Loretta Lynn is the undisputed QUEEN of country music. Her career spanned 6 decades. She received more awards than any other female country artist. She died October, 2022 at 90 years old.

Now do her sassy songs Fist City, The Pill, You Ain't Woman Enough and so many more. Loretta sang her truth always.

This song is from a time when the family and society were still grateful for the sacrifices fathers made out of pure love.

She is country royalty 🙌

Loretta Lynn (RIP) was the Queen of Country Music. She was real, and she wrote and sang about real life, often autobiographical. Several of her songs were banned from radio stations because of content eg The Pill. She was the first woman to win Entertainer Of The Year from the CMA. Thanks for discovering this legend!

This is the story of my Daddy’s life. Literally grew up one “holler” over from Butchers Hollow. My grandpa worked the coal mines. No shoes in the summer, mail order clothes…. This song is in my DNA.

Loretta Lynn was truly royalty. She rose from the MOST humble circumstances to the peak of her craft. What a woman!

Robert, as someone whose parents were from the Great Depression, I agree with you. I've done everything from cleaning toilets to becoming an Army Officer. I'm glad you recognize your roots and embrace your past.

My mom was both a coal miner's daughter and a coal miner herself. This is a family anthem for us.

Loretta was considered a rebel - and she earned that title! She sang about subjects so controversial in her era that some songs were banned! LOVE HER!!!!!

The Queen of Country Music, Miss Loretta Lynn. Bow down, y'all.

Loretta was married at 14 back in the hills of Kentucky.. All of her music was about her life experiences.. Starting with a baby (her) having babies... her music is legendary in country.. The Queen of Country.. The Movie Coal Miner's Daughter was her life... Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for the role of Loretta. Just the kindest, sweetest, SASSY woman ever... RIP

I recommend " you ain't woman enough" and " don't come home a drinkin". She wrote songs about her real life. This song is her autobiography

Loretta Lynn Coal Miners Daughter is a true song. She is singing of where she came from. Her sister Crystal Gayle also sings

Bless all the men who work hard for their family. And the women who have to work even harder bc he won't!

So touching to hear you talk about your mother and the values she taught you. We all wonder off from " our raising " when we're young , happily as we grow older we realize how special our loving parents were, and they did know what they were talking about after all!

The thing about it is Loretta Lynn was a coal miner's daughter and this song is about her childhood rest in peace Loretta

Now you gotta watch the movie of the same name. Loretta Lynn is Country music and American Royalty! She, along with my other favorite Patsy Cline (and Loretta’s best friend) are a couple of QUEENS! ♥️

She became the queen of country music. That's all.

When I was a teenager in 1977, I worked at a concert and basketball venue in Lexington Kentucky. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty came and did a concert there. I believe the entire population of Butcher Holler, Kentucky, her hometown, was in the audience that night. After the concert, she and Conway sat on the stage at a table and signed autographs and took pictures for over 2 hours. She was the most gracious person who ever sang on that stage.

Loretta is one of the queens of country music! I think you'll love her songs: You're not woman enough to take my man, Fist City, and The Pill. ❤

My grandpa worked in the mines for over 40 years, daddy worked in the mines until a rock fall killed his buddy and trapped him deep in the mines. He was rescued but quit and went off to college, never returning to the mines. The best country song about coal mining was sung by a cousin of Loretta Lynn, Patty Loveless. Listen to You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" especially the live version at Austin City Limits. It is fire.

Loretta Lynn died in 2022 at the age of 90. She was an influential singer/songwriter who, as you may have guessed, wrote about her life. If she and her husband had a fight, she wrote a song about it. They married when she was 14 and she had the first of 6 children when she was 16. Her sister, Crystal Gayle, is also a famous country singer. Crystal is only 73 yo now. Her signature song is "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Country music is very interesting. Most of these songs are about the lives of ordinary people and the hard lives they have endured.

My mom loved Loretta Lynn so much. Definitely brings back memories.

This was Loretta’s life. Most of her songs were stories of the life she lived.

The old country musicians were THEE best storytellers.

Thank you so much for this reaction!!! The late Great Loretta Lynn passed away in October 2022. I live in Oregon, but I grew up listening to hers, and many other country artists growing up. One of the other Legends from that time was Patsy Cline. They were friends. You can see that in the movie "Coal Miners Daugher". But my late mother loved the ladies of country. Crystal Gayle (Loretta's sister) Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette. There are more, but I can't think of their names at the moment. But Loretta was controversial in her songs. She also colab'd with Conway Twitty. When I was a kid I thought he was married to Loretta because I was barely in grade school when my mom was listening to these women. Loretta Lynn was also my very first concert when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I LOVED that concert!! I hope you listen to more of hers and others in country from that era because their story telling was AMAZING!!!! You should check out Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear" as well. :D

You're making me cry now... praise to your mom... she raised a good son..

Loretta Lynn was the matriarch of country music meaning she was the longest living grand old Opry member with a career over 60 years

Loretta is an absolute icon. She, Kitty Wells, and Patsy Cline paved the way for “girl acts” in country music. A legend indeed.

My father-in-law worked in a tire factory...he & his wife raised 9 children...took care of the elderly that had no one....there were times that there were 21 people at the dinner table...their 9 children...the elderly who had come to stay a bit...children that had nowhere to go and themselves...mother in law loved them all...they were a good example to follow...💛

My mom was a coal miners daughter!!! Growing up poor in the 30's & 40's she had some good stories!!

This song was about her life and the way she was raised . She was a country legend

This is her life story. She was married at 14 to a man 10 years older than her. They were married 50+ years. My mother was raised across the railroad tracks from her. She moved to Washington state with her husband when she was about 15. She is absolutely the Queen of country music!

This is her life's true life's story. A very popular song in the 60's. She wrote many songs in her life times. Now her granddaughter sings this song on u tube. Loretta Lynn was the queen of country music for 60 years. I love her music. She also sang a lot of songs with Conway Twitty that were very popular.

My Daddy grew up in the country, one of 11 kids farming. Later he was a Firefighter, along with a mechanic and he could fix anything. Sweetest Daddy a girl could ever ask for. He raised me with country music and I later played it on FM Country Radio. He taped every one of my shows. I miss him terribly. 3/30/2019.

Wow. That hit my soul hard. My dad is just like that. Working hard to make sure we girls always had what we needed. Now he has cancer and we are trusting in god to help him recover. Hit me in the feels.

She was such a rebel. Love her. No filter, she gave new meaning to zero sugar coating. I’m glad you gave it a listen.

I love your reaction to this. I wish other people will listen to stories from “other” people and recognize that we’re really all just people, doing our best.

Great Reaction. My mother was a coal miner's daughter, and one of her sisters (my aunt) was named Loretta. My grandfather moved the family away from the mines after three decades. I sometimes think about where I would be if he had stayed. My father was a farmer and we grew nearly everything we ate. Her brother served in Vietnam and retired from the Air Force after 23 years. My childhood was only one step removed from this song.

Damn every time I here this song, it brings tears to my eyes. I was raised by a aunt and uncle were were poor in objects, but rich with love and that's all we needed.

There is poor in every race...but this is what built America...but is that really poor or the best life ever...things don't make you happy...to love and be love is what life is about...helping humanity. Your mom raised a wonderful man.

Great story…. Same values were instilled by my parents. Loretta had a long career with many more hits …. Married at 15 she had 4 children by 20 then began her singing career initially to make a little bit of money to help support her family. She had twins later in her thirties. Her eldest was 12 when she recorded her first album in 1960. She recorded 70 albums was nominated for 18 Grammys had 24 #1 hits on the country charts and 11 #1 albums

Loretta Lynn was my first favorite female country singer back in the 60s. She was definitely the Queen. She and Patsy Cline toured together. Dolly Parton was in the next group of women to follow. Women who grew up poor and wrote about it and made a career from it. They helped to teach me about hard work and dedication (along with my family).

My grandmother was born in Oklahoma's Indian territory in 1902. She attended a 1 room school (only up to 8th grade... unless the child was exceptional) near a creek. After school, she walked to the train station and sold tickets. They washed clothes in that creek. My grandfather was a drafted WWI soldier who fought in the trenches at Argonne Forest. He was educated, but they made him a private. He nearly died there. After the war, he went to Oklahoma and got an engineering degree and worked on WPA projects. That's how they met ... at the train station!!! People were much stronger and determined back then. They didn't complain. They didn't expect everything to be handed to them. They appreciated family and relied on each other. I wish i could have met my grandfather, but he died fairly young as a result of his time in france in the winter.

That's one of the most beautiful and heartfelt reactions I've ever heard on YouT.

I thank your Father for his service.

I'm a coal miner's granddaughter: he mined soft coal in Iowa after he and grandma immigrated from Sweden. One of my fun memories is going out along the railroad tracks to collect spilled coal from the train cars; we used it in the coal furnace at the house.

This is why it's so important for us all to expose ourselves to a wide range of musical genres and artists. Sometimes it takes something unfamiliar to wake us up and touch our souls.

Some of the best duets in country music are by Loretta and Conway IMHO

There’s a movie about her life called “Coal Miner’s Daughter”, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones that’s excellent!!! She started having babies as a teenager.

Loretta Lynn, the First Lady of Country Music 🏆Married at 14 and wrote all her music; grew up dirt poor. You have GOT to watch the movie of the same name; it is based on her Autobiography; fantastic true story, and killer soundtrack ❤

Loretta Lynn came from very humble beginnings, married as a young teenager, had 4 children by 17, and then had twins just as her music career started taking off. Se wrote most of her own material, said what she thought if you liked it or not, had a very hard love story with her only boyfriend/husband (yes, he would get drunk and hit her...and she would hit him back twice!), her husband literally had to make her go on stage in the beginning, she was so scared (she would get 4-day migraines, she was so stressed), although he cheated and could be abusive, he believed in her more than anyone else and pushed her to be the best she could be. She died living her motto: Never Quit, Never Retire. She was forced by health problems to stop touring, but she continued writing and recording songs. She was in the middle of a 5 album deal when she died, recently javing released yet another award winning album. She went from nothing to a net worth of $65Million...never forgetting where she came from, calling her fans "friends" because they afforded her to give her children a better life than she had, opening her ranch and campground to the public so they would have a place to stay when they visited, and thanking God for all her Blessings. She died peacefully in her sleep with over 3,000 songs she wrote but hadn't recorded yet.

LOretta was an original rags to riches story... may she rest in peace. She was the queen.. !!!

She is the Queen of country music boo !!! this woman is legendary do more of her but first watch her movie coal Miners daughter ...

Your Mama knew that you loved her. She planted a harvest in you to come due when you were grown. She always knew you would come back to your roots. That's what good Mama & Daddy's do

This is all real for Loretta Lynn. She wrote this from her heart and her life.

Thanks for the authenticity @BlackPegasusRaps . I am truly appreciating regardless of genre, if we pause to listen, the lyrics will tell us a story of the human drama. Loretta Lynn and her sister Crystal Gail both sang from the heart and soul.

Great reaction. Loretta Lynn is a long but worthwhile rabbit hole. There are many great suggestions in the comments. I would also suggest her duets with Conway Twitty. A couple of great examples of them singing together "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" and "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly"

Thank you for reviewing Loretta Lynn & sharing your story ...

I was fortunate enough to meet Loretta Lynn, she was a genuine, loving, kind ,soul .❤

Amen!

Loretta Lynn is one of the all time greats!

Brah.. I love you! This was my mothers life story as well. My mother passed a little over a year ago. This song now tears my heart out. Love your take on this! Love.

Fist City is a great one from Loretta 😊 Thanks for sharing about your mom. A lot of people tend to stray a bit as young adults. Your mom raised you with the right values and it shows.❤😊

Coal Miner's Daughter was a great movie of Loretta's life starring Sissy Spacek in an Oscar-worthy performance. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look. I appreciate your honesty and sincerity, even when confronted with a genre of music that I'm sure is entirely out of your comfort zone. Nice reaction as usual.

I love these ones from her Van Lear Rose/Lay Me/ She's an angel. So good. At her memorial, various country artists performed all her songs. Her grand daughter and Willie Nelson's son did 'Lay Me Down' and it was really awesome. She died in October 2022.

That is her true story.. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Queen of Country Music.

Yas! You found Loretta!! Her music is legend. My teen heard "Ain't Woman Enough" and was shocked at the shade in the lyrics.

Thank our heavens above y’all are getting it finally , spread the word , !! She wax great !! ❤ thank you for sharing Loretta Lynn Thank you Black Pegasus for learning my music I grew up with , ps I have. Bee Gees Album still 😂

Bow to the queen of country

This is absolutely an autobiographical song. There is a great movie of the same name, which chronicles Loretta Lynn's life and rise to fame. Sissy Spacek won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Lynn.

country music is so much about life and story telling......so glad you have found it.... love watching your reactions.....

Both my parents were almost this poor growing up (in Michigan)....mom's fam from Detroit, dad's fam from a farm in the north. I remember hearing about their hard times, and both sets of my grandparents' even worse times, from their respective European countries. Now here I am, typing my thoughts to you in my own warm house on this piece of technology. I take nothing I have, or am, for granted, and am so thankful I had good parents who instilled traditional values in me and my siblings.❤ I'm grateful for the better life we have now, and I wish the same for the younger generations in our family. Music like this touches me too, and it's among my favorite. R.I.P. Loretta

She actually lived this story. ❤

Happy New Year.. Loretta Lynn married at 13. Heck of a woman

My daddy grew up on a potato farm during the 1930’s depression. He gave me those values and my husband and I worked hard, still working. I wish kids today had those work ethics or experiences. Would change a lot of what is wrong now.

❤❤❤ Awesome 👌 Hank Williams Sr. Is even an older generation of country 😊 so can't wait for you to react to him!!!!!!

Great reaction to one of the best county songs ever.

She’s from where my dad is from, my grandfather worked at the coal mine and farmed too. That was the way of life back then. So many suffered from Black Lung to make a poor man’s dollar and farmed to have food to eat. 💗

You are an awesome man! Wise beyond your years! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤

Coal Miner’s Daughter will always be one of my fave movies.

This is the story of Loretta Lynn! They made a movie by the same name! Sissy Spacek played the part of Loretta Lynn.

I knew her due to our love of Walking horses Not a big fan of her music but love the person she was. Hope to meet her when God calls us all home

She's singing facts of her life.

This was my mother’s favorite song. She grew up on her father’s farm but when times were harder grandpa worked in the.coal mine at night while working the farm in the day time. They made the story of Loretta Lynn’s life into a movie and called it Coal Miners Daughter. I remember the day I took her to see the movie.my mother and her family and I all grew up in Western Colorado.

Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" is similar. It'll bring a tear to your eye.

She was so Amazing! She married young, and had a passle of children, and became a Great Star. There is a movie about her, i wish you'd watch it. She wrote many great songs. She died in 2022, and was 90. Her little sister, Crystal Gail, was a singer as well, she became famous. DON'T IT MAKE MY BROWN EYES BLUE? and BLUE BAYOU, are Great!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

I think you would really enjoy Alabama- 40 hour week. It's a song paying homage to the hard workers doing thankless jobs.

FIST City, the Pill.... Loretta speaks the truth and pulls no punches!

My dad was a single father who raised us working for $1.75 an hour driving a forklift. We never had a clue we were poor until I was an adult. He had the "bills box" which was a shoe box under his bed, and he would tell us "Go play, I have to do the bills now.". We didn't even know what it was, but we knew it was important. Many lessons learned not to be greedy or always wanting things, I've never let money rule me. Because my dad. So when she says "Daddy always managed to get the money somehow", I can relate to that.

Loretta has the most hits that went to number 1 despite them being BANNED from country radio. If you want to hear how much of a badass this woman was I would highly recommend songs like Fist City, The Pill, You ain’t Woman Enough and Don’t Come Home from Drinking. Even though it isn’t as popular today as her banned songs like “The Pill”, I think “Rated X” is one of them that is worth a listen. This woman didn’t hold punches. Literally and figuratively. RIP to the Queen of Country. Great Reaction!

I had watched her on a show about her life and she said if you forget where you come from you won't know where you're going. So very true.

Thank you for sharing this. Makes my heart happy and glad. I grew up listening to to my parents country music. Then came the rhythm and blues and soul music for me but I love country music music too mostly praise and worship

You may recognize the name as there was a movie about her life called Coal Miner's Daughter. She wrote songs about her life. Try Fist City, Portland Oregon, You ain't Woman Enough. I was fortunate enough to see her perform live and she was awesome. After a few songs she told us to call out the songs we wanted to hear and she would perform what we asked for

Love Loretta and also love her little sister Crystal Gayle! Check out, Don't it make my brown eyes blue, and her long hair!!

My daddy did drywall (1970s)) so in cold months we did without a lot but my parents made sure we were loved. This song always reminds me of him. ❤

It's a heartwarming and fantastic movie.. "Coal Miners Daughter".. based on this song, based on Ms Loretta's life. Big stars in the movie and Sissy Spacek won an academy award for her betrayal of Loretta. I love it and this reaction shows me that it touched your heart too. Loretta's music is so real it touches everyone. She has lots of great songs and meant every one of them!! Thanks for taking the time to do this one.

Thank your father for his service

Queen of Country!!
