Crystal Gayle (Brenda Gail Webb)

Crystal is best known for her 1977 country-pop crossover hit, "Don’t It
Make My Brown Eyes Blue", she accumulated 20 number one country
hits during the 1970s and 1980s (18 on Billboard and 2 on Cashbox)
with six albums certified Gold by the RIAA. Crystal Gayle became the
first female artist in country music history to reach Platinum sales with
her 1977 album, "We Must Believe in Magic". She is the younger sister
of singer Loretta Lynn.

“At the Hop" became one of the top-selling singles of 1958. It also
hit number one on the R&B Best Sellers list.

"My Sweet Lord" was Harrison’s first single as a solo artist and was also
at the center of a heavily publicized plagiarism suit due to its similarity to
the Ronnie Mack song "He’s So Fine", a 1963 hit for the New York group
the Chiffons. In 1976, a New York state judge found Harrison guilty of 
copyright infringement. The ruling resulted in a legal battle that carried 
on until 1998, with Harrison paying $587,000. He claimed to have used 
the out-of-copyright "Oh Happy Day", a Christian hymn, as his inspiration
for the song’s melody.
 

The song reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the second British
recording to reach No. 1 on that chart in the year, after “Stranger on the
Shore” in May, and was also a number one hit in the UK. It was the second 
instrumental single to hit No.1 on both the US and UK weekly charts. 

”Telstar” was named after the world’s first communication satellite which
was launched by the US earlier in the year  and proceeded the Beatles’
chart debut by 13 months.
