Loretta Lynn 1964-71

1964

Before I’m Over You (Betty Sue Perry)

In 1964 this song became Loretta Lynn’s second top ten country hit. I have no information about the recording date or location of the clip.

The album of the same name, Lynn’s second, was released in 1964. Two singles, Before I’m Over You and Wine, Women, and Song, were released from the album, both of which reached the Top 10 in 1964, jumpstarting Lynn’s career for her breakthrough in 1967. –from Wikipedia

1968

Fist City (Loretta Lynn)

The lyric of “Fist City” is a threat by the singer aimed at the gal whose been messing around with her man and making “brags round town” about it.

Written by Lynn, the song became in early 1968 her second No. 1 hit. Released under Decca Records, and produced by Owen Bradley, it was recorded in late 1967, but not released until early 1968.
