Loretta Lynn, a Country Music Legend died at 90

Loretta Lynn, one of the most eldest singer and composer from Kentucky, United States died at the age of 90. She had a tough life in her childhood and overcoming those obstacles to become America’s one of the best singer in history.

Lynn’s death has been confirmed by her family members, her daughter made this news public that Lynn died peacefully at her residence in Tennessee on Tuesday October 4, 2022.

She said in an interview “We are saying this with a heavy heart, our beloved mother, Loreatta Lynn died in peace this Tuesday morning, during the last moments of her life she was in sleep in her precious courtyard”

Lynn had to struggle a lot during the starting days of her career as she had to look after her family and even her career. When she became a mother it became even more challenging to have a perfect balance between family and career. She was a mother to four children when she was in her initial days of singing in 1960s.

Almost all of her songs depicted life in a very unique perspective and had a global reach. She gained immense fame in a very short period of time, she personally composed all of her songs which also helped her to express emotions more intimately and could connect to a larger audience. Her songs were all about a person’s struggles, failures and challenges and how one could overcome all and eventually succeed in life.

Her songs were more about her own experience in life, right from childhood where she used to get bullied in school and in home too she had really strict parents, and when she grew adult she used to have lot of conflicts with her husband and she even had to manage all her four kids alone.

Even though her songs used to had a personal connect with her audience but she never took help by depicting liberation, salvation and Politics to convey her message as these are used by many just to get quick fame. Her popular songs from 1960s to 1970s helped in changing long-standing beliefs of gender norms in society.

It was mostly with her tracks which includes “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin” and “Rated X” which helped in ending the ever lasting stereotypical gender notions prevailing in the society.

Lynn was from that era where women usually didn’t had much say in the society and when there was something which needed to be said regarding women it was mainly conveyed through male voices. There was handful of female singers at that time and to not only sing but to succeed was something nearly impossible which Lynn achieved.

She was the first woman from Nashville who came and conquered the music industry, she was a self made star who believed in herself. All of her hits were composed by herself which makes her even more special.

During the Kennedy Center Honor awards back in 2003 when Lynn was about to be awarded, she said to the people of Tennessee: “I am really surprised looking at the response to my songs from all of you as i don’t find my songs to be so revolutionary for society. It makes me feel really special that you are giving me so much love and appreciation.”

Social awareness? I don’t know?” Lynn asked. “I was just trying to showcase my life in form of song to all of you. People usually ignores small things in life but I think those the moments which makes life more memorable and worth living.”

“This situation is getting tricky and beyond manageable,” He conveyed to a group of fans. “I have been always thankful to God for whatever I am today and it would have never been possible without help from God.

She was the first female singer in the history to be titled as the “Entertainer of the Year” for a couple of genres in prominent shows which includes Academy of Country Music in 1975 and Country Music Association.

In one of her major hits “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” Lynn expressed the story of her life and the struggles she had go through when she was a child which eventually got her connected to a large number of audience.
