"To make it in this business, you either have to be first, great or different,� says living legend Loretta Lynn. "And I was the first to ever go into Nashville, singin' it like the women lived it.�In addition to being "first,� she was also "great� and "different.� Loretta's instantly recognizable delivery is one of the greatest country-music voices in history. As for "different,� no songwriter has a more distinctive body of work. In lyrics such as "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'� and "Your Squaw Is on the War Path,� she refused to be any man's doormat. She challenged female rivals in "You Ain't Woman Enough� and "Fist City.� She showed tremendous blue-collar pride in "Coal Miner's Daughter� and "You're Lookin' at Country.� She is unafraid of controversy, whether the topic is sex ("Wings Upon Your Horns�), divorce ("Rated X�), alcohol ("Wouldn't It Be Great�), war ("Dear Uncle Sam�), or "The Pill,� her celebration of sexual liberation, which were among some of her songs to be banned by many radio stations. Like the lady herself, Loretta Lynn's songs shoot from the hip.
