loretta was always my favourite female country singer she is simply class but there are many more i like . modern country i call it rubbish. kitty wells they didnt need to take there clothes of they didnt scream like idiots they could sing thanks to country musicians
Loretta is real Country. Everything nowadays is glorified American Idol gloss. Loretta is class and country, from the real roots. Culture matters! Great music is always born from culture.
@BimLanders Couldn't agree more. As a Country, Classic Rock, R&B, Soul and even old school Hip-Hop fan, I can say that the best music I've heard comes from artists who are true to their roots. That's where the soul is.
WOW! This is the first time that I've seen this video. This song, Success, was Loretta's first top ten single. Her first release, Honky Tonk GIrl, was her first hit that peaked at #14! The rest fifty years plus have made her career and name an icon status and one of Country Music's front runners.
Hurray Loretta! I used to listen to her when I was in Vietnam in 1967 to 1969. Had her albums and a old record player. Loved her then and nothing has changed!
OK I WILL SAY THIS LORETTA HAS ONLY HAD WORK DONE ON HER TEETH SHE HER SELF TOLD ME, HER TEETH HURT HER SO BAD SHE HAD WORK DONE YES... DONT TALK BAD ABOUT THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY THANK GOD SHE IS STILL HERE WITH US AND STILL SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!
@MrLorettafan I bet she's a very down to earth and wonderful person. I was told this by someone else who was invited to dinner at her house! He said she is very funny and witty and loves to talk about many things,especially Kentucky and life in Butcher Holler.
@blueberries4ever....I don't think Loretta had plastic surgery on her nose. If she did, I never heard about it. All I ever heard about her having done was dental work.
@Sheteck1 No she isn't 19 here hun... She was more like 26 but YES a complete natural country girl!! Such a huge natural talent! Not like these two-a-penny tart dime-a-dozen girl singers today!! No one will EVERY compare to the one and only Queen of Country Music Loretta Lynn!! And of course this was years before Tammy and Dolly (love them too)...
THIS is country music! Loretta could sing the phone book if she wanted to.Taylor Swift & all you so called "country" artists, take some lessons from the masters!
Loretta was still (basically) a little girl here. She had kids by now, but her look was still evolving. Who knew she would turn out to be so beautiful? :)

HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS TO 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. HOW YOU HAVE STARTED READING THIS DON’T STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY.

@rocketrodlover I've been to several shows and these days she finishes her signature song, she hands the mic to a band member, blows a couple kisses and she's gone! Such a great talent should stick around and absorb some of the love and admiration the fans are giving.
@LittleSonOfa Just be thankful Loretta still Tours. She could retire and have money for herself and her kids to do them all 3 life times. So stop complaining.
I believe that this song was from Loretta's first LP titled "Loretta Sings" and it also went #1 for her. Back then she was known as "The Decca Doll" before she released Coal Miner's Daughter and acquired a new nickname.
Isn't it interesting how shy Loretta was back then? Notice how she kept trying to walk off the stage, but Porter took her hand and pulled her back on? Love it, and love her.
How cool is this clip? I'm guessing from season 1 of the Porter Wagoner Show. Chattanooga Medicine Co. (Black Draught, Cardui, Soltice) chose Porter over the Wilburn Brothers, for the syndicated country music show, but Teddy and Doyle got their own show a season later, with a cast including Loretta, Don Helms, and comic/banjoist Harold Morrison.
Wow....this clip is awesome. Never seen this before. The earliest I have and which I believe is the earliest clip is one of Loretta singing, "Whispering Sea".
wow great thanks for sharing very very rare since Loretta was not able to be o any other show when she signed with the Wilburn Brother show. must be around1962-63
This footage is before she was a regular guest on The Wilburn Brothers show who also helped Loretta get signed to Decca with Owen Bradley as her producer. She left Norm Burley & Don Grashey from the Zero label who first heard this early star out on the west coast in Canada. In early booking contracts Loretta's performances of this time she would be paid a small amount of money compaired to the gals today. The "QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC" worked hard & these gals wish they'd have a career like hers.
You can tell she was more shy back then. But she still became one of The Best Female Singers In Country Music. And in the 1960's and 1970's Loretta was The Greatest Thing To Happen To The Entire Music Businness As A Whole. Love You Loretta All 50 Years Of You.
Porter is speaking with T. Tommy Cutrer & the song "Success" was written by Johnny Mullins. This is NOT the earliest black & white footage I've seen of Loretta however these are closest camera close ups I've ever seen making these performances extra special. Using a few angel shots from different cameras really is a first for Loretta as we see here. An earlier black & white performance is "Gonna Pack My Troubles' then "The Girl That I Am Now" then this footage then "Everybody Somebodies Fool"
A very happy time in Loretta's early start becoming a member of the opry which Otte Divine would present her with that award. Then only Loretta's lyrics on "Get Set For A Heartache" would really be meant for herself because around this time she would lose "THE CLINE" miss Patsy Cline her best friend in an accident. What a gal Loretta is NOT ONLY would she play guitar but she'd write many of her songs, perform AWESOME vocals why she'd even make that pretty dress with beading & lace all by herself
Actually I believe that Loretta is only 75 as of April 14. This living legend is celebrating her 50Th Anniversary in show business, and still tours like she has been for the past 40 years!
@mrblindfreddy9999 Loretta's birthday is April 14, 1935 (not 1934 like so many think) so that made her 75 in 2010. She'll be 76 this year, April 14, 2011. :-)
This performance is from 1962 or early 1963. Thanks for posting a great Loretta Lynn clip from the beginning of her career and the rest is history. This is her 50th year in the business making her a living legend.
wheres the rest of them?
