DESCRIPTION:
This is the title track from her 1973 album, "Love Is The Foundation," it hit #1 on the Billboard Country Chart soon after it was released. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Of the 11 songs on this album, Loretta wrote one, "Five Fingers Left," and "You're Still Lovin' Me" was written by one of her siblings. Her voice, her hair, that dress, all number one in my book.

Loretta Lynn (née Webb; born April 14, 1932) is an American Country-music singer-songwriter & author born in Butcher Hollow, near Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, to a coal-miner father. At the age of 15 she married, & soon she became pregnant. She moved to Washington state with her husband, Oliver Vanetta Lynn, Jr. (1926--1996), nicknamed "Doo". Their marriage was tumultuous; he had affairs, & she was headstrong; their life together helped to inspire her music.
On their 6 year anniversary, at the age of 21, (1953), Lynn's husband bought her a $17 Harmony guitar. She taught herself to play & when she was 24, on her wedding anniversary, he encouraged her to become a singer. She worked to improve her guitar playing, started singing at the Delta Grange Hall in Washington state with the Pen Brothers' band, The Westerners, then eventually cut her first record in February 1960. She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s, & in 1967 charted her first of 16 number-one hits (out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist & a duet partner)[1] that include "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", "You Ain't Woman Enough", "Fist City", & "Coal Miner's Daughter".
She focused on blue collar women's issues with themes about philandering husbands & persistent mistresses, & pushed boundaries in the conservative genre of Country Music by singing about birth control ("The Pill"), repeated childbirth ("One's on the Way"), double standards for men & women ("Rated "X""), & being widowed by the draft during the Vietnam War ("Dear Uncle Sam"). Country Music radio stations often refused to play her songs. Nonetheless, she became known as "The First Lady of Country Music". Her best-selling 1976 autobiography was made into an Academy Award-winning film, Coal Miner's Daughter, starring Sissy Spacek & Tommy Lee Jones, in 1980. Her most recent album, Van Lear Rose, was released in 2004, produced by Jack White, & topped the Country album charts. Lynn has received numerous awards in Country & American music.
