Loretta Lynn - You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man) REACTION!

[@AP-gb3eh]

Lynn married Mooney at 15, was a mom by 16. 4 kids by 22. She was 1 of 8 kids living in a 1 room cabin .She entered contests for fun & prize money. Her actual life much like Dolly Parton was more amazing than the stories. The poverty in US was severe in a way that’s hard to understand now. Dirt poor, no heat ,water from a well , sew your own clothes,walk if you’re going, if you had. Radio you were lucky, make your own entertainment. That is the world that produced the Country of old . A lot of other genres too

FACTS!!

[@dorothykelley1881]

Love the movie Coal Miners Daughter, eight kids at home sick daddy-we lived it...Gotta see the movie...She and Elvis were good friends...

[@karenstrong8887]

I was married at 17, had my first child at 18 and by 22 I should have had 5 children but 2 never lived. All I wanted was a house full of babies but I couldn’t do it and live. I got my babies by adopting and fostering, all 50 of them. They all went to private schools and I made some amazing adults. It wasn’t sad that I knew what I wanted and every single child I tried to have was planned. I did not let any child of mine marry that early because they were never as old as I was at 17. I had already raised 5 younger siblings and I started at 4 years old. My marriage? It will be our 54th anniversary on July 3rd. It isn’t unfortunate for some to have a family early.

There will never be another "The Best Friend A Song Ever Had" and "The Coal Miner's Daughter". Tre is the son of Michael Twitty, and Tayla is the daughter of Ernest Ray (Ernie) Lynn. Also, although retired from singing, Joni Lee, Conway's daughter (Tre's aunt), and co-performer of Don't Cry Joni, sometimes sells Twitty and Lynn merchandise at their shows.

Loretta didn't always play the guitar because she wasn't overly good at it; however, she played it in that show because she was pregnant and back then pregnant women were not allowed to show their bellies on television. They always stood behind a high-backed chair or were sitting down or stood with their back to the camera or had something blocking them from the waist down. Loretta had the guitar to hide the fact that she was pregnant. Things sure have changed a lot since then.

Some of those songs are: The Pill Fist City You are not Woman enough to take my Man Loretta Lynn was friends with Kid Rock, Dolly Parton, Reba McIntyre, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, and many other artists. Loretta was a part of the outlaw country music with some of her songs. In August of 2020 Loretta and Kid Rock played a joke on their fans by making them think they got married over the weekend. On August 31 2020 Loretta set the record straight that she and Kid Rock didn't actually get married. Loretta was a coal miners daughter. She grew up poor. She was from Kentucky. Her father worked in the Banner coal mines and died from a lung condition that killed coal miners quite often. That condition was called black lung. Black Lung is from breathing in coal dust.

One of my most memorable nights was the night I met Loretta Lynn. I was in college in the late '70's in St. Louis and she was appearing at the now-defunct Keil Auditorium, a huge arena and concert hall. My friend, who the previous summer was Ms. Lynn's dresser (an intern position), during her concert tour, had an extra ticket and invited me to go with her. When we arrived, Loretta's famous purple bus was in the parking lot and we got to go on it. Conway Twitty was the opening act and did his entire set in front of the curtain, making the actual stage area part of the backstage. Next thing I know we were sitting behind the curtain playing poker with Loretta's band. After Loretta sang to I don't remember how many thousand people, keeping them all in the palm of her hand, she stood downstage center and signed everyone's autographs as they lined up and approached her. My friend and I stood at her side onstage while she talked to us. We were theater and music majors and she was giving priceless advice about the business of show buiness to us. We said goodbye and started to leave because we didn't want to infringe too much, but she grabbed my friend by the arm and said, "Where you two think you're goin'? You're not leaving me up here all by myself are ya?" I remember my friend mentioned she couldn't wait to graduate from college, and Loretta said, "You just hold tight and you'll be outa there before you know it, wishin' you was back in it." I've met a lot of celebrities in my career but that was and always will be one of my most treasured memories.

I heard an awesome story about how Sissy was downstairs in the studio practicing and Loretta's manager came in the house calling out for Loretta and saying how good she was sounding that day when it was Sissy that was singing.

In case you're interested, there's an excellent movie (1980) of the story of her (hard) life called, "Coal Miner's Daughter". Sissy Specek played Loretta and did all of the singing. (who knew she could sing?) and won the Academy Award for best actress. The movie was also nominated for best picture, best cinematography, best screeplay and best production design.

She got a lot of her first exposure by being featured with E. T. known as Ernest Tubb with his Texas Troubadours, she did many duets and performed with Conway Twitty. I had the honor of opening for Loretta several times several times as a young girl in Chicago back in the early 90’s. This was around the time her movie about her life was first out and called Coalminers Daughter and it’s an awesome movie to boot! It’s a real story about a real woman, her life and her rise to fame. She was a best friend of the legendary Patsy Cline and if you haven’t listened to her, you really really should - amazing voice, amazing person just like Loretta. Loretta would talk to you while standing in the wings, what you saw was what you got, not a bone of pretense in her body, a lovely soul. Sadly she has passed on I believe in 2023. I cried because it was close to my heart as she is a Kentuckian and my dad was too. My dad was Cal Starr, he booked Loretta many times through the years and brought her wonderful spirit and music to many happy Chicagoans! I remember once backstage she would see my dad throw her arms up and say there’s my favorite booking agent! And they would hug, I think it was a Kentucky thing! There is much more to Loretta and all the people she touched with her music, thank you for covering her, I hope you will visit her greatest hits and some of her duets with Conway - great music - I enjoyed your presentation, thank you! Kind regards, Lori London

This is a woman’s anthem for sure. She is amazing- thanks for reacting to this!

"Fist City" is another one from her that I think you would be able to appreciate. She did SO many great ones solo and with Conway Twitty.

Allot of her songs were based on her life experiences. If you want to know more about her, I recommend the bio-pic "Coal Miner's Daughter" with Sissy Spacek. Sissy won the Oscar that year for Best Actress for her portrayal of Loretta Lynn. Tommy Lee Jones play Loretta's husband.

Honestly, there is No one who hasn’t heard of Loretta….seriously? Coal Miners Daughter is one of the best movies in history, and so is Loretta!

Love Loretta. She also sings a song with Conway called "you're the reason our kids are ugly"

She had songs banned from airplay like the one about the pill, when the birth control pill was invented. She also scandalized national television during an award ceremony she was the presenter and Charley pride, a black country singer won the award. She hugged him and kissed him on national television in the mid-60s. It was major scandal. She was Patsy Cline‘s best friend. She started having babies at the age of 15. And she was a little bit psychic. She lost one of her sons I believe it was Don, who drowned near their home and she had a premonition. She also had terrible stage fright and if you haven’t seen the movie coal Miner‘s daughter you should because that explains her entire mindset and how she got into the business. And she wrote the songs. These weren’t somebody else’s songs these were her songs. And she had seven children including a set of twins.

I absolutely love LL,,, she was always proud to be part Cherokee and sang about it. Your squaw is on the warpath... And red, white and blue.

Country people back in these days were REAL ! They did not know what PRETENTION was. They lived in the moment and called it like it was. They said whatever popped into their head! Dolly Parton has a lot of that in her still ! If you want to see one of the best movies EVER produced, watch "Coal Mine's Daughter" . It is her life story and is SO well written and acted and really shows you life back in those days in the hills and how her life was completely changed through her songwriting and singing. Amazing! Your wife will love it too. Loretta had 8 children I believe. Fun reaction to the original "gangster lady", Loretta Lynn !!!!! 😆👍🤼‍♀️💪💖
