There is ample evidence she was first seen by Zero Records execs in Vancouver BC at a joint called the Chicken Coop. This is when and where they decided to record her. The article should be properly updated.

In 2006 Lynn underwent shoulder surgery after injuring herself in a fall. There were complications during the procedure and she had to be revived by doctors. The surgery was successfully completed later. [1] [2] Jwicklatz ( talk) 02:05, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

A lot of people revert age 15 to age 13, which is what she said for years. However birth records and marriage records prove she was 15 at her marriage in 1948. The following article explains how the story was changed. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/story/2012-05-18/loretta-lynn/55068814/1 Sir Rhosis ( talk) 15:24, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
"In 1967, she had the first of 16 No. 1 hits, out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner. [1] Her later hits include " Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", " You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)", " Fist City", and " Coal Miner's Daughter". [2]
Lynn focused on women's issues with themes about philandering husbands and persistent mistresses. Her music was inspired by issues she faced in her marriage. She increased the 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 and women (" Rated 'X'"), and being widowed by the draft during the Vietnam War ("Dear Uncle Sam"). [3]
Country music radio stations often refused to play her music, banning nine of her songs, citation needed but Lynn pushed on to become one of country music's legendary artists.
Her bestselling 1976 autobiography, Coal Miner's Daughter, was made into an Academy Award–winning film of the same title in 1980, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. Spacek won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Lynn. Her album Van Lear Rose, released in 2004, was produced by the alternative rock musician Jack White. Lynn and White were nominated for five Grammys and won two. [4] [5]
Lynn received numerous awards in country and American music. She was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1983, the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008, and she was honored in 2010 at the Country Music Awards. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2013. [6] Lynn was a member of the Grand Ole Opry since joining on September 25, 1962. Her debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was on October 15, 1960. Lynn recorded 70 albums including 54 studio albums, 15 compilation albums, and one tribute album, [7] unreliable source? [8]"
I removed this material as it was mainly redundant and also out of place in the pre-1960s section of the article. A couple details like dates of the Grand Ole Opry might need to be readded to appropriate sections. Rmhermen ( talk) 19:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
