Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jerry Gaskill recorded 'Crazy' in 1982, a song that became his most recognizable work. He was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1949 and grew up hearing gospel music, which influenced his approach to singing. Before 'Crazy,' he had signed with Curb Records in 1977.
Some listeners interpreted 'Crazy' as promoting domestic violence, though Gaskill explained it was meant to express a woman's desperation. After that song, he released albums like 'The Way I Feel' in 1983 and 'First Amendment' in 1985. He also worked with Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash.
Other songs in his catalog include 'Every Day,' 'Face the Day,' 'Faulty Start,' and 'Gallop.'
