Loretta Lynn born Loretta Webb (April 14, 1932 - October 4, 2022) was an American country music performer. She was one of the leading country vocalists and songwriters of all time. With an impoverished upbringing, a devoted yet troubled marriage, Lynn's own life often provided the grist for her popular tunes. Her best-selling 1976 autobiography, Coal Miner's Daughter, was made into an Oscar-winning hit film starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. She won numerous awards, including an honorary doctorate, three Grammy Awards, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988.
