Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn’s life story reads more like fiction than fact. It’s the story of a poorly educated woman from the coal mining hills of Kentucky, married at age thirteen and a mother at fourteen, who rose to become one of the most popular singers in country music. In 1970 Lynn’s recording of her signature song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” became one of her biggest hits. She had recorded three albums of duets with Ernest Tubb before recording her first song with Conway Twitty in 1970. In 1976 Lynn’s autobiography, appropriately titled Coal Miner’s Daughter, became a best seller and was made into a hit movie starring Sissy Spacek.
