After taking a hiatus in the '90s to care for and then mourn her late husband, Doolittle, Lynn reemerged with her 2004 album, "Van Lear Rose," which was produced by alt-rocker Jack White. The record reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and brought Lynn a whole new generation of fans. It also won two Grammys: Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the single "Portland Oregon," a duet with White.
Last year, the singer and MCA Nashville released "Number 1's," a compilation of 17 of Lynn's chart-topping songs from throughout her career.
Lynn became a major star in the '60s and '70s with gutsy gal tunes including "The Pill," "You Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)," "Fist City" and "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." Her signature song, "Coal Miner's Daughter," topped the country charts in 1970 and became the title of Lynn's 1978 best-selling biography, which was later made into an Oscar-winning film.
By the time she released her last hit record of the '80s, "I Lie," Lynn had logged 52 Top 10 singles and 16 No. 1 songs, according to her bio.
