Loretta Lynn Dies at 90
- “She was an inspiration,” Carole King says
Loretta Lynn, the barrier-smashing country singer who became known as the “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” has died, her family said.
Lynn, 90, died in her sleep Oct. 4 at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., according to a statement.
“Great Britain lost their queen, now we have lost ours,” the Oak Ridge Boys said in a tweet. “Rest easy, Ma’am. You were loved all.”
“They don’t make ’em like her anymore,” Travis Tritt tweeted.
Lynn brought social commentary to country music, a genre that often shuns topics like war, sexism and family planning, with songs such as “Dear Uncle Sam,” “Rated X” and “The Pill.”
“She was an inspiration,” Carole King said.
Rhonda Vincent said “my heart is sad” upon hearing of Lynn’s death.
“Sending our love and prayers to her family,” Vincent wrote on Facebook.
Lynn, whom “Austin City Limits” eulogized as “a true icon of country music and beyond,” was a frequent duet parter of Conway Twitty in the 1970s, a decade that found her notching two dozen solo hits, including “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” which the Grateful Dead occasionally played in concert.
“Your legacy will live on forever here at the Mother Church,” the Ryman Auditorium said in a tweet.
As she moved toward living-legend status, Lynn worked with Jack White on 2004’s Van Lear Rose and became friends with Poison’s Bret Michaels, who said singing “Every Rose has its Thorne” with Lynne was “one of the best days of my life.”
“A fantastic singer, but an even better songwriter,” Low Cut Connie wrote on Twitter. “Thanks for the songs, Loretta Lynn.”
