  I'll Get Over You was a song made famous by country music singer Crystal Gayle. Written by Richard Leigh, the song became Gayle's first No. 1 country hit in 1976.

  In the mid 1970s, Crystal Gayle was trying to establish a recording career in Country Music. Gayle wanted one that was nearly as big as her sister's (her sister was none other than the Country legend Loretta Lynn) career. It was the help of her sister that helpled produce Gayle's first single called "I've Cried the Blue Right Out of My Eyes."

  However, it was the help of songwriter Richard Leigh who helped her gain control of her career. He wrote her first two big hits "Wrong Road Again" and "Somebody Loves You". In 1976, Gayle finally released "I'll Get Over You." The song in fact, became Gayle's first #1 hit and the song made Gayle a household name overnight.

  That same year, "I'll Get Over You" was released on her 1976 album "Somebody Loves You". Even today, after Gayle had scored over 15 number-one hits, "I'll Get Over You" remains as one of her best-known songs.
