Lynn's initial output on the label -- particularly the song Success (1962), her first top 10 single -- was significantly different from her earlier material, due in large part to the influence of friend and fellow Decca artist Patsy Cline.
Lynn even composed what is essentially an anti-war song, Dear Uncle Sam (1966), in the midst of the "police action" still taking place in Vietnam (a fact that makes her support of war-happy George W. Bush in 2004 even more puzzling).
The career-defining moment for Lynn arrived in 1970 with the release of her song Coal Miner's Daughter, a title that would also be used for her best-selling 1976 autobiography, and again for a feature film based on the book released in 1980 (in which she was skillfully portrayed by actress Sissy Spacek).
