Lynn’s autobiographical hit “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was published in 1969 and is widely considered to be her best work. She released an album by the same name in 1970. As a result of the album’s and single’s popularity, she published a book with the same name in 1976. The movie version of the book premiered in 1980.

On April 14, 1932, in a small village in rural Kentucky, Loretta Webb was born to Clara Marie “Clary” and Melvin Theodore “Ted” Webb. She was number two in a family of eight.

Lynn married her husband Oliver Lynn in 1948 at the tender age of 15. In 1996, Oliver sadly died away. They have six children as a couple. She was also the proud grandmother of 17 grandkids and the stepgrandmother of four.

Lynn had a strong affinity for Gospel music, despite the fact that some of her songs were deemed inappropriate for mainstream audiences.

Over the course of her career, Billboard reports that Lynn recorded three Gospel albums, including Hymns (1965) and Who Says God Is Dead! (1968).

April of this year saw her also using Instagram to share her Easter celebration with God.

Easter reminds me of the breathtaking splendor of genuine love. Unselfish love is the best kind. Selfless love, the kind that gives even when it gets nothing in return. Christ sacrificed himself for us so that we may have this. When I hear this song, one of my favorites by a gospel artist, I am filled with a sense of hope, redemption, and forgiveness,” Lynn stated in the video’s description.

For all God has done for me, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude that I can’t put into words. The Third Man is my all-time favorite gospel song,” she said.
