This weekend, Nashville pays tribute to the coal miner's daughter — Loretta Lynn.

Friends, family and longtime listeners gather Sunday in Music City for a night of singing and stories featuring those who knew her best and appreciated her music the most.
They'll congregate at the Grand Ole Opry House, a spiritual home for the genre Lynn helped shape.
