By age eighteen, the Lynn's had another three babies, and Loretta's fondness for singing to them inspired Mooney to buy his wife her first guitar. By the mid-1960s, Lynn was the most popular female country singer in the U.S. and had a string of hits, including "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)" and "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." "Coal Miner's Daughter" became Lynn's signature song, as well as the title of her best-selling autobiography and an Oscar-winning movie about her life, starring Sissy Spacek.
