Music world reacts to death of icon Loretta Lynn
Loretta Lynn, who died Tuesday at 90 years old, was a standard-bearer of country music and its most decorated female artist ever.
The self-taught musician proved a vast influence over her six decades in the business, and news of her passing triggered an outpouring of praise and condolences from her fellow musicians.
Here is a selection of tributes to Lynn:
Singer Dolly Parton: "So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta. We've been like sisters all the years we've been in Nashville and she was a wonderful human being, wonderful talent, had millions of fans and I'm one of them. I miss her dearly as we all will. May she rest in peace."

Nashville Songwriters Association: "Country music lost its Queen today. Loretta Lynn, we will always honor and love you."
Singer Trace Adkins: "The poet that could contextualize her life has yet to be born. I'll cherish the memories of the times I was in her presence. Rest In peace, darling."
