Crystal Gayle

She is also noted for her trademark long hair, which reaches right down to the floor.
. From October 1987 until March 1996, her duet was the theme song for the serial. In 1991, Guthrie bought the church that had served as Alice Brock's former home, which had been made famous by the song, and converted it to the Guthrie Center (http://www.guthriecenter.org), an interfaith meeting place that serves people of all religions. In 1987, she guest-starred on the soap opera Another World and sang a duet with Gary Morris. He collaborated with poet Adrian Mitchell to tell the story of Chilean folk singer and activist Víctor Jara in song. Gayle continues to record and perform, but has not achieved the same level of commercial success she enjoyed in the late 1970s. Like his father, Woody Guthrie, Arlo often sings songs of protest against social injustice.

She continued achieve success on the country charts, with such songs as Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For, and achieved several hits on the pop charts including Talking In Your Sleep, Half The Way and a duet with Eddie Rabbitt, You And I. He also had a minor hit with his song "Coming into Los Angeles". She won a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for this single. Guthrie also made famous Steve Goodman's song "City of New Orleans", a paean to long-distance rail travel. Fuelled by the worldwide hit single Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, which reached number two on the US pop charts, the album became the first album by a female country and western artist to achieve platinum sales in the US. The song also provided the scenario (and much of the soundtrack) for the film Alice's Restaurant (movie). Her fourth album, We Must Believe in Magic (released in 1977) brought her to a wide audience. (compare with the song "Haddocks' Eyes" in Through the Looking-Glass).

Born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, Kentucky, Gayle began performing and recording during the early 1970s. To quote one of the song's Carrollian twists:. She is also the sister of singer Loretta Lynn. There are many parodies of the song as well. Crystal Gayle (born January 9, 1951) is an American country and western singer. Alice's Restaurant was revised and updated some years later to protest Reagan era policies, but the second version has not been released on a commercial recording. The first recording of the song was done at the exact same time as the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

The lyrics to the song can be found at this location on Guthrie's web site: [1] (http://www.arlo.net/lyrics/alices.shtml) Although it has some fantastical elements, it is based on a true story. "Alice's Restaurant" is regularly played on some radio stations every Thanksgiving. The song describes how Guthrie was hauled into court for littering some of Alice's garbage after discovering that the dump was closed for Thanksgiving, and because of the resulting criminal record he was eventually rejected as unfit for military service when he was called up for the draft. The characters in the story, including both Alice and "officer Obie", who arrested him, became famous in their own right as a result of the song. Alice, in this case, was restaurant owner Alice Brock, who lived in a former church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

The song, a bitingly satirical protest against the Vietnam War draft, recounts a true Thanksgiving adventure that began at Alice's Restaurant, where "you can get anything you want (excepting Alice)". His most famous work is "Alice's Restaurant", a story song that lasts 18 minutes and 20 seconds. He graduated from the controversial Stockbridge School of Massachusetts in 1965, and briefly attended Rocky Mountain College. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1947.
