Lynn, Loretta

Lynn, Loretta
orig. Loretta Webb

born April 14, 1935, Butcher Hollow, Ky., U.S.

U.S. country music singer.

Born in a coalminer's shack, Lynn married at age 13 and bore the first of six children the next year. In 1960 she released her first single, "Honky Tonk Girl," which became a hit. In 1962 she joined the Grand Ole Opry, and by the mid-1960s hits such as "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'" made her one of country's biggest stars. In 1970 she released her signature song, "Coal Miner's Daughter"; it provided the title of a best-selling autobiography and a popular film (1980). Her half-sister, Crystal Gayle (b. 1951), also had a successful recording career.
