Crystal Gayle has shared a rare photo of Loretta Lynn on her 90th birthday. Gayle was just nine years old when Lynn, her older sister, released her first record, “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl” in 1960. And Gayle would then go on to follow in her big sister’s footsteps, enjoying a musical career of her own with her own critically acclaimed success.

The two have, of course, collaborated over the years as well, which fans have loved. So of course, it made sense that Gayle was one of the first people to wish Lynn a happy 90th birthday, a milestone.

Those tribute messages came in the form of a video, each one being meshed into a montage for Lynn posted by her team on her Instagram account. Along with the sweet video messages were collections of photos and videos of Lynn throughout her stellar music career.
