Crystal is the third album by Crystal Gayle, and rose to the #7 spot on the Billboard Country Albums chart. It contained four charting singles, including two #1 hits: "You Never Miss a Real Good Thing (Till He Says Goodbye)" and "Ready for the Times to Get Better." Another single, "I'll Do It All Over Again," just barely missed being the third chart-topper, stalling out at #2, while "One More Time (Karneval)" could only rise to #31.
