Vic Dana cover


Vic Dana covered the song in 1965. His version reached number 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number 19 on the Canadian pop singles chart[3] and number 14 on both the U.S. and Canadian Adult Contemporary charts in early 1966.[4] He also reached number 34 in Australia.


Both Carl Belew and Vic Dana recorded the song under the title "Crystal Chandelier," however, all further covers used the title: Crystal Chandeliers in the plural, reflecting what is said in the lyrics.



Charley Pride cover


Charley Pride covered "Crystal Chandeliers" in 1967. The song was included on his number-one selling album, The Country Way. It was produced by Chet Atkins, who had also produced Belew's original rendition.


Pride's version became an instant hit, and received heavy airplay by Country radio stations.[5] Although it was never a hit on the American singles charts, it remains one of the most recognizable and enduring versions of the song.[5]
