Loretta Lynn is one of America’s cultural icons representing country music. Spanning a career that started in the 1960s, Loretta racked up more than 70 certified country music hits as a solo performer or a partner in a duet. Her life story was marked by an impoverished upbringing, a difficult marriage, and the death of her husband to illness in 1996. Her frenetic pace also led to her being chronically ill and exhausted. In 1976, she wrote her autobiography “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” which was made into a film starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. The film won for Spacek the 1980 Academy Awards for Best Actress. The film itself received nominations for Best Picture, Best Cinematography and others.

Loretta quit the musical scene in the early 1990s to care for her husband. She returned to touring in 1998 and returned to recording in 2000. With both her solo and duet performances, Loretta garnered 16 number one country music hits. She has written over 160 songs and released 70 albums of which ten became number one. She has won four Grammys, 7 American Music Awards, and 10 Academy of Country Music Awards. Loretta was the second of 8 children to a mining family from Butcher Hallow in Johnson County, Kentucky.
