A Few performers in country music have proved as influential and iconic as Loretta Lynn. At a time when women usually took a back seat to men in Nashville, Lynn was a voice of strength, independence, and sometimes defiance, writing and singing songs that spoke to the concerns of working-class women with unapologetic honesty.
Her voice’s strong but naturalistic and matched to tough, lively honky-tonk arrangements, reinforced the home truths of her songs, and her success blazed trails for other female country artists. Lynn’s a member of the Grand Ol’ Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame and has been honoured by the country music establishment while still doing things her own way.
Born: April 14, 1932
