Did you know about Loretta Lynn?

She married Oliver Vanetta Lynn commonly known as "Doolittle" "Doo" or "Mooney" (for running moonshine) on January 10 1948. As a songwriter Lynn believed no topic was off limits as long as it spoke to other women and many of her songs were autobiographical.

She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s and in 1967 charted her first of 16 number-one hits (out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner) that include "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" "You Ain't Woman Enough" "Fist City" and "Coal Miner's Daughter".
