#lorettalynn #reaction Rapper FIRST time reaction to Loretta Lynn - Fist City! OH MY LORD! Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
My Daddy ran a truck stop, Maw Maw ran the bus station, and my uncle worked at the barbecue house. I heard everything...on the juke boxes! What a time to grow up! Loving this venture of yours into the music that made me, old rock and all country.
@@lisajones2210yes Loretta did this duet with Conway Twitty. My daughter, her best friend and I would sing this in the car all the time. It was always on the play list.
There's a scene in her biopic where she catches av girl with her hubby and she says "woman, if you want to keep that arm, you better get it off my husband." Appalachian kids learn to fight early, and we will fight for our guys.
I love that scene! "I'm warnin' you Doo! I better not ever catch you with trash like that again! And I mean it!" And to emphasize it, she goes and sits right next to Patsy!
I worked in radio for 30 years and in the mid 80's I ended up on Loretta's bus at a Conway/Loretta show. When I asked her to sign an album for me. She asked how to spell Bruce. I told her and she wrote BR and said, 'what was the rest?' I said UCE. She said, "Just cause I can sing, don't mean I had no schoolin'."
I was in high school when that came out. I went in the Navy in 1964 so I know it before that because I remember hearing when I was living at home and I never went back to that house because it was sold while I was gone..
PLEASE do "Harper Valley PTA" next by Jeannie C. Riley!! She's another pistol of a country singer, but this song was HUGE in 1968! Harper Valley PTA was the first song by a woman to top the country charts and the Billboard Hot 100 charts and was an international hit! AND it's feisty as heck! 🔥💃🎵
Absolutely! And the way Jeannie tells off those Harper Valley Hypocrites is a message we all need to be reminded of...so we can remember and realize that while it seems like times are worse than they have ever been, we have been through all of this before and survived. Same from Loretta, the coal miner's gangsta...
Loretta was a boss. She wrote most of her songs and they were mostly autobiographical. Her husband was not an easy man... You need to check out: One's on the Way Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind) The Pill
Love your reaction!!! Loretta truly was the Queen & always will be. A beautiful, sassy country girl from the hills of Kentucky. She wrote it like she saw it & sang it like she meant it.
The lady she's singing about in this song had been telling her friends that she was going to take Doo away from her, but Loretta said in an interview what really set her off was when that lady told her kids she was going to be their new momma. She then said that when she caught Doo in a car with some woman when she was touring with Patsy Cline. She went off. By the time Doo got back on the bus she'd written "You ain't woman enough to take my man" .
The "trash" was a school-bus driver who took Loretta's children to school - that's where she told them she was going to "be their new mamma". Big mistake.
Loretta grew up in terrible poverty in a tiny coal mining town in Kentucky. Her songs were often autobiographical, including this one. She married her husband Doolittle when she was only 13. People keep trying to raise the age in these times, I've noticed....but she was 13. They stayed married all their lives, but did have ups and downs. You mentioned she had a Latina vibe. I don't know if it's relevant, but her mother was (I don't know to what degree) Native American. The film Coal Minor's Daughter is an excellent film and it's about her life.
Loretta and Patsy Cline were best friends back then, both of their husband's were drunk most of the time, he would cheat on her. These songs were about her life, true stories and nothing made up. She had a hard life, but was a fighter and lived to be 90. Loretta and Conway Twitty did a lot of duets together, give a listen some time. The Queen of country music. RIP❤
Loretta Lynn was a force to be reckoned with. She kicked down every door put in front of her. _The_ _Pill_ was banned by several radio stations but Loretta couldn't be touched. She's a pioneer and paved the way for those who came after her.
Loretta Lynn sang about her life with truth. Listen to One’s On The Way and The Pill. She told the truth about life for most females at that time. Those songs were considered controversial and were banned in some places.
You need to see the movie about her life . Coal Miner’s Daughter… Cissy Spacek won an Oscar for it. She was a pioneer for women in country music that was dominated mainly by men at that time. Loretta and her mother were psychic as well. Very fascinating life she had
Long before female rappers with attitude, she was the original!!!….. can’t tell you how many songs of hers they tried to ban off the radio. They’ll never be another Loretta.
She was once asked about domestic violence in her marriage. Her reply was “I was never hit once that didn’t give it back twice.” She was no pushover, especially once she grew from a teen age newly wed to a woman of success. Check out I Miss Being a Mrs Tonight, written after her husband Dew passed away.
My late mother in law was a cousin of Loretta’s which, when it comes up, I gotta say it’s pretty awesome that I have a son who’s a distant cousin of this legend.
I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn and yes, she wrote her songs. She was gangster. She wrote based on what she knew and lived. I've watched some reactors diss Taylor Swift for "airing her dirty laundry", but Loretta Lynn wrote about her life for decades and it was one of the things that earned her the title "Queen of Country Music". Women, in particular, appreciate music that they can identify with. I believe that is a reason Taylor Swift has become such a phenomena with diehard, loyal fans.
Loretta Lynn was some times considered outlaw country with some of her songs. This is one of the songs and at least 2 others are the Pill and You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man. Loretta Lynn was from Kentucky and grew up very poor. Her father worked in the Coal mines in Eastern Kentucky. Loretta Lynn was friends with Kid Rock before she died at the age of 90. Loretta had a great sense of humor but you also didn't make her mad because she knew how to insult you without you knowing.
Loretta was an Appalachian, a hillbilly. In many wsys, that was America's OG ghetto, even though it was a rural one. It had the poverty, and it produced tough people just to survive. She shows that toughness and roughness in this song and others.
I never was a fan of Dolly begging Jolene not to take her man, or Tammy Wynette proclaiming that a woman needs to "stand by her man". Even as a young girl in the 70's I always preferred Loretta's take.
There was a secret behind the scenes of television back then. The singers put Vaseline on their teeth to help keep them continuously smiling for the camera. Another thing was to not show pregnant women on t.v. It was during this time that Loretta was pregnant with the twins, so she used the guitar to help hide her pregnancy while on camera.
She was an Eastern Kentucky girl! She was tough, it was a hard way to grow up. But you definitely don’t want to mess with a Kentucky girl, they usually can take you down! Lol.
Don't mess with a country girl. Loretta was raised tough and had to do hard chores like all country folk did back in the day. She was the type that looked meek and weak, but you didn't want to mess with her. Most street girls sat on their rumps doing nothing most of their lives just getting high or drunk and only good at running their mouths. While most country girls worked hard took care of their health, eating what come from the fields and gardens and their farm animals so naturally stronger with more stamina than the average city girl. My favorite part to this song though is, " I'm not a-sayin' my baby is a saint, 'cause he ain't And that he won't cat around with a kitty I'm here to tell you, gal, to lay off of my man If you don't wanna go to Fist CityI And like she said, She meant it too.
Glad you got to this one & yes, I was laughing at you. Loretta was tough and meant every word of this song. It was personal and this was Loretta's warning to her. In an interview Loretta admitted to having been in a couple of fights because of her husband Doo.
When I saw the thumbnail on this one, I couldn't click on it fast enough. Loretta was a true national treasure, and you can't help but love her. And yes, she wrote most all of her own material.
Try her lesser known song ‘I Want You Out of My Head, (and back in my bed’. She was a pioneer of women being sexual beings in their own right and not just being the good girl men miss or the bad girl that leads them astray in country music. Her duets with Conway Twitty are legendary in the man/woman genre. Also for a laugh check their duet ‘You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly’…. It’s a hoot
It really was her town. She bought a horse property and didn't realise the little town came with it. By being Loretta she brought money int town - but she owned it all ! She was bad ass and wrote her stuff herself !
She puts her husband in place with Don't Come Home A Drinking. You really need to watch the movie Coal Miner's Daughter it's so true to the real life that they had to calm it down to make the movie. She and her husband actually fought physically, she grew up using her first with her brothers and she was still a child when she got married but she was faithful and loyal. Got to love and respect her for sure.
Loretta Lynn was revolutionary with her songs in the 1960's! They were hits too at that time! She did all these songs when the music industry was male dominated and very few women succeeded!
She writes all of her songs she has drawers full of songs waiting to be published she writes about real life issues for women and families. Her and Conway would push the boundaries of County if they said no he would say yes this is going to be a smash hit. He didn't belong to the Grand ole Opry he would not follow their rules. They were the best duet in Country Music received quite a few awards.
You know - WE WERE LAUGHING - but, it was because of your APPRECIATION at her BARS!! That's the way WE FELT when these songs first came out! Funny to me - Loretta always sounded like she was ready to GO to Fist City - while, the WHOLE while - smiling while she's singin'!! I LOVE THESE REACTIONS, BP!!! THANKS for giving these a listen! THEY ARE AWESOME and ICONIC songs!! Loretta was AWESOME, back in the day - and, I'm so GLAD that I grew up with all these GEMS!! :) HUGS!
She was a tiny MIGHTY GIRL! She was the oldest child in an extremely poor family. She married very young, and had several children. Her husband gave her the guitar and she self taught, wrote songs and became the UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC, she was good a friend to Patsy Cline. Please watch COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, the movie. She's amazing.
The school bus driver told Loretta's kids she was dating their dad and he was going to divorce Loretta and she was going to be their new mom. Wrong thing to say to the kids of the woman who owned half the town. It did NOT go well for the bus driver and Loretta got a hit song.
Here's a quote from an article after her death. She married her husband when she was 15. " Their enduring union, which lasted for 48 years until Doo's death in 1996, weathered all sorts of storms, including his cheating and drinking - much of which was chronicled in her honky-tonk hits, including "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)" and "Fist City." "[We had] lots of ups and downs," Lynn told PEOPLE in 2010, but as she once famously said, "He never hit me one time that I didn't hit him back twice." "
I don’t know if you watch very many movies, but there is a movie called coal Miner’s daughter that is about Loretta’s life and the star of the movie is Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones plays her husband Mooney Lynn. It is a great movie.
Loretta in a poor family in the Appalachian mountains. She got married at 13 and her husband was not the most faithful man on this earth. There's more than one story out there about them going to fish City because Loretta did not play. And she gave every bit as good as she got. Loretta also wrote her own songs and she wrote them about what she lived. And she's a typical you see that smile on the face of the Southern woman when she's threatening you run don't walk as fast as you can away.
She was a permanent guest star on the wilburn brothers t.v. show which is what shes on here. It was the perfect forum for her to showcase her powerful singing and songwriting she just blew everybody in nashville away how shed come each week with a different totally original song. People would be like wtf? or whoose writing these? And shed just smile through the whole thing
She signed LIFETIME CONTRACTS (20 years each) that she didn't really understand. Oh, she didn't just sign 1...she signed 5 (100 years worth)! The Wilburn Brothers basically "owned" her. When she decided to go solo and leave them, they sued her and won about $2Million. Unfortunately, it destroyed their friendship. She didn't regret leaving the business deal, but, she always regretted losing the friendship. The good part is, they had introduced her to one of, if not the top Country Music record company executives in history, Owen Bradley of (at that time) DECCA Records, and her liked her. She signed with DECCA, and was called by some the DECCA Doll.
I can't remember of the title was just The Pill, or Mama's got the Pill, but it's quite the hoot. You should cbeck it out. Loretta has so many, all worth listening to.
At the time she wrote this song Loretta was on tour with Patsey Cline, and she had just caught Doolittle Lynn in as car with another woman. At that time Patsey was her bff and she wrote some tough song as well so she helped Loretta. You should listen to the song The Pill by Loretta. When she was growing up, she has a lot of brothers, so she knew how to fight. Loretta's mother was Chalakee Indian she has a temper when she got mad, so Loretta had a real good bad temper. Other sone you listen to is Don't Come Home a Drinkin, you would like as well.
She has taken a few to Fist City! She said if you get the first lick in, you should do ok. But, if you don't get the first lick in, it ain't so good. Also, her husband would hit her, and she would hit him back twice! When she says detour around my town...she means the real town of Hurricane Mills, Temnessee which was included in the deal (unbeknownst to her at the time) when she bought her mansion and ranch in about 1965. Her mansion sits on a small hill overlooking the river and her town on the other bank. Her family still lives on the ranch. The mansion is open for tours, along with her museum, a replica coal mine shaft, and a replica of the cabin she grew up in on a hill in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky.
You should read her autobiography "Coal Miner's Daughter" - she had such a hard life. She married at 15 and if memory serves, had her first child at 16. Her songs were always good. BTW, Loretta's ancestry was Cherokee on her mother's side. Another great song was "You Ain't Woman Enough". Rest in peace Loretta, you've earned it.
Classic and really good country songs tell about life and what matters.They don’t try to change the world, just themselves and who they love.. Fighting for what and who you love is basic. To many people dismiss country because it’s basic, but really isn’t what matters most basic to us all?
Loretta wrote a lot of her songs & they were about her life. Her husband was a cheater. As a kid i listened to my parents. Loretta is the Queen & she sang The Pill & there were radio stations that refused to play it. But too many people called in & they caved. PLEASE react to Conway Twitty. His voice is literal velvet.
haha - thx black pegasus- for loving good ol country songs- ms loretta lynn - so fun reaction - glad to be on ur music journey ! - this is why we love music - country songs - good storytelling ! cant wait to see more videos from ya ! much love to you and yours - a big fan already
You have the best reaction shows on U-tube!! When I was in high school(60's), blonde haired girls were told by a girl gang that they were going to carve a letter on their faces. One of my friends had it done to her. I caught one of the gang girls in the girls restroom and made her wish she didn't. Not bragging but that was just wrong. "Vengeance is mine." Says God, but I don't think He would want us to stand back and not protect eachother. I Used to sing Loretta Lynne songs and play guitar on 3" reel to reel tapes and send them to my husband while he was on his 4th tour in Vietnam, USAF. He had already served in Korea before I knew him. Now my daughter sings them. Wish he was here to listen to her. Love watching your reactions BP!!
Check out Chapel Heart’s response to this song also titled Fist City, per Loretta’s personal request to the ladies (Chapel Heart) after Loretta heard their version of Dolly Parton’s song Jolene, also a must listen to.
I Love this woman. She is a Legend!!! I grew up listening to her. She country and we don't play when it comes to our man. I understand this song. Cause when you Love ya man ain't no other woman gonna take him away!
