LORETTA LYNN | 89

In the late 1950s, before her fame from movies, Loreta Lynn was just getting her career started by performing in local pubs. Not long after, she became a member of a band called Trailblazers. A decade later, she was able to release her first album, I’m a Honky Tonk Girl. Lynn’s musical career has spanned over six decades and the uber talented American country singer-songwriter managed to release over 45 million albums in that period!

Some of her most popular hit songs include Don’t Come Home A’ Drinking (With Lovin’ on Your Mind), You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man), and Coal Miner’s Daughter. These were successful across the globe and earned her multiple gold albums. In 1988, Lynn was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Despite the health challenges that she has faced, there’s no stopping this artist from always giving her best. No wonder she’s so loved by both fans and her industry colleagues.
