Loretta Lynn | 4/14/1932 | 89

Loretta Lynn has made a name for herself as a country music star who has been in the industry for several decades. Though making a career in music is a challenge, Lynn never had any trouble finding her voice in the market. With the wide range of her vocals, it doesn’t a surprise that she can perform different music genres like gospel and country music. Her first song, I’m a Honky Tonk Girl, was done in Hollywood under Zero Records. Her song, You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man), reached the number one spot, making her the first-ever female country singer to have written a song that secured the top spot.

To her credit, Lynn’s career in the music scene just skyrocketed over the years, with several albums and singles released along the way. She was also the recipient of several awards like CMA’s Entertainer of the Year and Artist of the Decade from the Academy of Country Music Awards. She recently released a new album called Still Woman Enough, where she collaborated with other country music stars of today.
