Crystal Waters's 1991 debut single "Gypsy Woman" was a global house-pop phenomenon, topping charts worldwide. Its distinctive bassline and Waters's spoken-word vocals made it an instant classic.
- "Gypsy Woman" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a top 10 hit in multiple countries, including the UK, Germany, and Australia. The song was co-written and produced by The Basement Boys, a production collective from Baltimore.
- The iconic bassline was reportedly inspired by a sample that Crystal Waters's neighbor was playing. She asked him to loop it so she could write lyrics over it.
- Despite its success, Waters was initially hesitant to release "Gypsy Woman," feeling it was too unconventional for mainstream radio. The song's success launched her career and paved the way for future dance-pop crossovers.
