Who doesn’t remember Crystal Gayle with a melodic and tuneful voice that could make the angels weep? Crystal Gayle sings a medley of country hits, and you won’t want to miss it!
In this mashup video, the singer performs a variety of classic songs including, “Let Me Be There” by Olivia Newton John, “Don’t Come A-Drinkin,” by her sister, Loretta Lynn, and her version of “I’ll Get Over You.”
The music clip opens with Gayle standing on a multi-level stage lit with lights. She walks out in a simple white dress with her famously long hair free and flowing down her back. With nothing but her microphone, she wows the audience with her array of songs, some of which the audience even sings along to.
Crystal Gayle was actually born Brenda Gail Webb in 1951. She was an American country singer and songwriter and began her musical career with her sister Loretta Lynn who helped her sign a recording contract with Decca Records in 1970.
Because her music was considered “middle-of-the-road” she crossed the lines between pop and country and was one of the most successful crossover artists of her time. Her biggest hits included "Ready for the Times to Get Better" (1977), "Talking in Your Sleep" (1978), "Half the Way" (1979) and "You and I" (1982.)
Gayle has won one Grammy Award and has been nominated for several others since the 1970s. She has also won five Academy of Country Music awards; those awards include receiving the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award in 2016.
Watch the video and see for yourself why the talented star was so beloved. Even the comments about the video are proof of her talent. One commenter said, “Pure talent. So interesting to witness her from the beginning and see a great talent to start with becoming ever-more greater. [sic] She is one of the most relaxed and natural of artists, vocally perfect.”
And another said, “Your voice is special. Just by hearing it I can know it's you, even if I haven't heard some of your songs, still I can distinguish it. That means you are original!”

The Darlings perform their hit ‘Dooley’ on The Andy Griffith Show, and this one will take you all the way back to Mayberry!
One of the most beloved comedy series of all time is The Andy Griffith Show. It ran for eight seasons starting in 1960. The show depicted the mostly serene goings-on in the fictional small town of Mayberry and in the lives of its sheriff, Andy Taylor, his son, their aunt, and the sheriff’s bumbling deputy, Barney Fife. Yet, it was episode eighty-eight that made a musical hit when The Darlings performed the song “Dooley.”
However, the band known on the show as The Darlings were actually The Dillards, an already established bluegrass band formed by Douglas Dillard, Rodney Dillard, Dean Webb, and Mitchell Franklin.
In this episode, the sheriff visits the Darling family in their home. Briscoe Darling, played by Denver Pyle, asks the sheriff if he brought his guitar. Of course, the sheriff didn’t think there was time to play music but Briscoe thought otherwise when he said, “Well, you got time to breathe, you got time for music,” before handing him a guitar.
Briscoe counts down and leads the impromptu music session with his whiskey jug and as his son begins to sing.
Dooley was a good ole man, he lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters, and a forty-gallon still
The Darlings added additional depth and character to the show as they were known to live in a mountain shack somewhere in the mountains neighboring Mayberry. They were a good-natured but trouble-making clan, and they only came into town to bug the sheriff when they had a problem they couldn’t resolve. However, the family formed a really talented bluegrass band. Briscoe was the widowed father of five grown children (four sons and one daughter) who all lived together, and each had a different musical talent.

It’s that time of year again! Time for those Christmas advertisements that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Check out this new Christmas short from Chick-fil-A that is sure to light a spark in your heart!
“One year after her trip to The Time Shop, Sam’s back! This year, things are a little different and the town can’t seem to get their lights working,” writes Chick-fil-A on their YouTube page. “Now it’s up to her to find a way to be the spark to light up her town in time for the holidays.”
At the beginning of the video, Sam rushes with her family to the town square and is excited to see all the Christmas lights. But things look different than what she anticipated.
“Where is everyone? Why aren’t the lights on?” she says as she looks up at the tall Christmas tree in the middle of the square.
“I don’t know, Sam,” says her mom. “Seems like everything’s off this year.”
That’s when Sam talks to the nearby electrician and asks him what he thinks may be wrong with the Christmas lights.
“Got me. Nothing’s working,” he says. “Hey, mind flipping that switch for me?”
She switches it but it doesn’t work, so she tries again.
“Third times a charm,” the man says. And when Sam flips it one last time, she is transported to a place called “Switch Works” that is covered in lights!
Sam meets a woman there who explains where she is, and Sam confides in her that she wishes there was a switch that she could use that would fix her town.
“There is no switch for that,” the woman says. “But all people need is a little hope, a spark, to light the way. And that can be in all of us.”
Sam then finds herself back in the middle of her town, and she learns how to be the spark that lights up everything around her.
“Spark hope and light the way this season,” reads the banner from Chick-fil-A at the end of the video.
What a sweet Christmas short that leaves us all with a great reminder! We are called to be God’s light and share His goodness and hope with the rest of the world!

World-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli and country music singer Alison Krauss perform a duet of ‘Amazing Grace’ on Good Morning America.
John Newton is the author of this beloved hymn. John wrote the hymn as a way of giving thanks to the Lord after God granted him new life. As a sailor, John was known for his crude language and actions. But one day at sea, John found himself caught in the middle of a terrible storm. After spending hours at the helm of the ship, John’s thoughts started to turn to God.
After surviving the weather, John started his life as a Christian and dedicated himself to serving the Lord. The beautiful words of ‘Amazing Grace’ were inspired by this incredible moment of self-revelation.
“Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see”
Today, Andrea Bocelli and Alison Krauss are coming together virtually for a stunning rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ on Good Morning America. Both artists are legends in their respective music genres and this duet is a beautiful compilation of these powerhouse vocalists.
“T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed”
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Country singer Emmylou Harris was moved to tears after the band ‘First Aid Kit’ performs a touching tribute song.
Like millions of other fans, many discovered their love for Emmylou Harris’ music at a young age. After all, she is an iconic legend when it comes to country music. So much so, sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg of the Swedish duo, First Aid Kit stood up to tell their story of how they fell in love with her music in their early teens.
“It was quite the musical revelation for us. We were so inspired that we wrote this song which is about the joy and the magic of singing together with someone that you love,” Johanna Soderberg said. What the band didn’t expect was that Emmylou would be sitting in the audience!
Would you be able to sing or even speak if you found out that one of your icons was sitting in the room? These two weren’t sure. But, the pair hit every note perfectly revealing a whimsey and beautiful love song:
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing, little darling, sing with me
The song references Emmylou’s romance with Gram who died in 1973. It also references the iconic romance of legendary Johnny Cash’s and his wife June Carter Cash.
What happens next is so sweet and tender. The 71-year-old music legend was caught on camera with tears streaming down her cheeks. She quickly removed her glasses and wiped her tears with a tissue as quickly as each tear fell.
When the audience thundered in applause, Emmylou raised her hands to clap above her head. It’s no wonder the First Aid Kit duo honored her. She has become one of music’s most revered voices, releasing close to thirty albums and collaborating with everyone from Dolly Parton to Bright Eyes across her 50-year career.
These young ladies embodied the words of 1 Timothy 5:17, “ Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.”
