she started from nothing, made it big, made good business decisions and stayed relevant till the day she died. You can't do much better in this world.♥️♥️♥️

No other way to say it than to say Loretta had balls of steel. There will never be another quite like her.

One of my favorite stories about her (among so many) is when she was giving Charlie Pride an award and because he was black they told her to take two steps back and shake his hand. So, what does she do, gives him a hug. She was the female Johnny Cash and her last few albums prove that too. The end of her career was some great tunes

You’re a good man for making this video. Her and Dolly Parton are national treasures. Made me so happy a few years back to see Loretta and Jack White collaborate together. Even the Grateful Dead covered her with Donna Jean

I totally agree with you 💯 %percent. The bades country music 🎵🎶 singers of all time 💖🙏❤️🌹👃💕💞😘💞😘 RIP Queen of country music 🎶😭 we lost a gem 💎😭 gone but never forgotten.

There will never be anyone like her EVER! She spoke to all walks of life. She was us. She sang to us. Country Music will never be the same. Class and dignity but total bad ass!!

The greatest woman to have been in country music. Her voice, charms, and stone cold lyrics puts her up top in my books, she'll be missed but never forgotten.

Loretta Lynn , Lynn Anderson , Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton , their music can never be copied and will live on forever .

That's a great tribute Michael to Loretta Lynn. She paved the way for every female country artist. 3 chords and the truth.

Thanks for doing this for "Loretty" as my grandma used to call her. When I was young I used to be embarrassed that I loved Loretta Lynn. The culture told me she was corny, but her songs were irresistible. She described a world I understood and recognized. Her sentiments were those of the poor southern women I knew. She was loud and proud, blunt and to the point, and every time I heard her sing it gave me a private thrill. Her music meant something. Her voice spoke to us females down in Dixie. Loretta was badass. Her duets with Conway Twitty are the definition of what it is to slay in music. I stopped being embarrassed about my love for all things Loretta when I realized that all that matters is quality; genre is irrelevant. Great art will always pierce the mediocre or guarded heart. Loretta had a huge quiver of arrows and though I worship Dolly, Loretta will always be the queen,.

Absolute legend. Coal Miner's Daughter always makes me think of my nan and reminds me to have pride in my working class background!

Loretta was a Pioneer and a legend! Thank you so much for honoring her here❣️

Love this. Thanks Michael. I grew up listening to Loretta (and Loretta and Conway - what a duo!), the best quality country music one could hope to hear.

When I was a teenager in 1978, I worked at a venue in Lexington KY called Rupp Arena. Used for basketball games, concerts, etc. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty did a concert and they put on a fantastic show. I do believe that the entire population of Butcher Holler KY was in the audience that night. After the show, Loretta and Conway sat at a table on stage and signed autographs, took pictures and generally greeted their fans. They sat there for over 2 hours until every single person was happy with that experience. Two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.

When I hear her I remember my Dad singing along in our car. She lived a hard life growing up, so there is a truth to her songs you don’t hear anymore. Lyrically she was fantastic all her songs are stories about life and challenges she saw or lived through. Yet with all her fame and fortune she stayed that amazing humble person from butcher holler. That life made her love and help many others that crossed her life path. I have been listening to her for two solid days. And yes she was all woman and all bad ass at the same time.

I just love your passion for this - It's so infectious.

I was weaned on Loretta I love Loretta Lynch he's my hero

Some of us pick these Artists up from there family. Thanks mum and dad, love yous and like everyone else never will forget yous R.I.P

The era that Loretta Lynn comes from could’ve only existed then. The world has moved on now and even though a significant percentage of current entertainers appreciate the vintage stuff, very few are in touch with what made Loretta’s music and others from her era so enjoyable. I will say That Charley Crockett is a throwback to earlier times and he totally gets the vintage era and you can hear it in his music. R.I.P. Loretta Lynn. Thanks Michael.

Loretta was the most punk rock country singer ever.

She was the Queen. Butcher Holler was just on the other side of the mountain behind my house growing up.

I’m an atheist and some of my favorite music is Appalachian gospel. Those people put so much passion and joy into the songs that you can’t help but be moved by it. Even though I don’t believe what they believe I can’t deny how real their feelings are to them. It’s powerful.

I'm with you on the gospel songs. They are the best and I can listen to them all day.

Happy to see a video about her, RIP

A video about Loretta Lynn that starts with an Amy winehouse quote? This is why I love ya Michael thanks for doing what you do

Loretta Lynn was such a incredible story teller, she helped build the legacy of storytelling in country music

Loretta was the Queen of Country Music...the one and only GOAT

Loretta Lynn. My favorite singer.

The musicians that backed a lot of the early country singers were great players .

such an icon! not only to music, but also the motocross community. she will be missed

My dad meet her years ago she was down to earth and invited him to eat with family and crew….what a lady.

Her Gospel albums are amazing. Pure and Gold

I can relate, brother. I am from West Virginia on the border of Kentucky, and my people come from Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Kentucky, and I myself am the son of a Coal Miner's Daughter. And I'm here to tell you, my little 5 foot tall Cherokee / Lenape grandmother definitely was the center of our matriarchal existence, and that is one who was born at the turn of the 20th century, and not only got through the Great depression, but did it proper. She taught me more than I will ever know. I miss her deeply, I miss her stories, I miss her strength. My 6'1 grandfather would not even give her any lip lol. Never underestimate the metaphoric Iron of a small Native woman that carries an even larger metaphoric stick. Great video brother!

Seeing Amy Winehouse made me think of what could have been! Drugs are devastating! 😢 Reba McEntire reminds me of a present-day Loretta Lynn. Nothing handed to her. Struggling to make it a career in country music. Now,Reba is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and very well respected!

Tammy Wynette : Stand By Your Man Dolly Parton : Jolene (Please Don't Take My Man) Loretta Lynn : Fist City (I Wish a Bitch Would!)

Perfect song to pick! This tune has been covered by so many other artists, including the Grateful Dead with Donna singing lead.

Thanks, Michael, for this tribute to Loretta Lynn! ❤️

Totally agree Michael! ❤

the stories are everything.

I’m really enjoying your videos lately the five songs to play for a funeral or when you lose someone that was unbelievable it just touched a chord with me this is also awesome.

Thank you for the beautiful tribute commercial free. Such a nice touch Michael. But that's who you are!

FIRE 🔥

Michael, one word response: Preach.

There will never be another Loretta was and always will be the greatest.

"Lead Me On" (with Conway Twitty) is one of the best duets ever recorded.

I was 10 in 1966. What a time to be alive!

Speaking of gospel, check out Tyler Childers new stuff. Particularly Way Of the Triune God

Thank you for saying this so well.

The American Motocross community loves Loretta! RIP

I have great respect for Loretta

Then there’s the story of Loretta singing that song one night. Some smart ass yelled out something to the effect that Dewy had been flirting with her. Loretta took off after her, from the stage, running along table tops in the bar to attack that woman. What a rig, lol. And she wrote and sang progressive songs, like ‘ The Pill’, referencing the birth control pill. We lost a great woman.

Before country became a joke. She and her peers were amazing.

Thank you for this. Bluegrass gospel is AMAZING

Nice tribute, country music is American folk and just as with all other folk music its a way of telling stories to be passed down the generations. Listening to the music the happy go lucky and jaunty music often masks very dark and sad tales where the pain of the words is minimised by the upbeat of the music. There are many exceptions to this where minor key music accompanies sad words but the fact that the music is often written by people who have survived tough times, this resilience comes through with an often dismissive attitude along the lines of; you it left me , it hurts you left me, whatever, I'll move on. It's like the music has already moved on while the words tell you why.

Awesome reaction! Thanks

Another Loretta Song where she just says, BACK OFF BECAUSE I AIN'T PLAYING. Is Ruby's stool.

I seen her over hundred of times became good friends of the family. I can assure you she was everything you expect her to be

I remember when Van lear Rose came out and it made me think, "Who the hell knew the greatest frontman of any rock band going is a 75 year old lady??" So darn good.

Michael you forgot to mention that she does it all in a party dress.

class lady and such an entertainer

Here’s a fun fact that we all should know Loretta Lynn was the matriarch of country music. She was the longest living grand old Opry remember with over a 60 year career, the queen of country music.

Loved Loretta

Haha she is so cool!

Well done, man…

I do recommend everyone watch the movie Coal Miner's daughter.

MY MOMMA IS SANGIN WITH LORETTA TONIGHT!! MY SISTER WAS NAMED AFTER LORETTA LYNN...

My favorite album of All Time is Van Lear Rose. Rest Easy Ms. Loretta.

There may be a few but I don't know of anybody tht didn't know Loretta Lynn was a bad ass . Our loss .

She sing like it’s Christmas

To make it in country music as a woman, you had to be willing to fight every day. She stood up and raised her fists when she needed to, and won her fight in the end. Classy to the end.

A queen. She so sweetly warned you that you’re gonna get hurt. 😂 Hey man, I can’t stand, and cannot be friends with meat heads and I think that’s so cool that your predominantly male family are chill and the ladies are tough.

Would love to see a vid on Minus the Bear

Loretta: The Original Riot Grrrl?

She's my distant cousin. On my mom's side. My mom's side. My grandpa's family left Kentucky when he was a kid though so we never knew her personally though.

Brother, which strap are you using? Looks really nice.

nice

Loretta wrote songs about her real life. Apparently Doolittle had a wandering eye.

She was so beautiful that Doo Little was right she didn't need any makeup 💄😭 all she used was a little lipstick, and rouge very little rouge because she had beautiful 😍❤️ skin. There are not many women's that could get away with out makeup 😔💄😭. I can't name 📛 one woman ♀️👠😍❤️💞💯🙏👠 who could pull that off.

Please listen to Dear Uncle Sam this was recorded during Vietnam war

Tammy Wynette also has "Sally Trash", but sang to the man as an option.

It's hard not to say it. Listen to the pill and youll now why.

And here's another SRV video, of a sound check. Best sound check in history. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndhyoLSosbnQdKs.html

Mrs Loretta may have written songs about or sang about cheating however she was faithful to Dew even when he wasn’t to her and made a career singing to take care of her family., The songs wasn’t about her approaching a man’s wife, it was about her approaching a woman he was cheating with.. If you watched the movie Coal Miner’s Daighter about her life or Sweet Dreams about her friend Patsy’s (Virginia’s) life you’d know that. So I agree with being her fan however your interpretation isn’t correct.

You have the music to loud

I’m going to politely disagree. Women fighting over a man has never been cool. Dis the dude, not the woman.

really going out on limb here🙄

Country music is some hokey crap. I thought this was a guitar instructional channel. Moving on.
