Lynn’s life and career were the stuff of country music legend, set in stone with her bestselling 1976 autobiography, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” and the 1980 hit movie it inspired. Raised in poverty in the hills of Kentucky, she married as a young teen and had four children in quick succession. But the trajectory of her life changed when her husband b...
Lynn’s early life was one filled with music – she sang in the church choir and at home, where singing filled the family home regularly. Her whole family sang, including her younger sister, Brenda, who would later become famous as country singer Crystal Gayle. But Lynn didn’t dream of becoming a country music star. Singing was just woven into the fa...
“I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” like many of Lynn’s other songs, was written in response to something that happened to her in her daily life. In this case, it was a boozy conversation she had with a woman at a bar where Lynn was playing. The conversation, set to the music of the Bakersfield Sound and laid down on seven-inch vinyl, made it to No. 14 on the...
Her career began to blossom with her first record, 1961’s “Loretta Lynn Sings” for Decca, yielding the No. 6 single “Success.” 1963’s “Before I’m Over You” took her into the top five with the title track and “Wine, Women, and Song.” By the mid-1960s, Lynn was soaring to the top of the charts and establishing her reputation for writing no-nonsense s...
As Lynn continued writing songs about everyday events, she found that some of her bluntly honest songs were magnets for controversy. Among the earliest was 1968’s “Fist City,” a delightfully titled invitation to a throwdown with a woman who had been flirting with Doolittle. With lyrics including “If you don’t wanna go to Fist City you’d better deto...
In the end, the controversies probably did more to help Lynn’s career than to hurt it. She charted 11 No. 1 solo hits in the 1960s and ‘70s, among them the autobiographical “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and the Shel Silverstein (1930–1999) composition “One’s on the Way.” A fruitful partnership with fellow country star Conway Twitty (1933–1993)yielded ano...
As her career reached the stratosphere with that greatest honor, “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was released in theaters in March 1980. It brought Lynn, a major star in a niche genre, to the attention of a broad audience who loved her rags-to-riches tale. Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her portrayal of Lynn, and she was hand-picked by the singer herself, w...
Though the autobiographical film brought Lynn’s life story to a widespread audience, it didn’t represent a new height for her career. Instead, she held steady in the early 1980s, with songs that charted but didn’t reach the No. 1 spot. In the late ‘80s and through the ‘90s, Lynn slowed down, recording fewer albums and touring less as Doolittle’s he...
Performing and touring were crucial to Lynn’s career, and she offered respect and attention to her fans. She stayed onstage after her shows, often for hours, signing autographs for anyone who asked. She told Time in 2016, “I would sit sometimes three to four hours after a show and sign every autograph till the last one left. About three years ago I...
As the fans loved Lynn, so did the critics, and she was much honored over the years. She won armfuls of Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, American Music Awards, and more, making her the record holder of most awards won by a woman in country music. In 1977, she became the first female country star to be included in Hollywood’s Walk of...
