Crystal Gayle turned 60 last week! Her first single:

One of my favorites:

Such a lovely, beautiful performance...visually and audibly stunning. She really puts her all into every performance.

She's someone who used to always be on TV in the early '80s, that impossibly long hair etched in childhood memory. :blink: I know Dallas, the show and its Cowboys, had a lot to do with it, but there really was this country craze back then. We used to watch The Barbara Mandrell Show and Hee-Haw, I remember the Oakridge Boys and Kenny and Dolly and all of them being on TV a lot when I was little.

And of course her big sis "Lorettie" ("Dooooooo!")!

Yes, I love the whole country/country-pop renaissance of the early 80s. There's a nice, almost escapist sound to the music and the movies/TV that came out of it. You know Pam Ewing was shaking that flat ass to some Crystal Gayle when nobody else was home!

Here's one of my fave Barbara songs:

Yes, that's such a great period in music. Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden" really opened up crossover country, and then Dolly's "Here You Come Again" blew it into the stratosphere. I watched the Mandrell Sisters every week, and Dolly's 1976 variety show as well. That time had so many great songs, and even some one hit wonders that were really memorable, at least for me (She sounds alot like Barbara Mandrell)

Love Crystal Gayle! I remember a sneering journalist once wrote a book saying she was famous only for her hair and sister and belonged in Vegas, and wasn't real country, but I think she has a great country soul and I also like that she doesn't rely on all that awful schtick like Gretchen Wilson and never tried to pander.

Some of my favorite songs of hers:

      I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.

      Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself.

      I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By brisbydog · Posted

      Xander kidnapped her a few times when she was a baby I much prefer this bitchy version of Rafe to the dull one we have had for the past few years. Leo would get on my last nerve too and I would probably have snapped by now too. Loved Roman and Doug3. My favourite scenes today. Much better than his forced kindness to Ava. About time somebody pointed out Sophia is an adult any minute and can decide her own life. This is not Handmaid's Tale. I bet Mrs Choi snatches that baby though if Sophia signs it over to 'strangers'

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Hmm, well, I thought yesterday was "Dialog City" so at least IMO it was well done talk. Today I'm all about how harsh Dante just was to Gio & I get it that he's so scared but it's all coming out like anger - and judgment, harsh judgment. But, what they're doing is putting as much bad, troubling icky stuff between Dante & Gio as they can & it's a set-up. Good writing, acting, directing, tho. What's weird is I only recently realized that Lulu does not know it's Gio. However, I just had a thought. One day last week someone tried to kill Sonny & got killed. That wasn't words. That was action.
