stayed in my heart along with Carl Walenda, Jim Ed, Helen, Blake, Delilia and Tino Walenda.
I had the immense pleasure of meeting Chrystal in the summer that this show was recorded. She sang River of Darkness and Wing of a Snow White Dove, along with Blake Emmons, Jim Ed Brown, and if memory serves right, Helen Cornileus. This was at the Enchanted Forest in Old Forge NY. I was a volunteer who worked with the Walendas,The lion tamer,and the pony and wagon rides. Crystal and the yong Walendas came to Rudy's Rail with some of the employees and had soda, pizza and had fun with us.
All three are still touring the country to this day. Loretta has an unstoppable touring schedule, and Peggy is on the road with Crystal and all are revere their fans. Loretta and Crystal have new CDs coming out sometime soon.
This was right around the time that Loretta renamed Brenda 'Crystal' and some of the people who knew her as Brenda were having a hard time getting used to it as was Brenda herself.
Sorry to be picky, but the song is 'Ribbon Of Darkness' and always has been. What a great performance by a young girl who went on to have more number ones than Loretta did.
She had more #1 singles than Loretta only in Billboard charts, not all the trade charts combined. The sad thing is she is only know for one of them today and all the rest are all but forgotten. Loretta became an ICON and a living legend in her life time.
The Rolling Stones had a song Called Stupid Girl In part of my dream of the singer Crystal Gayle I made a song similar to Stupid Girl I called it Sweet Sweet Girl In part of that dream I had I played all insturments Crystal Gayle and Loretta Lynn sang back up for me on the song I said Here,s my sweet Sweet girl I,ll never raise my fist to or swear in her face Or will I complain About such and such in the dream i released the song in 1975 as a country rock track I said My Sweet Sweet Girl I,ll never make her cry or slap me in the face I,ll never call her stupid she isn,t that in part of that dream It was about my foxy lady Ms. Crystal Gayle at the end of the song Crystall said to me come here baby I said She,s Mine not yours she kissed me it got on American Top 40
I love how proud Loretta looks of her baby sister. Beautiful

Crystal Gayle is so adorable in this 1970 Wilburn Brothers Show classic!!
Loretta & Crystal both have star quality---
Wow. Crystals voice is fabulous.

Whenever I walked along River Road in Cape Cod, Crystal always came to mind as this was the name of one her songs.
Her brother is a very good singer!

Sadly, Jay Lee passed away a few years...gone too soon!
My alsolute favorite!❤
Loretta named Brenda her stage name Chrystal Gayle.
thanks for these very interesting memories.
Note that toward the end, Gayle was referred to by her birth name Brenda.
What a class act!
Kitty Kitty Loretta told her to change it cause their was Brenda Lee
This was right around the time that Loretta renamed Brenda 'Crystal' and some of the people who knew her as Brenda were having a hard time getting used to it as was Brenda herself.
Jay Lee Webb, Peggy Sue & Loretta Lynn all smiling and proud of their little sister at 1:31

Wow what a family I just went to know way jay lee never made it big he got a a great voice just like Loretta and crystal and pegg sue not bad either
Clear strong voice. Beautiful shiny hair. Think she was about 16.
a little bit more, 1970, she was 19.
She's a boomer
Wish I could have seen the whole episode......
19 Years old!
Loretta sure got on to Doyle when he called Crystal "Brenda" lol.
brenda webb aka crystal gayle had the best singing voice in her family. her she is at 19 years old.
Her brother had a pure country voice. Sounds kinda like Hank Williams Sr
Loretta was a babe, fine looking woman
Crystal was the most talented of the family
@Jim Johnson - Unfortunately the up loader of that video had his account terminated by YT. Maybe someone else will be kind enough to up load it.
@pblakeley1968 You may be able to find some of Jack's old LP for sale on ebay... I got one or two like this.
The name of the song is-Broad Minded Man
I think this is her very first one!
The Rolling Stones had a song Called Stupid Girl In part of my dream of the singer Crystal Gayle I made a song similar to Stupid Girl I called it Sweet Sweet Girl In part of that dream I had I played all insturments Crystal Gayle and Loretta Lynn sang back up for me on the song I said Here,s my sweet Sweet girl I,ll never raise my fist to or swear in her face Or will I complain About such and such in the dream i released the song in 1975 as a country rock track I said My Sweet Sweet Girl I,ll never make her cry or slap me in the face I,ll never call her stupid she isn,t that in part of that dream It was about my foxy lady Ms. Crystal Gayle at the end of the song Crystall said to me come here baby I said She,s Mine not yours she kissed me it got on American Top 40
4 talented family (sisters & brother) , yeah that's right !
Song was written by Gordon Lightfoot...
She was cuter before her big change.
sharon wrijil yes, young & not yet very long hair
More hits than Loretta? I dont think so
Had no idea Crystal was related to Lorretta.
Think there an at least 20 year difference between them.
Crystal gayle is 65 and Loretta Lynne is 84
What for real
they're all brother and sisters
STILL 67-68-69.
Marry. Robins elpaso
Crystal Gayle became a better singer through the years. Her voice wasn't all that great when she was younger.
Yes sister!
Nice song
Nice song
