Crystal Gayle at Southpoint Showroom

Crystal Gayle arrived on the music scene in 1970 with the hit single I've Cried (The Blue Right Out of My Eyes) and went on to earn Grammy awards and country music's affection. 

See the Wikipedia article on her history and work here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Gayle.

Her sweet sound is a lilting melody. She has been honored with a star on Hollywood's walk of fame and many, many awards. She is now in her early seventies and still performs to this day. Her hair still reaches the floor and this woman is as elegant and beautiful as ever. My family enjoyed her performance at the South Point Showroom in Las Vegas on September 16, 2016, where she played with her band. She returns on a yearly basis to entertain locals and visitors alike. Our hopes were not disappointed. She still sings true to her talent and it was an honor and wonderful privilege to see her.

I highly recommend catching Ms. Gayle's show where ever she appears. The song list and band members are worth the ticket price, which by the way are very reasonable. She has some amazing talent with her including her sister Peggy, who is also a singer and surprisingly a songwriter. Peggy co-wrote the song Don't Come Home a Drinkin with Lovin on Your Mind with Loretta Lynn and has written a few other fab country hits. Their famous sister Loretta Lynn recorded and performed the song on her tours. This is truly a blessed and talented family. If you love classic country don't miss this lovely lady in concert!
