Most poor people have alot of kids. This is part of history. Loretta Lynn overcame her humble beginnings, and abject poverty. She is truly a Cinderella story! God bless her family!

Coal Miner’s Daughter is 1 of my favorite movies!💖

I 💕 Loretta Lynn, the best singer and performer. Coal Miner's Daughter, one of my favorite movies. When the twins entered the scene as performers, during that time she had criticism about the difference between country and pop. If my memory serves me, country chicks were out there. It's good to hear the history of it all. Thank you.

It breaks my heart that she had to bury two of her kids. She is definitely an iconic talent & forever the Queen of Country Music 🎶

I sure would love to meet this amazing lady, Loretta Lynn. She has been through so much in her life. Such a class act. I can picture her sitting there when the kids come to visit, and saying, let me get in here and fix y’all something to eat. ❤️

Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Conway Twitty, Porter Waggoner, Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, Roy and Dale Rogers, the Sons of the Pioneers and many more made the 50s, 60s and part of the 70s the height of country music. It isn't the same now, unfortunately.

I only knew Ernie, and this was back in the early 2000's. . He used to come to buy ham and bacon from my husband and me in Lobelville. I thought him a very enjoyable person to talk to. I know he loved his mama so very much, and was even a bit awed by her. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to him and his family.

Wonderful children. Loretta and Monny had been Proud.

[catwoman]

Report right!!! Loretta was 14 when Betty Sue was born. Her birthday was changed so people didn't have a fit that she was married at 13. She was born the same year as my dad, 1935.
