she started from nothing, made it big, made good business decisions and stayed relevant till the day she died. You can't do much better in this world.♥️♥️♥️
You’re a good man for making this video. Her and Dolly Parton are national treasures. Made me so happy a few years back to see Loretta and Jack White collaborate together. Even the Grateful Dead covered her with Donna Jean
One of my favorite stories about her (among so many) is when she was giving Charlie Pride an award and because he was black they told her to take two steps back and shake his hand. So, what does she do, gives him a hug. She was the female Johnny Cash and her last few albums prove that too. The end of her career was some great tunes
There will never be anyone like her EVER! She spoke to all walks of life. She was us. She sang to us. Country Music will never be the same. Class and dignity but total bad ass!!
Love this. Thanks Michael. I grew up listening to Loretta (and Loretta and Conway - what a duo!), the best quality country music one could hope to hear.
Thanks for doing this for "Loretty" as my grandma used to call her. When I was young I used to be embarrassed that I loved Loretta Lynn. The culture told me she was corny, but her songs were irresistible. She described a world I understood and recognized. Her sentiments were those of the poor southern women I knew. She was loud and proud, blunt and to the point, and every time I heard her sing it gave me a private thrill. Her music meant something. Her voice spoke to us females down in Dixie. Loretta was badass. Her duets with Conway Twitty are the definition of what it is to slay in music. I stopped being embarrassed about my love for all things Loretta when I realized that all that matters is quality; genre is irrelevant. Great art will always pierce the mediocre or guarded heart. Loretta had a huge quiver of arrows and though I worship Dolly, Loretta will always be the queen,.
The greatest woman to have been in country music. Her voice, charms, and stone cold lyrics puts her up top in my books, she'll be missed but never forgotten.
The era that Loretta Lynn comes from could’ve only existed then. The world has moved on now and even though a significant percentage of current entertainers appreciate the vintage stuff, very few are in touch with what made Loretta’s music and others from her era so enjoyable. I will say That Charley Crockett is a throwback to earlier times and he totally gets the vintage era and you can hear it in his music. R.I.P. Loretta Lynn. Thanks Michael.
Then there’s the story of Loretta singing that song one night. Some smart ass yelled out something to the effect that Dewy had been flirting with her. Loretta took off after her, from the stage, running along table tops in the bar to attack that woman. What a rig, lol. And she wrote and sang progressive songs, like ‘ The Pill’, referencing the birth control pill. We lost a great woman.
When I hear her I remember my Dad singing along in our car. She lived a hard life growing up, so there is a truth to her songs you don’t hear anymore. Lyrically she was fantastic all her songs are stories about life and challenges she saw or lived through. Yet with all her fame and fortune she stayed that amazing humble person from butcher holler. That life made her love and help many others that crossed her life path. I have been listening to her for two solid days. And yes she was all woman and all bad ass at the same time.
When I was a teenager in 1978, I worked at a venue in Lexington KY called Rupp Arena. Used for basketball games, concerts, etc. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty did a concert and they put on a fantastic show. I do believe that the entire population of Butcher Holler KY was in the audience that night. After the show, Loretta and Conway sat at a table on stage and signed autographs, took pictures and generally greeted their fans. They sat there for over 2 hours until every single person was happy with that experience. Two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.
Seeing Amy Winehouse made me think of what could have been! Drugs are devastating! 😢 Reba McEntire reminds me of a present-day Loretta Lynn. Nothing handed to her. Struggling to make it a career in country music. Now,Reba is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and very well respected!
I’m an atheist and some of my favorite music is Appalachian gospel. Those people put so much passion and joy into the songs that you can’t help but be moved by it. Even though I don’t believe what they believe I can’t deny how real their feelings are to them. It’s powerful.
She was so beautiful that Doo Little was right she didn't need any makeup 💄😭 all she used was a little lipstick, and rouge very little rouge because she had beautiful 😍❤️ skin. There are not many women's that could get away with out makeup 😔💄😭. I can't name 📛 one woman ♀️👠😍❤️💞💯🙏👠 who could pull that off.
I totally agree with you 💯 %percent. The bades country music 🎵🎶 singers of all time 💖🙏❤️🌹👃💕💞😘💞😘 RIP Queen of country music 🎶😭 we lost a gem 💎😭 gone but never forgotten.
Here’s a fun fact that we all should know Loretta Lynn was the matriarch of country music. She was the longest living grand old Opry remember with over a 60 year career, the queen of country music.
Mrs Loretta may have written songs about or sang about cheating however she was faithful to Dew even when he wasn’t to her and made a career singing to take care of her family., The songs wasn’t about her approaching a man’s wife, it was about her approaching a woman he was cheating with.. If you watched the movie Coal Miner’s Daighter about her life or Sweet Dreams about her friend Patsy’s (Virginia’s) life you’d know that. So I agree with being her fan however your interpretation isn’t correct.
I can relate, brother. I am from West Virginia on the border of Kentucky, and my people come from Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Kentucky, and I myself am the son of a Coal Miner's Daughter. And I'm here to tell you, my little 5 foot tall Cherokee / Lenape grandmother definitely was the center of our matriarchal existence, and that is one who was born at the turn of the 20th century, and not only got through the Great depression, but did it proper. She taught me more than I will ever know. I miss her deeply, I miss her stories, I miss her strength. My 6'1 grandfather would not even give her any lip lol. Never underestimate the metaphoric Iron of a small Native woman that carries an even larger metaphoric stick. Great video brother!
I remember when Van lear Rose came out and it made me think, "Who the hell knew the greatest frontman of any rock band going is a 75 year old lady??" So darn good.
Thank you! I was scanning to see if anyone else had mentioned Motocross before I posted. She was an absolutely beautiful human being, not just a musician.
She's my distant cousin. On my mom's side. My mom's side. My grandpa's family left Kentucky when he was a kid though so we never knew her personally though.
I’m really enjoying your videos lately the five songs to play for a funeral or when you lose someone that was unbelievable it just touched a chord with me this is also awesome.
Nice tribute, country music is American folk and just as with all other folk music its a way of telling stories to be passed down the generations. Listening to the music the happy go lucky and jaunty music often masks very dark and sad tales where the pain of the words is minimised by the upbeat of the music. There are many exceptions to this where minor key music accompanies sad words but the fact that the music is often written by people who have survived tough times, this resilience comes through with an often dismissive attitude along the lines of; you it left me , it hurts you left me, whatever, I'll move on. It's like the music has already moved on while the words tell you why.
To make it in country music as a woman, you had to be willing to fight every day. She stood up and raised her fists when she needed to, and won her fight in the end. Classy to the end.
I love that album. Last time I saw her in concert she took requests. I yelled until I was hoarse for cuts off of Van Lear Rose. Alas, no one else did and I left unrequited. If she had only chosen to sing Van Lear Rose I'd have been happy. Oh well, she was great anyway and Jack White is my hero.
she started from nothing, made it big, made good business decisions and stayed relevant till the day she died. You can't do much better in this world.♥️♥️♥️
No other way to say it than to say Loretta had balls of steel. There will never be another quite like her.
You’re a good man for making this video. Her and Dolly Parton are national treasures. Made me so happy a few years back to see Loretta and Jack White collaborate together. Even the Grateful Dead covered her with Donna Jean

Tammy Wynette : Stand By Your Man
Dolly Parton : Jolene (Please Don't Take My Man)
Loretta Lynn : Fist City (I Wish a Bitch Would!)
Loretta Lynn , Lynn Anderson , Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton , their music can never be copied and will live on forever .

Speaking of gospel, check out Tyler Childers new stuff. Particularly Way Of the Triune God
There will never be anyone like her EVER! She spoke to all walks of life. She was us. She sang to us. Country Music will never be the same. Class and dignity but total bad ass!!

Loretta was the most punk rock country singer ever.
Absolute legend. Coal Miner's Daughter always makes me think of my nan and reminds me to have pride in my working class background!
Loretta was a Pioneer and a legend! Thank you so much for honoring her here❣️
The greatest woman to have been in country music. Her voice, charms, and stone cold lyrics puts her up top in my books, she'll be missed but never forgotten.

Yes! Charley and his band are AMAZING! 🤠🍭

We lost a great woman.
The musicians that backed a lot of the early country singers were great players .
That's a great tribute Michael to Loretta Lynn. She paved the way for every female country artist. 3 chords and the truth.
When I hear her I remember my Dad singing along in our car. She lived a hard life growing up, so there is a truth to her songs you don’t hear anymore. Lyrically she was fantastic all her songs are stories about life and challenges she saw or lived through. Yet with all her fame and fortune she stayed that amazing humble person from butcher holler. That life made her love and help many others that crossed her life path. I have been listening to her for two solid days. And yes she was all woman and all bad ass at the same time.
I’m going to politely disagree. Women fighting over a man has never been cool. Dis the dude, not the woman.
When I was a teenager in 1978, I worked at a venue in Lexington KY called Rupp Arena.

She was the Queen. Butcher Holler was just on the other side of the mountain behind my house growing up.
Michael you forgot to mention that she does it all in a party dress.
Seeing Amy Winehouse made me think of what could have been! Drugs are devastating! 😢 Reba McEntire reminds me of a present-day Loretta Lynn. Nothing handed to her. Struggling to make it a career in country music. Now,Reba is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and very well respected!
FIRE 🔥
It's hard not to say it. Listen to the pill and youll now why.
Happy to see a video about her, RIP
Appalachian women don't play. I am one. Once that hackle is raised....RUN! 😂
Some of us pick these Artists up from there family. Thanks mum and dad, love yous and like everyone else never will forget yous R.I.P
Perfect song to pick! This tune has been covered by so many other artists, including the Grateful Dead with Donna singing lead.
such an icon! not only to music, but also the motocross community.
she will be missed
Another Loretta Song where she just says, BACK OFF BECAUSE I AIN'T PLAYING. Is Ruby's stool.

And here's another SRV video, of a sound check. Best sound check in history. ua-cam.com/video/grBmQwLSlDw/v-deo.html

A video about Loretta Lynn that starts with an Amy winehouse quote? This is why I love ya Michael thanks for doing what you do
Loretta was the Queen of Country Music...the one and only GOAT
"Lead Me On" (with Conway Twitty) is one of the best duets ever recorded.
I can relate, brother. I am from West Virginia on the border of Kentucky, and my people come from Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Kentucky, and I myself am the son of a Coal Miner's Daughter. And I'm here to tell you, my little 5 foot tall Cherokee / Lenape grandmother definitely was the center of our matriarchal existence, and that is one who was born at the turn of the 20th century, and not only got through the Great depression, but did it proper.

Never underestimate the metaphoric Iron of a small Native woman that carries an even larger metaphoric stick. Great video brother!
Same as my wife and she was a little over 4 ft tall
I do recommend everyone watch the movie Coal Miner's daughter.
Brother, which strap are you using? Looks really nice.
MY MOMMA IS SANGIN WITH LORETTA TONIGHT!! MY SISTER WAS NAMED AFTER LORETTA LYNN...
Please listen to Dear Uncle Sam this was recorded during Vietnam war
There may be a few but I don't know of anybody tht didn't know Loretta Lynn was a bad ass .
Our loss .
Before country became a joke. She and her peers were amazing.
I remember when Van lear Rose came out and it made me think, "Who the hell knew the greatest frontman of any rock band going is a 75 year old lady??" So darn good.
I was weaned on Loretta I love Loretta Lynch he's my hero
Thanks, Michael, for this tribute to Loretta Lynn! ❤️
The American Motocross community loves Loretta! RIP
Thank you! I was scanning to see if anyone else had mentioned Motocross before I posted. She was an absolutely beautiful human being, not just a musician.
I just love your passion for this - It's so infectious.
Loretta was the female Hank Williams ❤
Her Gospel albums are amazing. Pure and Gold
My dad meet her years ago she was down to earth and invited him to eat with family and crew….what a lady.
Loretta: The Original Riot Grrrl?
Michael, one word response: Preach.
Loretta Lynn. My favorite singer.
She sing like it’s Christmas
You have the music to loud
She's my distant cousin. On my mom's side. My mom's side. My grandpa's family left Kentucky when he was a kid though so we never knew her personally though.
Totally agree Michael! ❤
the stories are everything.
Loretta Lynn was such a incredible story teller, she helped build the legacy of storytelling in country music
I’m really enjoying your videos lately the five songs to play for a funeral or when you lose someone that was unbelievable it just touched a chord with me this is also awesome.
Thank you for this. Bluegrass gospel is AMAZING
Nice tribute, country music is American folk and just as with all other folk music its a way of telling stories to be passed down the generations.

Loretta wrote songs about her real life. Apparently Doolittle had a wandering eye.
I have great respect for Loretta
Well done, man…
Thank you for the beautiful tribute commercial free. Such a nice touch Michael. But that's who you are!
Haha she is so cool!
I'm with you on the gospel songs. They are the best and I can listen to them all day.
I seen her over hundred of times became good friends of the family. I can assure you she was everything you expect her to be
Tammy Wynette also has "Sally Trash", but sang to the man as an option.
There will never be another Loretta was and always will be the greatest.
Thank you for saying this so well.
Awesome reaction! Thanks
I was 10 in 1966. What a time to be alive!
Would love to see a vid on Minus the Bear
class lady and such an entertainer
My favorite album of All Time is Van Lear Rose. Rest Easy Ms. Loretta.
I love that album. Last time I saw her in concert she took requests. I yelled until I was hoarse for cuts off of Van Lear Rose. Alas, no one else did and I left unrequited. If she had only chosen to sing Van Lear Rose I'd have been happy. Oh well, she was great anyway and Jack White is my hero.
Loved Loretta
nice
Country music is some hokey crap. I thought this was a guitar instructional channel. Moving on.
really going out on limb here🙄
you actually won for saying i won. hit me up
