“ The Grammys have always been stingy toward Lynn, awarding only four when it seems she should have won twice that in the 1960s and ’70s alone. But in 1966, Lynn’s classic “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’” lost to Jeannie Seely’s “Don’t Touch Me.” Don’t remember that one? Exactly. In 1972, Donna Fargo’s inane “Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.” won instead of Lynn’s blue-collar tribute, “One’s On the Way.” In 1975, Lynn’s groundbreaking “The Pill” lost to Linda Ronstadt’s cover of “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You).” It gets worse. “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Fist City,” “You’re Lookin’ At Country” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)” weren’t even nominated.
