it's quite amazing that both Crystal Gayle and her sister Loretta Lynn not only both starred on The Muppet Show, but became some of the greatest country singers America will ever know, their parents, brothers, sisters and children would be very proud of them
I had SUCH a massive crush on this woman as a kid. Beautiful, and what a voice! And I'm 99% certain she's why I'm addicted to women with long, dark hair. :-)
This woman took ahold of my in the early spring of 1986 when I was in the 7th grade. I have always had a lust for brunettes. I would have to say that she was was my first celebrity crush. I am almost 50 now and I still feel the same way
I agree with you there. I had the biggest crush on this woman during 7th, 8th, and 9th grade. I am almost 50 years old now and I still feel the same way. Brunettes make my temperature rise. She is really great
The same here. She was my first love in country music. I have to confess that brunettes make my heart pound and make my temperature rise and that it all started when I seen her on the TV and heard her sing. She is really great
I am really pleased to have come across this clip. I remember it well from the original airing nearly 30 years ago. Always good to see stars not taking themselves too seriously. This is my favourite Crystal Gayle song so I am even more happy.
I loved the Muppets and Crystal Gayle. When I was young the family sat down to watch the show together. This brings back fond memories. To bad the show is off the air. The voice is amazing and she is a beautiful woman.
This woman took ahold of my heart in the early spring of 1986 when I was in the 7th grade. I confess that I have always had a lust for brunettes. I first saw a video of a concert that she did around 1982. I was 12 and a half years then and this lady took ahold of my heart. I will be 50 in 5 weeks and I still feel the same way today. She is really great
I totally agree with you my friend. Crystal Gyale is a truly great singer of country and popular music. Her beauty comes from within and sparkles when she sings. I have always loved and admired her too. Happy listening !!!
I remember going NUTS when this came on the show!!!!!! I've always been a huge fan of this song. (I even have this album framed n my wall.) Thank you for posting this vid, the memories are great. I can still recite the lyrics, almost perfectly still....20 or so years later. lol
I love Crystal so much. She sang this song last night at her concert and mentioned the Muppets. She is so lovely and elegant. I was in awe of her last night. Some of us were talking and think she either is wearing extensions these days are dyed her hair very jet black and looks much thicker these days. Regardless, she is so beautiful!!!!!!!
my dear mom used to run away from my dad's tyranny when i was a teenager. She went on the highway, and this song, River Road, reminds me so much of her...chasing her dreams, though she married a pretty good man, she got that urge to run...and we had a River Road nearby, but it was a logging road. So my dear Mom hitch-hiked on our highways, and with a shopping bag in hand, always got a ride to her friends not far from our house. So my mom tried her best to be a free spirit. Bless her Frances!
Hey Cristal this song reminds me of the time I visited the USA in May 1980 and where we rented a car in New Jersey and drove all around the USA in two months with my girlfriend. She now is in heaven but just as I will always remember her I will never ever 4get River Road which followed us in the car all around till up to Canada. Thank you Crystal Gavle for these wonderful memories I had in beautiful USA
Just felt like adding this. Just today I came across this song and so thrilled about it. I searched for this song with the wrong heading may be. These are ever lasting songs and we dont get this kind of music any more. Such a classical hit with a catchy tune and a soothing voice
I agree with you there. Crystal Gayle is a beautiful woman inside and out. She has reached out to so many people over the years and has so many friends. She is really great
Just a fantastic video she is a beautiful looking lady and has a fantastic voice. I loved the muppets when they were on back in the 80s . Just a classy lady with beautiful long hair excellent.
Oh my gosh!! I've been feeling so down and like running away from my life.. but today, seeing and hearing Crystal Gayle has truly Made My Day so much better. I love her and all classic country music..sung straight from the heart! Thank you so much for this pick me up..Just loving it. 💖😇🌸
I love this track. I must have hard it last - at least thirty years ago - but it stayed with me all that time. The song itself is hauntingly evocative as really only the best Country and Western music can be. Crystal's voice is gorgeous and she seems to be having so much fun she comes across as deliciously, naturally sexy. Given the chance i'd have liked to run away down River Road with her. S.x.
Oh dear. This makes me feel so old! I was thinking to myself that I saw this just a couple of years ago, but it's more than thirty years old. Lovely looking girl though. I might get her as my next tattoo. I've never seen a Crystal Gayle tat.
What I love about the old Muppet Show clip is that there's no real jokes. They're mostly playing this straight, and what jokes there are are pretty unobtrusive.
This song always reminds me of River Road here in SW BC, Ladner/Delta area - used to drive along it to meet my friends in North Delta early 80’s….many moons ago…
She was the reason I wanted to run away from home at 8yrs. Told my Mom, she okay see you later. Was home later that night. She asked, I thought you were running away. Told I got hungry.
I saw her sing in person in Tennessee , USA, about 5 years ago in a country music hall. They said she was 60 yers old then and she looked just as young with long hair.,
RU-vid keeps suggesting this song for me, and I've probably watched, and enjoyed, it about a dozen times. I like when Crystal sings that she has her "suitcase in my hand" she holds up the cheesy, empty suitcase. The whole video is visually cheesy - she's just bouncing up and down, not walking anywhere - but it's appealing and funny, anyway. And her voice is beautiful ...
