Being from the mountains of Eastern Kentucky myself. I've grew up on her music along with many others. I think I'm watching all of Jerry's documentaries for the sixth time now. They are so well done. Keep it up Mr Skinner.
It was 1998 and I was so excited to find Hurricane Mills by accident, driving from Boston to S. California. I was sad that Miss Lynn was not home so I went to her restaurant before getting back on the road West. As I was eating some mighty good food when I heard that famous voice coming from the kitchen and there she popped out of the kitchen wearing an old apron and spit-fire as all get out about gravy. She apologized to the folks and said; " If it ain't done right. It don't come out MY kitchen ! " The whole dining room stood and and gave her standing ovation right there in the dinning room. Loretta smiled and said. " It's just gravy folks !" ~ and laughed her gorgeous laugh. What a lady, what a sweetheart, what a true legend. Love her !
My oldest Brother was a burn victim and spent a lot of time at the hospital. One day Loretta sat next to my Mother in the waiting room and introduced herself. This being in Japan and my Mother being Japanese, my Mother had no idea who she was. Loretta was on a USO tour and was missing her children. She changed my Brothers diapers.
I started listening to Loretta when I was young and in school. I bought her records and my daddy bought me a record player with a storage place in the bottom of the record player. I loved it. She was my favorite singer. I collected all of her albums. I still listen to her sing. I live in a small town in Kentucky that has a college in it. Loretta came there and I got to see and hear her sing. Later she came close to my home and I went to see her again. I love Loretta Lynn ❤
In 1981 I had the good fortune to see Loretta Lynn sing at the Grand ole Opry, she sang Cole miner's daughter. I would love to have seen a whole concert bk in the day. I was only 17 when I was at the Opry. Great video!!
I met Loretta Lynn in Atlanta Georgia that goes 1972 she let me in my wife come into her bus in between the two shows never will forget that moment rest in peace Loretta we love you
Mr.Skinner I Adore Loretta Lynn ♡♡♡ I could not count how many times I've watched coal miners daughter!!! My daughter surprised me and took me to see her perform!! I was 16 & husband 18 when we married And still married. I wasn't aware she lost 2 children- that is heartbreaking. Than to loose the person you started your life with, soo loss for words :( Thank You Soo Much For Sharing
She was always my wife’s favorite singer . We went to see her Homeplace for my wife’s birthday last year in Kentucky,such a neat little cozy home in the end of a hollow . I really enjoyed the tour given by a family member toured house and store . She looked so sad in that last picture you showed holding microphone. Getting old sucks especially when all your loved ones start disappearing. It’s a terrible thing to have to witness. Much respect for the queen of country. I was related to patsy kline On my dads side of the family. Her and patsy were good friends Love you Loretta 🙏🙏👏👏 Great presentation of everybody’s hero Jerry Thank you so much Very touching
Thanks Jerry for this.The Queen of true country music.Yes I cant forget that the late Tammy Wynette was too.....I always love Loretta Lynn and her tunes.She is one of my all time favorites.She lived a hard life.She also lost her singing partner Conway Twitty back in 1993..
My (now former wife) and I went to see Loretta Lynn perform in the early 1990s in Ann Arbor Michigan Mrs. Lynn was very warm and gracious, just like the portrayal of her in the Coal Miner's Daughter movie. She looks like a slight little thing hardly over 5 feet tall. and at the end of her performance she gathered her skirts and curtsied to each section of the audience, just like a southern belle. it was very sweet and heartwarming.
I love this one very much !! I finally got to go to Loretta Lynn's ranch about 4 yrs ago . I went on my birthday Nov. 3rd . I was so happy !! I guess because it was the end of the season and right before they shut the ranch down for the holidays....there wasn't very many people there . It was only my husband and I and one other couple that went on the tour of her house . The tour guide made us feel right at home . That made it even more special !! I've seen Loretta in concert only 1 time when I was about 15 years old and I've seen Coal Miners Daughter probably 200 times no joke . lol !! My whole family loves that movie . Thank you Mr. Skinner for sharing Loretta Lynn's story . You tell it the best !! God bless and Have a Happy Thanksgiving !!
I remember listening to her from when I was a boy back in the 60's, what a classic lady! My dad thought she had one of the most honest voices on the radio, I have to agree.
Everyone loves Loretta Lynn. Just a kind sweet girl with a lovely voice and a good heart. She blazed a trail for women and spoke up through her music on issues that no one wanted to talk about. She was proud of her family and I respect and admire her for that. She was a lucky girl to come from such a loving home.
Jerry, thank you for this documentary. Loretta, as with Tammy Wynette, Lynn Anderson and Tanya Tucker, holds such a dear spot in my heart. My mom (I always teased) loved "both" kinds of music; country and western. So many of my favorite memories include the amazing music of these ladies and many other country musicians.
I really do enjoy the documentaries this man does no over bearing music no fancy frills just simple documentaries. I always look forward when he puts out a new documentary. Thank you for all your hard work
Thank you so much of share this video clip. Most of Loretta Lynn song listen back 1970s on radio stations and on Tv Pop Goes County and Nashville on the Road. So many others. I got see Loretta Lynn in concert few times back 1987 still have paper were she performed at but now gone. Still remember see her Green bus they use on film movie rolling down the highway in Minnesota and times my dad was trucker back then and see her bus on Highway. Still enjoy her music still was younger still do today. At age 54. And was shock to know that Crystal Gayle was her still I grow up listen her music back 1970s and 1980s. One time I was concert I was sit by the Johnson family well I came alone because I enjoy her music though years. And once did see Loretta Lynn and her Husband together one show, she and husband get on the Green bus. Truly enjoy film movie but see her in concert is like dream come true. God bless all Loretta Family. And her kids and her husband all hard work he did get We're she is today. Truly amazing story. Thank you. God bless Webb family and Loretta Family.
Jerry Skinner, no one can do it like you. I love your soothing voice!!! Please continue your stories, it shows you like what you do. GOD bless you and thank you!!! 💝💝💝
Perfection once again, Jerry. I loved your explanation of mother's love - caring for the little birds as they leave the nest. That little gem will stick with me forever. Many thanks
One of the finest singers in all history. Her songs were scattered all over my childhood on the big album of life. May God keep you safe and close. God bless you, Loretta Lynn.
That is a beautiful video and audio wonderful story about a very talented and great country singer. One of the best, you can say. I love listening to Loretta, & her duets, especially with Conway Twitty.
Thank You Jerry sure do appreciate your videos for I won’t see many of the places you cover but I definitely will see Loretta’s cabin and ranch .I ❤Her-music and Respect her so much 🫶
Saw her in concert at Magic Mountain in 1979, after seeing her first show and waiting to see her second show I came across Moon sitting outside waiting for her. I talk with him for about 5 minutes shook his had and went in to see her second show. I asked Loretta to sing a Patsy song and she sang "Crazy"
I really enjoyed this video so much. You were able to paint a perfect picture of someone with precise detail plus more in 14 minutes than ANY autobiography or 90 minute movie ever could.
Mr. Skinner, I spent many years producing television programs. I want to commend and thank you for the videos you produce, because I enjoy them very much.
+John Deakin John, thank you very much for your kind words. As i am sure you have figured out, i am not a professional. Nor do i have the best equipment, but the subjects are very interesting and that sort of carries me. Thank you again John. Jerry
I got to go see Loretta in person when she performed at Topeka,Kansas's Performing Arts Center years ago. After the concert i had the privilege of getting my picture taken in front of her touring bus i will never forget that night.
Wow i went to see her in 2007 in tunica, ms down on the riverboats. I'll always love her. my friends right today laugh at me when i play her music in my car and home because I'm black. I'm like my dad i love country music and Loretta Lynn is my favorite. yes i have all her music with me where ever i go. i didn't get to shake her hand that night, but i did get to see her sing live as she set in the chair. And i wish maybe one day i will. my Dad is dead now and so is my Mother. If they only knew that i had the chance to see her oh how Happy they would have been for me. I was 45 years old then now just turn my age around yes I'm 54 now. And today i still don't care about my friends laughing at me when i play her Cd's cause they're be laughing until me or them Die. I love you Mrs. Lynn.
Brenda Gray I would Loved to have seen Loretta preform. I grew up listening to country music when with my mother driving back to Nebraska from Denver Colorado. My older brother n sister gave me all the other rock music from the 60s n 70s... I was really blessed with all of it. I wonder if you ever watched the movie Coal Miners Daughter? About Loretta Lynn’s life. You and I are the same age. Little did I know how much things would change, country music is just one of them. I miss those days and times gone by.
Another great one Mr. Jerry! I have followed her career since the 1960s when I found stacks of her albums in my mama's records. What a life & career.......just amazing! Thanks- Herb :)
I'm sitting here bawling like a baby. I love Loretta Lynn so much. Loretta please come to Branson, Missouri I want so much to see you and hear your beautiful voice!
Great video and storytelling. Loved the way you told the story of a mother's love, also. That is very true. Thank you again for all your videos, Mr. Skinner.
I've been a Loretta Lynn fan ever since I can remember. Over the years I had the awesome pleasure of meeting this incredible legend twice, and she was a gracious and friendly as her reputation denotes. She has a new CD coming out this August.
Again Jerry Skinner I learned some details about Loretta I didn't know. In 1994 I had the pleasure of meeting Loretta Lynn and her twins, Peggy & Patsy in Nashville. I'm a song writer and dropped off a couple of tapes to her. Thanks Jerry!
Jerry, what a wonderful surprise to have found your videos on RUclips. Your meticulous and apparently tireless research and presentation are really a godsend to anyone interested in history and biography. Keep up the good work. I am proud to count myself, not only among your subscribers, but as a true fan. Thanks again!
Great video, thanks for putting this together and sharing with everyone. I admire Loretta for never forgetting where she came from. I seem to recall that around the time her son died she was in the hospital and that Conway also passed--I think before the son. I also heard that her oldest grandson past away within the last couple of week. Anyway, thanks again for sharing
Excellent video! I just finished watching "Coal Miners Daughter ". I've seen it several times, Loretta Lynn's life is very interesting! I'm African American and not too familiar with country music, but I know a great story when I see one!
Woo-hoo, Washington State ! My neck of the woods ! :) I do believe that my mom n dad met Ms. Lynn and often stated that she was nice and polite, the way a genteel Southern gal was raised to be. She never had a cross word to say about anyone. :) Very polite and well-mannered.
Thank you so much. I have followed Loretta Lynn since my early teens (some forty years ago) and she is just now preparing for the release of her next album, 'Full Circle.' I can't wait. Several days ago when I learned of the upcoming release, I pre-ordered my CD. I also plan to purchase a vinyl version when I can afford to do so. I am in awe at how great she sounds even today. Thank you for putting together this really nice video -- I enjoyed watching.
I overlooked this one till now. What a nice surprise. I was raised only a few miles from Butcher Hollow, coincidentally. You mentioned that Loretta's mother was a Ramey prior to marriage. This is true and has implications. Country singer Patty Loveless, a cousin of mine, coincidentally (again), has the maiden name of "Ramey" and is very closely related to Loretta Lynn. To her credit Patty never tried to use this connection to her advantage when getting started. Ok. I've talked too much. Great job as always.
Thanks for sharing this great video of Loretta Lynn and her life . I finally got to go visit her ranch at Hurricane Mills a couple of years ago on my birthday. My husband surprised me by taking me there. I had no idea he was planning this trip . It was so exciting !! I have always wanted to visit her ranch . Now , I want to visit Graceland and Tupelo Mississippi where Elvis was born . I would love to visit where Loretta Lynn's childhood home is in Kentucky also . Maybe someday. I am the same age as Loretta Lynn's twins Peggy & Patsy . All of her kids are beautiful and handsome. I didn't see any of the kids the day we went to visit her ranch, but I did see one of her grandson. I don't recall them telling us who his mother or father was though. He was blowing the leaves off of the road in front of the house . It was only my husband & I and one other couple there that day . The staff made us feel right at home. I hope we get to visit it again someday.
Love Loretta Lynn, her voice, everything about her. I feel for Loretta for all she went through. May her spirit soar high with the eagle, safely to Paradise, akee shahen kenwa. Peace & ♡Love♡ Always All. Blessings and Prayers Lifted.
Great lady in spite of her tremendous success she never forget where she came from She is like a huge tree that constantly nurture its Roots. Her story regarding her life's journey will long continued to transcend generations and will act as a beacon to others in all endeavors as they aspire for success.Big up Loretta the Queen of country music people from my generation in Jamaica still adore your life and music long lived the true Queen.
What a wonderful story piece on Ms Lynn her incredible husband saw her talent: marriages work when both are in tune with each other. Sad those she has lost. She is beautiful. God bless.🌹
i happened to came accross this video while picking out some of loretta songs " lovely video happy to hear her life story she is my favourite country singer ever since am a little girl hearing her on the radio "just wish that i had the pleasure in seeing her in person .
🙏🌠 Your Documentrys Are Absolutely Outstanding. Thank You For Taking Your Time To Edit All Of Your Documentrys. Your Voice Is Awesome Too . What A Lady She Is . ☺
that is one of the most touching stories I'm so glad that they posted for everyone to see all her goals and all her accomplishments in life and also her tragedy her heart in pain that she went through in life and how she opened up for the world to see who she really is here open up a museum to the public what a wonderful woman god bless her and all she does
Thank you for making these interesting videos, Mr. Skinner. It's obvious how much time and effort you put into each one. Because of you, I can visit places I'd probably never see. Your soothing voice is a pleasure to listen to as you bring famous people to life in a whole new way. Many thanks from Missouri!
loretta actually stayed at my aunts house over nite many yrs ago. story is she was performing in Youngstown ohio just starting out. her accommodations fell thru & my aunt & family overheard this while in a restaurant where loretta was dining as well. so they took a chance & asked if she might consider staying at their home. loretta accepted & my cousin said what a shock to find her at kitchen table next morning as he was going to school. they kept a pair of her hosery & my cousin kept the brush she used. he later was a hairdresser in palm springs. I was adopted at age 2 & reunited with birth family 37 yrs later where I heard this story. I was a semi professional singer & enjoyed doing her songs. This was a very well done video. Thanks for posting.
A few months ago, Loretta suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Since then she was released from occupation therapy and has returned home and hopes to return to singing and touring as soon as the doctor's release her.
i cannot tell you how much this story meant to me..i must have seen that movie 20 times and Jerry you are the master of telling there stories and making us feel closer to the stars..thank you
Mr. Skinner, just found your channel. Your voice sounds like pure West Tennessee. Very nostalgic, like listening to my grandfather tell stories when I was a child. Thank you.
James Vaughan I have actually had tears come to my eyes watching Loretta sing "Coal Miners Daughter" on the Grand Ole Opry about 10 years ago. The flashes of camera's was like a strobe light. It was emotional because she deserves the title, Living Legend.
@@happygayconservative4737 , I got to go to Nashville twice and stand on the original stage at the Ryman Auditorium ( the old Grand Ole Opry ) . Now they have remodeled it and no one can go up on the stage anymore. I even got to go back where the dressing rooms were . I signed my name on the wall with about a million other signatures , but now they have painted over them and I don't guess they let anyone go back there anymore. But ....when I stood on that stage the 1st person I thought about was Loretta Lynn . Then others like Patsy Cline , George Jone , Tammy Wynette , Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley !!!!!!! ( boy they didn't know what they were missing out on when they didn't except Elvis !! ) and so many more that stood on that same stage . That will always be a special moment for me and one I will never forget .
Loretta showed up at a family reunion at Lake Murray, OK. at the request of our Aunt Ollimae. She had played a show in Dallas the night before.She was a very gracious, and genuine person as you might expect. She came back as often as she was able.
A LEGEND, ONE BEAUTOFUL LADY INSIDE N OUT, LOVING EVERYONE AROUND HER. I TAKE MY HAT OFF AND STAND FOR THIS COAL MINERS DAUGHTER. SHE IS THAT DIAMOND SORROUNDED BY ALL THAT COAL 💎 YOU MY FRIEND ARE LOVED BY ME and SO MANY OTHERS 💞 I CAN ONLY HOPE ONE DAY I CAN GRACE YOUR HOME YOU HAVE PROVIDED TO ALL OF US OUT HERE and WALK THROUGH IT WITH BIG SMILES ! 😄 LISA 🌼 MYRTLE BEACH SC 🌴
I'm no country music fan, save for the guys who were rebels, but this woman's voice is still beautiful, and thankfully she is still making music. But these country stations won't play it because of their demographic.
Being from the mountains of Eastern Kentucky myself. I've grew up on her music along with many others. I think I'm watching all of Jerry's documentaries for the sixth time now. They are so well done. Keep it up Mr Skinner.
Thank you Mike. Jerry

One of the finest singers in all history. Her songs were scattered all over my childhood on the big album of life. May God keep you safe and close. God bless you, Loretta Lynn.
AMEN !!!!!
That is a beautiful video and audio wonderful story about a very talented and great country singer. One of the best, you can say. I love listening to Loretta, & her duets, especially with Conway Twitty.
Loretta remained true to her roots. Some country singers forget where they came from as soon as they get some success but not Loretta. She is genuine.
Just watched this video again. Just as great as the first time.
God bless you and your family
Brother Daymond
Thank You Jerry sure do appreciate your videos for I won’t see many of the places you cover but I definitely will see Loretta’s cabin and ranch .I ❤Her-music and Respect her so much 🫶

Jerry Skinner my daddy was a Tennessee country boy, long since departed, and you sir put me in mind of him. I wish you and yours well.
I've been watching a number of these pieces. They are outstanding, a true contribution to modern culture.
She's a national treasure.
I'm so glad she got discovered and made it so big and blessed us with her talent.
God bless her.

Brenda Gray I would Loved to have seen Loretta preform. I grew up listening to country music when with my mother driving back to Nebraska from Denver Colorado. My older brother n sister gave me all the other rock music from the 60s n 70s... I was really blessed with all of it. I wonder if you ever watched the movie Coal Miners Daughter? About Loretta Lynn’s life.
You and I are the same age. Little did I know how much things would change, country music is just one of them. I miss those days and times gone by.
Such a shame, your friends do have as good a taste in music and you.. lol
I'm a female also black n love country music also. My favorite artist was Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers. No shame n my game.
I bet if Loretta Lynn knew your story she’d invite you up on stage. She’s as real as they come! Hurricane Mills isn’t all that far from me.
I can just watch your documentaries all day long Jerry, just keep em coming. Brilliant stuff.
Jerry Skinner that was amazing.
I don't know how you will ever top that one, that was just absolutely stellar, definitely one of your best videos.
Another great one Mr. Jerry! I have followed her career since the 1960s when I found stacks of her albums in my mama's records. What a life & career.......just amazing!
Thanks- Herb :)
+Herb Walker Thanks Herb, I know you are taking care of Texas. Jerry
Herb Walker since 1960 58 years next years almost 60 years in this business loretta still reigns as the ground breaking queen of country music

Your meticulous and apparently tireless research and presentation are really a godsend to anyone interested in history and biography. Keep up the good work. I am proud to count myself, not only among your subscribers, but as a true fan. Thanks again!
Thank you Steve, i appreciate what you have said very much. Jerry
Brother Jerry does it again. Another great video story.

another spectacular docu......thanks Jerry !!!
Great video, thanks for putting this together and sharing with everyone. I admire Loretta for never forgetting where she came from. I seem to recall that around the time her son died she was in the hospital and that Conway also passed--I think before the son. I also heard that her oldest grandson past away within the last couple of week. Anyway, thanks again for sharing
My family from elkhorn city Kentucky. My grand dad worked 40 years in coal mines. I can relate
.
I like every video you have done, Jerry. As written below, you put your heart into every biography you do, bringing out the best of them. THANK YOU!
Thanks
Excellent video! I just finished watching "Coal Miners Daughter ". I've seen it several times, Loretta Lynn's life is very interesting! I'm African American and not too familiar with country music, but I know a great story when I see one!
Thank you for these videos. You tell it like it is with heart.
Woo-hoo, Washington State ! My neck of the woods ! :) I do believe that my mom n dad met Ms. Lynn and often stated that she was nice and polite, the way a genteel Southern gal was raised to be. She never had a cross word to say about anyone. :) Very polite and well-mannered.
Thank you so much. I have followed Loretta Lynn since my early teens (some forty years ago) and she is just now preparing for the release of her next album, 'Full Circle.' I can't wait. Several days ago when I learned of the upcoming release, I pre-ordered my CD. I also plan to purchase a vinyl version when I can afford to do so. I am in awe at how great she sounds even today. Thank you for putting together this really nice video -- I enjoyed watching.
+A Crawford Boy Thank you Crawford Boy for watching. Jerry
I overlooked this one till now. What a nice surprise. I was raised only a few miles from Butcher Hollow, coincidentally. You mentioned that Loretta's mother was a Ramey prior to marriage. This is true and has implications. Country singer Patty Loveless, a cousin of mine, coincidentally (again), has the maiden name of "Ramey" and is very closely related to Loretta Lynn. To her credit Patty never tried to use this connection to her advantage when getting started.
Ok. I've talked too much. Great job as always.
+CAROLVS No, you could never talk to much for me. Thank you. Jerry
Very interesting story. Thank you for taking your time to teach us this amazing story.
Thanks for sharing this great video of Loretta Lynn and her life . I finally got to go visit her ranch at Hurricane Mills a couple of years ago on my birthday. My husband surprised me by taking me there. I had no idea he was planning this trip . It was so exciting !! I have always wanted to visit her ranch . Now , I want to visit Graceland and Tupelo Mississippi where Elvis was born . I would love to visit where Loretta Lynn's childhood home is in Kentucky also . Maybe someday. I am the same age as Loretta Lynn's twins Peggy & Patsy . All of her kids are beautiful and handsome. I didn't see any of the kids the day we went to visit her ranch, but I did see one of her grandson. I don't recall them telling us who his mother or father was though. He was blowing the leaves off of the road in front of the house . It was only my husband & I and one other couple there that day . The staff made us feel right at home. I hope we get to visit it again someday.
Love Loretta Lynn, her voice, everything about her. I feel for Loretta for all she went through. May her spirit soar high with the eagle, safely to Paradise, akee shahen kenwa. Peace & ♡Love♡ Always All. Blessings and Prayers Lifted.
Love it! Love it! Love it! My favorite singers Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline. Love the video.

YOU DO A MIGHTY FINE JOB MR. SKINNER!!!!!

loretta actually stayed at my aunts house over nite many yrs ago. story is she was performing in Youngstown ohio just starting out. her accommodations fell thru & my aunt & family overheard this while in a restaurant where loretta was dining as well. so they took a chance & asked if she might consider staying at their home. loretta accepted & my cousin said what a shock to find her at kitchen table next morning as he was going to school. they kept a pair of her hosery & my cousin kept the brush she used. he later was a hairdresser in palm springs. I was adopted at age 2 & reunited with birth family 37 yrs later where I heard this story. I was a semi professional singer & enjoyed doing her songs. This was a very well done video. Thanks for posting.

I sang her songs for 25 years myself in bands. Her songs are so real.

I like Loretta lynn music hope she gets better hang in there Loretta you be back singing again I want your new CD when it comes out
Loretta Lynn - an authentic human being.
James Vaughan I have actually had tears come to my eyes watching Loretta sing "Coal Miners Daughter" on the Grand Ole Opry about 10 years ago.
The flashes of camera's was like a strobe light.
It was emotional because she deserves the title, Living Legend.
James Vaughan
Well said, and likely few understand the strong serious meaning -
@@happygayconservative4737 , I got to go to Nashville twice and stand on the original stage at the Ryman Auditorium ( the old Grand Ole Opry ) . Now they have remodeled it and no one can go up on the stage anymore. I even got to go back where the dressing rooms were . I signed my name on the wall with about a million other signatures , but now they have painted over them and I don't guess they let anyone go back there anymore. But ....when I stood on that stage the 1st person I thought about was Loretta Lynn . Then others like Patsy Cline , George Jone , Tammy Wynette , Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley !!!!!!! ( boy they didn't know what they were missing out on when they didn't except Elvis !! ) and so many more that stood on that same stage . That will always be a special moment for me and one I will never forget .
Enjoyed that immensely , thanks 4 sharing this beautiful story
Loretta showed up at a family reunion at Lake Murray, OK. at the request of our Aunt Ollimae. She had played a show in Dallas the night before.She was a very gracious, and genuine person as you might expect. She came back as often as she was able.
Again you are a great narrator. I am now a big fan of yours and watching all your videos. Great job.
Wonderful video Thankyou she loved Doo so much what a great love
Great story.....one of my all time favorites!
Thanks Jerry!

I'm no country music fan, save for the guys who were rebels, but this woman's voice is still beautiful, and thankfully she is still making music. But these country stations won't play it because of their demographic.
