Loretta Lynn - You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man) (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[@marlenearchives]

This concert took place shortly after her son died. This explains her slight lack of assembly. We have to thank Loretta for coming out on this stage and trying to make everyone happy!

[@jermar1979]

She’s a class act. The band was horrible and she kept it professional. Love her! ❤️

[@ChasingDenver1]

It’s supposed to be a medley.. lol. She forgot

[@averywright1193]

She was the best no doubt, but that definitely wasn’t the band’s fault

[@grouchosays]

Don’t blame it on the band. All her songs sounded the same.

[@DeanUSAMale]

Mrs. Loretta Lynn was 53 years of age here... amazing!!! She is still going strong at age 89!

[@emilywalker9243]

I'm 10 years old and my friend is 12 and we LOVE Loretta Lynn

[@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ]

Loretta, I'd listen to you all day long, off key or on key. You're that amazing 😍

[@strawberrymansion86]

I love live shows and all of the imperfections. She will get it right. I LOVE the interaction between the band members and her. It shows they are human.

[@RedDirtRules]

Even the pros get mixed up. Love Loretta ❤️

[@haroldk724]

she is so awesome

[@tonyharris3306]

Loved her skipping out on stage.

[@Hillbillyan]

Yes, at 0:55 the band starts on "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'" and Loretty stays on "You Ain't Woman Enough"... I guesse it was due to be a medley. But no problem, we love her!

[@hjkqwe7990]

Professionals should have been able to follow her when she kept singing "You Aint Woman Enough"

[@Bearded38]

@@mateowilliams2162 No. This isn't something that was just done on the fly. Trust me, this was rehearsed, probably specifically for this show due to time constraints. I can almost guarantee this was a medley and she continued singing the lyrics to the first song when she was supposed to switch. The entire band and harmony section switched together perfectly fine. I believe she was either mentally cluttered or couldn't hear properly due to sound engineer/monitor problems. In the beginning of the clip you can hear problems going on with her vocals in the monitors and front of house. This isn't entirely her fault because of sound problems but she failed to switch songs in the medley with the entire band. The band was attempting to redirect back in the first song but a key change had taken place which made it damn near impossible to get back into "You ain't woman enough" that quickly and record key. It's the perfect storm but it's not the bands fault.

[@tonyharris3306]

@@Bearded38 it was definitely a sound problem.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1970 {October 11th} Loretta Lynn performed "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... It was released in 1966 and peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart... The song was track one of side one from her album of the same name; and on November 12th, 1966 the album reached #1 {for two weeks} on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart... Ms. Lynn will celebrate her 82nd birthday in six months on April 14th...

[@coalminer72]

she couldnt hear thru monitors...she handles it like a pro!

[@rickdavid6758]

RIP Loretta. 10/4/22

[@karaubriaco361]

😂❤️love her !!

[@lynnpeirce3205]

Wow ❤🎶

[@mchobbit2951]

How bad is it that I burst out laughing when she started the right song- because I couldn't tell what it was from the instrumental either and I know all her songs by heart!! It all seems obvious when you KNOW what it is.

[@possumhayes]

its live it goes wrong very seldom, its Sound prob on stage, Its Still Ms Loretta , the likes we wont have again, and the world of real Country will love her forever

[@duanetoenyan269]

Appears to be miscommunication on the order of songs in the medley. Loretta and the band are great!

[@geoffreyharold]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORETTA!

[@Jlbrn]

It's a sound issue, not a Loretta issue. If you watch the Southern Pacific/Emmylou performance from the same year, you can tell Emmylou is having the same issue.

[@mpcontreras01]

aww.. bless her heart.. if they were professional players they should have been able to switch and keep playing you aint woman enough.. that's okay Loretta! we still love you!!!

[@lawrence7511]

+albert contreras something was wrong with the speakers.. the band couldn't hear her and she couldn't hear them.. but she still the greatest... even if she just stood there.. lol

[@mpcontreras01]

+Larry S - I agree

[@lawrence7511]

+albert contreras I've seen her perform sick and still wow!! lol..

[@mpcontreras01]

+Larry S - really? wow.. I bet! I seen her once in Austin back in 2012. it was so awesome to finally see her live.. I was first row to her right, I was probably 10 ft from her.. it was great!

[@lawrence7511]

I've seen her over 100 times.. met her several... she's very sweet, funny, spunky.. I tun #teamLoretta on facebook

[@michellelemley1293]

watch the loretta lynn interview with brenda lee at farm aid 1985, she explians that she cannot hear out of her left ear and was having trouble hearing which song the band is playing

[@grouchosays]

Then why did she sing the same song twice. She got confused plain and simple

[@glenn1867]

I remember this - her son had drowned a few months before, I was not surprised she was so confused....

[@BrandiNaugle]

It's very hard sometimes when you think they are playing one song and it ends up to be another lol

[@coalminer72]

her son passed in JULY 84..It was the sound. she couldnt hear what band was playing.

[@martinward10]

so a year after losing your child it's all cool is it?

[@kiwicountrytv7204]

no what happened was this was meant to be a medly and they didn't finish the song .. before they went to the next song ..

[@grouchosays]

People keep saying it was a sound issue or she was singing in the wrong key. No. All of her songs sound so similar that even she didn’t know which one she was singing. She actually sang the same song three times!! Of course, she is forgiven because she is who she is. But, this was a catastrophe of her own making. Sure, everyone screws up. But let’s not look for excuses to blame this train wreck on.

[@music58p]

she sings in G BOYS

[@vikawelter9754]

Poor Loretta...

[@tammeleemburg820]

Professional players are able to switch to a other tone. Shame on you all.

[@eddieprice6145]

Well this day was as bad as gets. I love Lorreta Lynn I could tell she was upset with the band.

[@coalminer72]

thats right...Loretta will tell ya she messes up every show.lol..ppl dnt care they laugh right along with her...there is nothing phony bout her.. she still sounds great even in wrong key..lol...look how hot that outfit is....

[@dollywhite2988]

i feel so bad for her... what a sin :(

[@petepocklington1843]

Miss Lynn is Shania Twain's Grand mother. Priscila and Elvis' daughter. Watch this video and you can see the resemblance between Lisa Marie (Shania) before her stand-ins hijacked her image and Miss Lynn. It wasn't hard Lisa's stand-ins are her sister of which there are 7. Watch Sally Field ride around with Burt in Smokey and the Bandit. Miss field sure looks like an older version of ann MArgaret. it is. Ann Margaret is Priscilla Presley Loretta Lynn's daughter and Shania's (Lisa) mom. A shout out to miss Lynn, Lisa says you are exactly as your image tell the people. Lisa says you cooked from scratch for the grand babies while Elvis and Priscilla fulfilled their contracts. Thank you. She's a good girl. A good reflection of you and her parents. Straightened that problem out, eh? not your usual band I suspect. the vagaries of live performances. nothing is live anymore. processed over-produced crap.

[@mchobbit2951]

What the heck are you talking about? That doesn't even make sense. Loretta Lynn was born in 1932. Ann Margaret was born when she was nine years old, Priscilla when she was thirteen. Ann and Priscilla look nothing alike whatsoever and are clearly two different people. If Priscilla was hers what was she doing with the Beaulieus in Germany in the late 50's rather than with her and Mooney? And why does Lisa have zero to do with her "grandmother"? People can resemble each other without being closely related or related at all. Loretta looks like the Carters, she could be June Carter Cash's twins so I guess she really IS... even though June was born three years before her and Loretta grew up in Kentucky for some reason. I can't with this...

[@totellthetruth8611]

by the way i'm responding to your disparaging remark to my pete pocklington account. you really believe information such as age and name in relation to celebrity? profiles aren't always accurate. know what I mean. my son-in-law. prince William plays in the nhl under the name ryan getzlaf. prince Charles played under the name bobby orr queen Elizabeth was world class figure-skater Barbara ann scott. prince Philip played under the name jean beliveau. btw june carter is miss Elizabeth. andy Griffith is prince phil. and a proud member of her majesty's secret service, sean connery. JOhn cash Jean beliveau, sean connery. The same guy.

[@tonyd9455]

That band was awful!!!! You always follow the singer, no matter what!

[@elsaportillo6479]

she can mess up, and still sound amazing.was she on pills? hmm
