Loretta Lynn is celebrating her 91st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Loretta Lynn (The Pill, Coal Miner's Daughter, Fist City, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 91st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Lynn, a cultural icon

Born in Butcher's Holler on April 14, 1935, Loretta Lynn's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Lynn's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Loretta hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Loretta Lynn as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 91.

Happy Birthday, Loretta, you're the best!
