She was a permanent guest star on the wilburn brothers t.v. show which is what shes on here. It was the perfect forum for her to showcase her powerful singing and songwriting she just blew everybody in nashville away how shed come each week with a different totally original song. People would be like wtf? or whoose writing these? And shed just smile through the whole thing
She signed LIFETIME CONTRACTS (20 years each) that she didn't really understand. Oh, she didn't just sign 1...she signed 5 (100 years worth)! The Wilburn Brothers basically "owned" her. When she decided to go solo and leave them, they sued her and won about $2Million. Unfortunately, it destroyed their friendship. She didn't regret leaving the business deal, but, she always regretted losing the friendship. The good part is, they had introduced her to one of, if not the top Country Music record company executives in history, Owen Bradley of (at that time) DECCA Records, and her liked her. She signed with DECCA, and was called by some the DECCA Doll.
Loretta and Patsy Cline were best friends back then, both of their husband's were drunk most of the time, he would cheat on her. These songs were about her life, true stories and nothing made up. She had a hard life, but was a fighter and lived to be 90. Loretta and Conway Twitty did a lot of duets together, give a listen some time. The Queen of country music. RIP❤
My Daddy ran a truck stop, Maw Maw ran the bus station, and my uncle worked at the barbecue house. I heard everything...on the juke boxes! What a time to grow up! Loving this venture of yours into the music that made me, old rock and all country.
She was a tiny MIGHTY GIRL! She was the oldest child in an extremely poor family. She married very young, and had several children. Her husband gave her the guitar and she self taught, wrote songs and became the UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC, she was good a friend to Patsy Cline. Please watch COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, the movie. She's amazing.
Loretta grew up in terrible poverty in a tiny coal mining town in Kentucky. Her songs were often autobiographical, including this one. She married her husband Doolittle when she was only 13. People keep trying to raise the age in these times, I've noticed....but she was 13. They stayed married all their lives, but did have ups and downs. You mentioned she had a Latina vibe. I don't know if it's relevant, but her mother was (I don't know to what degree) Native American. The film Coal Minor's Daughter is an excellent film and it's about her life.
Loretta was an Appalachian, a hillbilly. In many wsys, that was America's OG ghetto, even though it was a rural one. It had the poverty, and it produced tough people just to survive. She shows that toughness and roughness in this song and others.
I worked in radio for 30 years and in the mid 80's I ended up on Loretta's bus at a Conway/Loretta show. When I asked her to sign an album for me. She asked how to spell Bruce. I told her and she wrote BR and said, 'what was the rest?' I said UCE. She said, "Just cause I can sing, don't mean I had no schoolin'."
Loretta Lynn was revolutionary with her songs in the 1960's! They were hits too at that time! She did all these songs when the music industry was male dominated and very few women succeeded!
Loretta Lynn sang about her life with truth. Listen to One’s On The Way and The Pill. She told the truth about life for most females at that time. Those songs were considered controversial and were banned in some places.
@@lisajones2210yes Loretta did this duet with Conway Twitty. My daughter, her best friend and I would sing this in the car all the time. It was always on the play list.
I was in high school when that came out. I went in the Navy in 1964 so I know it before that because I remember hearing when I was living at home and I never went back to that house because it was sold while I was gone..
PLEASE do "Harper Valley PTA" next by Jeannie C. Riley!! She's another pistol of a country singer, but this song was HUGE in 1968! Harper Valley PTA was the first song by a woman to top the country charts and the Billboard Hot 100 charts and was an international hit! AND it's feisty as heck! 🔥💃🎵
Absolutely! And the way Jeannie tells off those Harper Valley Hypocrites is a message we all need to be reminded of...so we can remember and realize that while it seems like times are worse than they have ever been, we have been through all of this before and survived. Same from Loretta, the coal miner's gangsta...
Loretta was a boss. She wrote most of her songs and they were mostly autobiographical. Her husband was not an easy man... You need to check out: One's on the Way Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind) The Pill
There was a secret behind the scenes of television back then. The singers put Vaseline on their teeth to help keep them continuously smiling for the camera. Another thing was to not show pregnant women on t.v. It was during this time that Loretta was pregnant with the twins, so she used the guitar to help hide her pregnancy while on camera.
There's a scene in her biopic where she catches a girl with her hubby and she says "woman, if you want to keep that arm, you better get it off my husband." Appalachian kids learn to fight early, and we will fight for our guys.
I love that scene! "I'm warnin' you Doo! I better not ever catch you with trash like that again! And I mean it!" And to emphasize it, she goes and sits right next to Patsy!
She puts her husband in place with Don't Come Home A Drinking. You really need to watch the movie Coal Miner's Daughter it's so true to the real life that they had to calm it down to make the movie. She and her husband actually fought physically, she grew up using her first with her brothers and she was still a child when she got married but she was faithful and loyal. Got to love and respect her for sure.
Loretta was from Eastern Kentucky and yes, she knew how to fight. She knew how to "grab her by the hair of the head and pick her off of the ground". She was real and Butcher Holler is a real place. Check it out.
Love your reaction!!! Loretta truly was the Queen & always will be. A beautiful, sassy country girl from the hills of Kentucky. She wrote it like she saw it & sang it like she meant it.
Loretta Lynn was some times considered outlaw country with some of her songs. This is one of the songs and at least 2 others are the Pill and You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man. Loretta Lynn was from Kentucky and grew up very poor. Her father worked in the Coal mines in Eastern Kentucky. Loretta Lynn was friends with Kid Rock before she died at the age of 90. Loretta had a great sense of humor but you also didn't make her mad because she knew how to insult you without you knowing.
Loretta Lynn is the Queen of Country I was grown up with Country Music 🎶 with my Parents listening to all the Older songs Just Love ❤️ my Country Music & Rock Music 🎶
Long before female rappers with attitude, she was the original!!!….. can’t tell you how many songs of hers they tried to ban off the radio. They’ll never be another Loretta.
You need to see the movie about her life . Coal Miner’s Daughter… Cissy Spacek won an Oscar for it. She was a pioneer for women in country music that was dominated mainly by men at that time. Loretta and her mother were psychic as well. Very fascinating life she had
Don't mess with a country girl. Loretta was raised tough and had to do hard chores like all country folk did back in the day. She was the type that looked meek and weak, but you didn't want to mess with her. Most street girls sat on their rumps doing nothing most of their lives just getting high or drunk and only good at running their mouths. While most country girls worked hard took care of their health, eating what come from the fields and gardens and their farm animals so naturally stronger with more stamina than the average city girl. My favorite part to this song though is, " I'm not a-sayin' my baby is a saint, 'cause he ain't And that he won't cat around with a kitty I'm here to tell you, gal, to lay off of my man If you don't wanna go to Fist CityI And like she said, She meant it too.
Loretta Lynn was a force to be reckoned with. She kicked down every door put in front of her. _The_ _Pill_ was banned by several radio stations but Loretta couldn't be touched. She's a pioneer and paved the way for those who came after her.
Glad you got to this one & yes, I was laughing at you. Loretta was tough and meant every word of this song. It was personal and this was Loretta's warning to her. In an interview Loretta admitted to having been in a couple of fights because of her husband Doo.
She was once asked about domestic violence in her marriage. Her reply was “I was never hit once that didn’t give it back twice.” She was no pushover, especially once she grew from a teen age newly wed to a woman of success. Check out I Miss Being a Mrs Tonight, written after her husband Dew passed away.
She was an Eastern Kentucky girl! She was tough, it was a hard way to grow up. But you definitely don’t want to mess with a Kentucky girl, they usually can take you down! Lol.
You know - WE WERE LAUGHING - but, it was because of your APPRECIATION at her BARS!! That's the way WE FELT when these songs first came out! Funny to me - Loretta always sounded like she was ready to GO to Fist City - while, the WHOLE while - smiling while she's singin'!! I LOVE THESE REACTIONS, BP!!! THANKS for giving these a listen! THEY ARE AWESOME and ICONIC songs!! Loretta was AWESOME, back in the day - and, I'm so GLAD that I grew up with all these GEMS!! :) HUGS!
The lady she's singing about in this song had been telling her friends that she was going to take Doo away from her, but Loretta said in an interview what really set her off was when that lady told her kids she was going to be their new momma. She then said that when she caught Doo in a car with some woman when she was touring with Patsy Cline. She went off. By the time Doo got back on the bus she'd written "You ain't woman enough to take my man" .
The "trash" was a school-bus driver who took Loretta's children to school - that's where she told them she was going to "be their new mamma". Big mistake.
My late mother in law was a cousin of Loretta’s which, when it comes up, I gotta say it’s pretty awesome that I have a son who’s a distant cousin of this legend.
I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn and yes, she wrote her songs. She was gangster. She wrote based on what she knew and lived. I've watched some reactors diss Taylor Swift for "airing her dirty laundry", but Loretta Lynn wrote about her life for decades and it was one of the things that earned her the title "Queen of Country Music". Women, in particular, appreciate music that they can identify with. I believe that is a reason Taylor Swift has become such a phenomena with diehard, loyal fans.
When I saw the thumbnail on this one, I couldn't click on it fast enough. Loretta was a true national treasure, and you can't help but love her. And yes, she wrote most all of her own material.
Loretta Lynn who the sweetest lady ever! I have even met some of her kids that play in her band and they are also kind people. She is the original QUEEN.
I Love this woman. She is a Legend!!! I grew up listening to her. She country and we don't play when it comes to our man. I understand this song. Cause when you Love ya man ain't no other woman gonna take him away!
You have the best reaction shows on U-tube!! When I was in high school(60's), blonde haired girls were told by a girl gang that they were going to carve a letter on their faces. One of my friends had it done to her. I caught one of the gang girls in the girls restroom and made her wish she didn't. Not bragging but that was just wrong. "Vengeance is mine." Says God, but I don't think He would want us to stand back and not protect eachother. I Used to sing Loretta Lynne songs and play guitar on 3" reel to reel tapes and send them to my husband while he was on his 4th tour in Vietnam, USAF. He had already served in Korea before I knew him. Now my daughter sings them. Wish he was here to listen to her. Love watching your reactions BP!!
You should read her autobiography "Coal Miner's Daughter" - she had such a hard life. She married at 15 and if memory serves, had her first child at 16. Her songs were always good. BTW, Loretta's ancestry was Cherokee on her mother's side. Another great song was "You Ain't Woman Enough". Rest in peace Loretta, you've earned it.
Loretta was a special kind of artist. She took everyday life and created musical stories that people, especially women, could relate to. I was lucky enough to see her in concert twice, quite the performer. She would include the audience into her act, talking to us, explaining songs to us, awesome.
Oh man, my mother loved her. Her favorite was "Your Squaw is on the Warpath." She'd be singing along with the 8-track in the car at the top of her lungs, smoking her Raleighs, threatening to us "knock it off or i'm gonna pull over!" The Loretta Lynn of New Jersey.
It really was her town. She bought a horse property and didn't realise the little town came with it. By being Loretta she brought money int town - but she owned it all ! She was bad ass and wrote her stuff herself !
She writes all of her songs she has drawers full of songs waiting to be published she writes about real life issues for women and families. Her and Conway would push the boundaries of County if they said no he would say yes this is going to be a smash hit. He didn't belong to the Grand ole Opry he would not follow their rules. They were the best duet in Country Music received quite a few awards.
Classic and really good country songs tell about life and what matters.They don’t try to change the world, just themselves and who they love.. Fighting for what and who you love is basic. To many people dismiss country because it’s basic, but really isn’t what matters most basic to us all?
She has taken a few to Fist City! She said if you get the first lick in, you should do ok. But, if you don't get the first lick in, it ain't so good. Also, her husband would hit her, and she would hit him back twice! When she says detour around my town...she means the real town of Hurricane Mills, Temnessee which was included in the deal (unbeknownst to her at the time) when she bought her mansion and ranch in about 1965. Her mansion sits on a small hill overlooking the river and her town on the other bank. Her family still lives on the ranch. The mansion is open for tours, along with her museum, a replica coal mine shaft, and a replica of the cabin she grew up in on a hill in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky.
Loretta was just cool. The collaboration that I didn’t know I needed was Loretta and Jack White (of White Stripes). Such an unlikely duo that truly became friends.
Loretta in a poor family in the Appalachian mountains. She got married at 13 and her husband was not the most faithful man on this earth. There's more than one story out there about them going to fish City because Loretta did not play. And she gave every bit as good as she got. Loretta also wrote her own songs and she wrote them about what she lived. And she's a typical you see that smile on the face of the Southern woman when she's threatening you run don't walk as fast as you can away.
Fun fact about Loretta Lynn when it comes to this song. Her mentor, Patsy Cline once said to her, "You can't go around saying that you're gonna yank a girl off the ground by her hair!" I think that stuck with her to use it as a lyric! If you can find it, check out the book by Loretta Lynn called "Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust", which is all about her friendship with Patsy Cline and how that shaped her career before and after Patsy had passed away. Loretta was a little firecracker herself! She once kicked a male singer in the shin for touching Patsy inappropriately, then another time, she locked a woman in a broom closet for flirting with Patsy's husband! Imagine poor Loretta's shock to find out that woman was a wife of a label VP!
Oh, you want to hear one that was sooooo controversial back in its day, it's called The Pill. Radio stations didn't want to play that song, but the more they didn't want to, the more people wanted to hear it and the women went nuts over it. Loved it. You have to listen to it. BTW, most songs that Loretta wrote (just about all of them were because of her wandering husband) and they were doozies. Please listen to that one, plus so many others.
She was a permanent guest star on the wilburn brothers t.v. show which is what shes on here.

or the Muppets appearance singing One's On the Way, with the muppet babies.
Your the reason our kids are ugly. Lorreta with Conway Twitty is a good one and funny.
She was singing facts!
Loretta Lynn still holds the world's record for having the most songs banned from radio. Her songs were that far ahead of her time.
My Daddy ran a truck stop, Maw Maw ran the bus station, and my uncle worked at the barbecue house. I heard everything...on the juke boxes! What a time to grow up! Loving this venture of yours into the music that made me, old rock and all country.
Was she banned even more that Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger ??? Cool to know.
❤👍
Dolly: please don’t take my man
Tammy: stand by your man
Loretta: f**k around and find out.
Love this....😂😅
That made me laugh out loud because you're not wrong!!!!
She was a tiny MIGHTY GIRL! She was the oldest child in an extremely poor family. She married very young, and had several children. Her husband gave her the guitar and she self taught, wrote songs and became the UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC, she was good a friend to Patsy Cline.
Please watch COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, the movie.
She's amazing.
Your face was Priceless when you heard the words. Loretta has an edge!!! This is the best Laugh I've had in ages!

Loretta was gansta before gansta was a thing 😂. She’s the real deal.
Loretta was an Appalachian, a hillbilly. In many wsys, that was America's OG ghetto, even though it was a rural one. It had the poverty, and it produced tough people just to survive. She shows that toughness and roughness in this song and others.
Harlan girl here
Van Leer is right down the road from me. Appalachian girls have to be tough, even now.
I worked in radio for 30 years and in the mid 80's I ended up on Loretta's bus at a Conway/Loretta show. When I asked her to sign an album for me. She asked how to spell Bruce. I told her and she wrote BR and said, 'what was the rest?' I said UCE. She said, "Just cause I can sing, don't mean I had no schoolin'."
Right...and she always said she might be ignorant, but she ain't stupid.
Loretta Lynn was revolutionary with her songs in the 1960's! They were hits too at that time! She did all these songs when the music industry was male dominated and very few women succeeded!
Her daddy was Irish and her mama was Cherokee. What a beautiful combination!

And she does it all with a sweet smile. Like she don't care either way. For your next LL song try You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly.
GREAT DUET!!! That one cracks me up: EVERY TIME!!
Loretta didn't do this duet, but add "Has Anybody Here Seen Sweet Thang?"
@@lisajones2210Yes! You better take my advice and if you blink more than twice, you better have something in your eye!😊🎶❤️
YES! That is a song that you can’t help but smile when you sing. She and Conway were quite the team.
@@lisajones2210yes Loretta did this duet with Conway Twitty. My daughter, her best friend and I would sing this in the car all the time. It was always on the play list.
She also wrote the song The Pill about birth control. She wasn’t a very big lady, but she was tough.
Yeah you should check out her song The Pill it was controversial when it come out .

Joy Lynn here to hear Loretta Lynn
You have the best reaction shows on U-tube!! When I was in high school(60's), blonde haired girls were told by a girl gang that they were going to carve a letter on their faces. One of my friends had it done to her. I caught one of the gang girls in the girls restroom and made her wish she didn't. Not bragging but that was just wrong. "Vengeance is mine." Says God, but I don't think He would want us to stand back and not protect eachother. I Used to sing Loretta Lynne songs and play guitar on 3" reel to reel tapes and send them to my husband while he was on his 4th tour in Vietnam, USAF. He had already served in Korea before I knew him. Now my daughter sings them.
Wish he was here to listen to her. Love watching your reactions BP!!
Country Music 🎶 always tells a Story in their songs That’s why I Listen to their Music 🎶 all Artists and Songwriters they are Amazing ❤
You should read her autobiography "Coal Miner's Daughter" - she had such a hard life. She married at 15 and if memory serves, had her first child at 16. Her songs were always good. BTW, Loretta's ancestry was Cherokee on her mother's side. Another great song was "You Ain't Woman Enough". Rest in peace Loretta, you've earned it.
Loretta was gangsta as hell. Just like all of us Eastern Kentucky girls!!!!
This is why we love our Miss Loretta!!!❤❤❤
She is the OG Bless Your Heart woman
I love Loretta Lynn!!! Thanks mom!!! RIP
Loretta Lynn the queen, the original badass.
Loretta Lynn wrote all her music .
She was my Dad's favorite singer. I was not into country myself, but I would listen to it with my Dad.
Loretta was a special kind of artist. She took everyday life and created musical stories that people, especially women, could relate to. I was lucky enough to see her in concert twice, quite the performer. She would include the audience into her act, talking to us, explaining songs to us, awesome.
Loretta was a country gal.. THEY SCRAP!!! They don't want no Loretta...
I’ve been very partial to her music. My great uncle played lead guitars for her for about 30 years.
I saw her in person ; pure talent...
BP your enthusiasm and love for music is what makes your reactions so good. I love hearing it in your voice when you are being open and yourself.
Oh man, my mother loved her. Her favorite was "Your Squaw is on the Warpath." She'd be singing along with the 8-track in the car at the top of her lungs, smoking her Raleighs, threatening to us "knock it off or i'm gonna pull over!" The Loretta Lynn of New Jersey.
Ice cold. She's singing it with a smile.....
Yes she wrote fist city. You need to listen to another one of hers, since u got the pill. She wrote most of her songs.
It really was her town. She bought a horse property and didn't realise the little town came with it. By being Loretta she brought money int town - but she owned it all ! She was bad ass and wrote her stuff herself !
She writes all of her songs she has drawers full of songs waiting to be published she writes about real life issues for women and families. Her and Conway would push the boundaries of County if they said no he would say yes this is going to be a smash hit. He didn't belong to the Grand ole Opry he would not follow their rules. They were the best duet in Country Music received quite a few awards.
Classic and really good country songs tell about life and what matters.They don’t try to change the world, just themselves and who they love.. Fighting for what and who you love is basic. To many people dismiss country because it’s basic, but really isn’t what matters most basic to us all?
She has taken a few to Fist City! She said if you get the first lick in, you should do ok. But, if you don't get the first lick in, it ain't so good. Also, her husband would hit her, and she would hit him back twice! When she says detour around my town...she means the real town of Hurricane Mills, Temnessee which was included in the deal (unbeknownst to her at the time) when she bought her mansion and ranch in about 1965. Her mansion sits on a small hill overlooking the river and her town on the other bank. Her family still lives on the ranch. The mansion is open for tours, along with her museum, a replica coal mine shaft, and a replica of the cabin she grew up in on a hill in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky.
The cabin replica is actually the screen used one from "Coal Miner's Daughter"! Loretta had it moved to Hurricane Mills after they finished filming!
The song "You're the Reason" with Conway Twitty. It's hilarious! I sing it around my children just for fun.
Loretta was just cool. The collaboration that I didn’t know I needed was Loretta and Jack White (of White Stripes). Such an unlikely duo that truly became friends.
She won a grammy for the album he produced.
Loretta Lynn holds the record for songs banned from public radio
I remember Loretta Lynn from when I was a child, but haven't heard her in years.
Loretta in a poor family in the Appalachian mountains. She got married at 13 and her husband was not the most faithful man on this earth. There's more than one story out there about them going to fish City because Loretta did not play. And she gave every bit as good as she got. Loretta also wrote her own songs and she wrote them about what she lived. And she's a typical you see that smile on the face of the Southern woman when she's threatening you run don't walk as fast as you can away.
I love how she sings this so calm with a big smile on her face. ❤
Fun fact about Loretta Lynn when it comes to this song. Her mentor, Patsy Cline once said to her, "You can't go around saying that you're gonna yank a girl off the ground by her hair!" I think that stuck with her to use it as a lyric!
If you can find it, check out the book by Loretta Lynn called "Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust", which is all about her friendship with Patsy Cline and how that shaped her career before and after Patsy had passed away.
Loretta was a little firecracker herself! She once kicked a male singer in the shin for touching Patsy inappropriately, then another time, she locked a woman in a broom closet for flirting with Patsy's husband! Imagine poor Loretta's shock to find out that woman was a wife of a label VP!
Yes!!!! She wrote it. As with most of her songs. She wrote her life experiences.
Lorretta worked with Jack White in her later years. What an album! PLEASE check out their Portland, Oregon video. She never lost her touch!!
Loretta was very young, had no filter, wrote what she lived. As a result, she was banned from a lot of radio stations.
Check out dont come home drinking with loving on your mind or the duet with Conway Twitty - You are the reason our kids are ugly
Oh, you want to hear one that was sooooo controversial back in its day, it's called The Pill. Radio stations didn't want to play that song, but the more they didn't want to, the more people wanted to hear it and the women went nuts over it. Loved it. You have to listen to it.
BTW, most songs that Loretta wrote (just about all of them were because of her wandering husband) and they were doozies. Please listen to that one, plus so many others.
But at that time, "the Pill" was to keep you from getting pregnant. Birth control pill.
She's the GOAT of country.
There was a reason she was a queen of country music :)
