When she performed, Wells delivered the goods with a country twang and a supple, powerful voice that reached right to the back of the house.

When I was a kid in the late 70s/early 80s, my favorite show was The Dukes of Hazzard. It was quite a popular show, so popular that many country superstars of the day made guest appearances (usually to do a musical number at the end). The list of stars included Donna Fargo, Hoyt Axton, The Oak Ridge Boys (twice), Roy Orbison, Buck Owens, Mel Tillis, Tammy Wynette, and Dottie West. They were so enthused to have Loretta Lynn (a huge fan of the show) on board that they built an ENTIRE EPISODE around her. No other real-life star got that VIP treatment by the show. That says something. P.S. "Ode to Billy Joe" was by Bobbie Gentry.

Lorretta is as real and genuine as it gets. A poor girl raised in the back wilderness of Kentucky during the depression no less. She wrote her own songs out of experience. Fist city was one of them. Once she played it on a tv show and in the end she was asked was that actually aimed at somebody and as she was walking off looked back and said you doggon right.

Oh my if you liked this about a strong southern woman you must listen to Fist City! Loretta had many ground breaking songs.

I'm just seeing this and Ms Loretta passed away the other day so I thought I'd share this little story about her. I had the honor to meet Ms. Loretta, in the mid 90's. While it was a brief chat I told her how she inspired me as a male. She simply replied how could she inspire a young man in his mid 20's. I said well I've grown up listening to your music seen the movie about your life and all that type stuff, but your song You ain't Woman Enough describes the kind of women I want in my life. Her reply was well if they ain't willing to fight for ya they ain't worth havin. Rest well Ms. Loretta you have more than earned your place in the heavens.

And as others have said, Tammy Wynette is a must.

[@robertbreedon9137]

She just turned 90 this past April what a legend she was my Mom's favorite female country singer.

Have to suggest Jeanie C Riley "Harper Valley PTA"

Loretta Lynn has many hit records, mostly written by her. Don’t Come Home a Drinkin, Ones on the Way, Hey Loretta, Rated X, You’re Lookin at Country, Your Squaw is on the Warpath…Wings Upon Your Horns, Love Is the Foundation, They Don’t Make ‘em Like My Daddy Anymore…There are many more.

Carol King, Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson really need to be heard on all female Fridays.

@moon lite I've noticed similar non action to bands like Cheap Trick, Foreigner and a whole collection of 60s artists. Groups with multiple #1s, scores of top tens are ignored while minor groups are given 2nd 3rd and 4th listens. Guessing you have to be a Patron to get a song reviewed and they all ask for the same things over and over.

The twang Loretta sings with is natural. Listen to her talk sometime. She is just a natural talent!

[@rogerdodger6025]

Tammy Wynette is another one of the Country Queens. "Stand By Your Man" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E".

Loretta Lynn & Patsy Cline are my absolute all time favorite country music stars ♥️ Badass legendary iconic women who broke boundaries and changed the face of country music forever! 👏👏👏♥️

Loretta also has a sister “Crystal Gale” who had a couple hits. Her biggest hit was “Don’t it make my brown eyes blue”. But Loretta was a queen of country.

[@Looneyintheboonies]

Actually I grew up during the era Crystal Gale became a big star in her own right. She had a whole string of hits, not as many as Loretta, but a bunch!

[@lindapetro5594]

@@Looneyintheboonies I remember her long hair nearly touched the floor! It was the longest hair I’ve ever seen and likely ever will. 👍
