Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn is an American singer-songwriter who is considered one of country music’s trailblazers and is responsible for the hit songs One’s on the Way, You Ain’t Woman Enough and Dear Uncle Sam. She has released numerous gold albums throughout her six-decade career. But did you know she got married before her 15th birthday? Yes, she also gave birth to her first child at that young age. By the time she was 20, she already had four kids.

It’s also worthy to note that Lynn got her first guitar as a gift from her husband and taught herself how to play. Today, she’s known as a country music legend, and we give her husband credit for inspiring and supporting her passion. In the early ’70s, she was the first female to achieve Entertainer of the Year from the Country Music Association.
