We remember Loretta Lynn (1932-2022)





Like the song goes, Loretta Lynn was born a coal miner's daughter in 1932.     She died in October 2022 at age 90.

She married very young and was a grandmother by age 29!

By the 1960s, Lynn was one of the most successful female performers in the world of country music.    

Great singer, great style.   Loretta was indeed one of the greats of country.
