Loretta Lynn (née Webb; April 14, 1932 – October 4, 2022) was an American country music singer and songwriter born in Kentucky. She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville during the 1960s. In 1967 she charted her first of 16 number 1 songs overall. However, certain country music radio stations would not play her songs due to subject matter.
