Loretta Lynn

(Leave My World Alone)” (1969). Released in 1970, the autobiographical "Coal Miner's Daughter" became Lynn's signature song. Later that year, she began touring with Conway Twitty. Throughout the early 1970s, Lynn and Twitty recorded a number of hit duets, including “After the Fire Is Gone” and “Lead Me On” (both 1971), followed by “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” (1973), “As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone” (1974), and “Feelins” (1975). The following year, Lynn (with New York Times reporter George Vecsey) published her autobiography — Coal Miners’ Daughter. The memoir sold phenomenally well and captivated such a wide audience that it inspired a 1980 film version of the same name, in which Sissy Spacek won a Best Actress Oscar for her heart-wrenching portrayal of Lynn. Most recently, Lynn released her first solo album in over 12 years — Still Country — which yielded the singles “Country in My Genes” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough, as well as a handful of moving ballads dedicated to her late-husband who died in 1996 from diabetes-related health problems. In 1988, Lynn was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
