Big Names Turn Out For Christian Celebrity's Birthday Concert

At Loretta Lynn's age, you'd think she'd have had plenty of birthday bashes. But the legendary singer/songwriter told NPR this was her very first birthday party (and she loved it!).

"When I was a little girl, mommy would say, 'Well, today, you're 5 years old.' Next time, 'Today, you're 6,'" she explained to NPR host Jeffrey Brown. "I never had a birthday."

So, now, at age 87, Loretta Lynn is making up for all those lost parties with a blow out birthday concert in Nashville, TN!

Surrounded by friends, such as George Strait, Tanya Tucker, Little Big Town, and Alison Krauss, Loretta sings ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter.’

“Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter

In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler

We were poor but we had love

That's the one thing that daddy made sure of

He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar”

Everyone on stage joins in for the celebration and it’s a truly a star-studded affair. With a recently released new album, there seems to be no slowing down for Loretta Lynn. She’s living proof that age is just a number!
