Loretta Lynn Biography | Loretta Lynn Life Achievements & Timeline | Loretta Lynn Songwriter | Loretta Lynn Background | Loretta Lynn American singer Born Loretta Webb on April 14, 1932, in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, Loretta Lynn grew up in a small cabin in a poor Appalachian coal-mining community. The second of eight children, Loretta began singing in church at a young age. Her younger sister Brenda Gail Webb also developed a love for singing and later went on to perform professionally as Crystal Gayle. In January 1948, Loretta married Oliver Lynn (aka "Doolittle" and "Mooney") just a few months before her 16th birthday. The following year, they moved to Custer, Washington, where he hoped to find better opportunities. Over the next few years, Oliver worked in logging camps and Loretta did odd jobs and looked after their four children—Betty Sue, Jack Benny, Ernest Ray and Clara Marie—who were all born by the time she turned 20. But Loretta never lost her love of music, and with her husband's encouragement she began to perform at local venues. Her talent soon landed her a contract with Zero Records, who released her first single, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl," in early 1960. To promote the song, the Lynns traveled to different country music radio stations, urging them to play it. Their efforts paid off when the song became a minor hit later that year.
